With an exciting incoming class of rookies following the 2023 NFL Draft comes danger for a group of veterans on the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay is undergoing a rebuild, inserting a massive 13-man draft class into the mix to add some new talent to the roster. Green Bay did an excellent job balancing the best player available and drafting for need, filling plenty of holes.

However, players hoping for expanded opportunities will get pushed further down the depth chart. Let’s check out five players whose jobs–whether that be starting, their place on the depth chat, or a roster spot–are in danger following the Draft.

These five players on the Green Bay Packers have their jobs in extreme danger following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Packers whose jobs are in danger following Draft: Kingsley Enagbare

Enagbare filled in admirably during his rookie year when Rashan Gary went out with a torn ACL. In 255 pass-rushing snaps, he accrued 17 hurries, five quarterback hits and three sacks. Not bad for a fifth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Unfortunately, he is likely to drop further on the depth chart. The obvious addition is first-rounder Lukas Van Ness, plus the return of Gary from his injury. However, the selections of Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden could also slide outside occasionally and take some reps from Enagbare. He can’t rest on his solid rookie season and must continue improving.
