Tyler Ervin was a good story in 2019, but was unable to run it back with success in 2020. Both he and Jamaal Williams are extra to the Packers’ offense–they’d be nice to have, but aren’t deal-breakers. Lane Taylor’s return would be great as well, but Green Bay prepared for his departure in last year’s draft.

Defensively, Raven Green failed to live up to expectations last year and was a roller coaster at the safety position. Green Bay was finally able to force Damon Harrison to come to Green Bay late in the season, but it’s highly unlikely he’ll come back. If he did, he’d be a huge boost to their defense, particularly their ability to stop the run.
