15. Krys Barnes and 14. Christian Kirksey

I combined these two because it appears Krys Barnes might be overtaking Christian Kirksey at inside linebacker. Whoever mans the primary job will be counted on for big things, especially in the running game. Green Bay has struggled to stop the run at various points in the season which has left their potent offense wilting on the sidelines. If Barnes and Kirksey can step up and make some plays, it will help them get off the field quicker than ever.

13. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and 12. Allen Lazard

Davante Adams is certain to demand a lot of attention from opposing defenses which means both Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard will have plenty of one-on-one opportunities. Valdes-Scantling can bust defenses open over the top while Lazard can do more of the dirty work in the middle of the field. These two guys will be counted on to help pick up the offensive slack if defenses focus too hard on taking Adams away.

11. Corey Linsley

Corey Linsley returned just in time to get his feet under him for the playoffs. He’s been one of the best centers in the NFL this year and will get paid this offseason. Before that, he has great potential to create holes for the running backs and keep Aaron Rodgers upright.
