[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1092675, member: 10086"] Matt will have the core group of players at his disposal. If I were a guessing man and I am even at risk of being hyper criticized! I see Wyatt or Kraft in a similar scenario. Maybe maybe a designation holding him for a month at most. Yet either have a coin flips chance at suiting up Week 1 also. Parsons is projecting ahead of plans. That said he’s a large investment so I could see them just going safe on Pup Or IR to start and then there ramp him for a couple weeks. Looking outside these obvious high end Starter types that the media will focus on…The Packers have a potential 4-5 players coming back off injury from 2025 that could fight for starter or primary depth roles (eventual starter). They are the unproven, under-the-radar types that get largely forgotten about. Until they aren’t Glover, Lloyd, Williams, Oliver immediately come to mind. Green Bay currently has 23 players returning from draft classes 2023-2025 alone. Those are generally the players you start to see “pop”. Although admittedly we only had a couple in 2025 (Kraft being obvious). We will see a plethora of Sophomore to Seniors Rookie contract getting more involved. That’s the advantage of drafting 30+ players in those drafts. The residual resulting Davante and Rodgers bringing quality picks. You lose some to other teams etc but the sheer numbers are advantageous. The “youngest” isn’t the true advantage. It is more projecting. Some of that projecting will become an increasingly involved reality in 2026. Even when players don’t play a snap during “regular season” OR maybe just participate in Camp? It’s still a critical piece of maturing into an involved Starter. While it’s our Team MO to hold Rookies back with rare exception, Once they reach Sophomore or Junior status? GB puts those same players on the fast track to displaying their draft value. Green Bay has been the template for holding Rookies back. In ways they remind me of Collegiate programs like the Iowa Hawkeyes. It’s frustrating especially as a fan to see Golden held back etc. Yet It’s partly how the team stays so relevant on a continuum.
