Green Bay Packers: Way too early 53-man roster prediction
By Paul Bretl
Defensive Line (5)
Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Kinsley Keke, Dean Lowry, Montravius Adams
Pass rush has been a major focus this offseason for the Green Bay Packers and rightfully so, and with the offseason additions, this unit as a whole has been much improved.
This has become a very deep position for this Packers’ team. We know what Daniels and Clark can bring to the table and Lowry put together a nice season last year, totaling three sacks, five quarterback hits, and 44 total tackles.
Rookie Kingsley Keke is expected to push for playing time and with Za’Darius Smith and Rashan Gary’s ability to kick inside, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will have plenty of options at the interior defensive line position.
The wildcard is Adams, who may see his playing time decrease this season if we don’t see more out of him. However, when Green Bay drafted him, they knew he was a bit of a project and at just 23-years-old, he was able to take a step forward in 2018 and I believe they give him another season to prove himself.
Given the Green Bay Packers depth and versatility at this position, the odd man out is Tyler Lancaster, who I ultimately had to leave off of the roster.
