[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1057725, member: 12283"] Being young has everything to do with future improvement. The biggest gains that NFL players make are between year 1 and year 2, and then again between year 2 and year 3. With the exception of specialists and quarterbacks, players tend generally to be close to their prime by their 3rd year in the league. Therefore, a roster that is stocked largely with rookies, one year vets, and two year vets has the highest upside because those "leap seasons" are still in front of many of their players. Obviously the Packers will add a rookie class, but look at how many guys who played in 2024 are entering year 2 or year 3-- most of these players will be better in 2025: -Emanuel Wilson -Tucker Kraft -Luke Musgrave -Jayden Reed -Dontayvion Wicks -Malik Heath -Jordan Morgan -Lukas Van Ness -Brenton Cox -Karl Brooks -Colby Wooden -Edgerrin Cooper -Carrington Valentine -Evan Williams -Javon Bullard (how in the world did you determine that we have seen the best of Bullard after one season??) Then you have guys who are technically entering year 4, but who have only started at their respective positions for 1-2 seasons, which means there is probably still meat left on the bone: -Jordan Love (QB primes tend to be in the 28-32 age range and Love is just 26) -Rasheed Walker -Zach Tom -Sean Rhyan -Kingsley Enagbare -Devonte Wyatt -Quay Walker And then you have guys in that same phase who haven't seen the field much yet, but are in that window. Most of them won't become difference makers, but even one or two guys impacting the team from this group would make a difference towards improvement: -Marshawn Lloyd -Chris Brooks -Ben Sims -John Fitzpatrick -Kadeem Telfort -Travis Glover -Jacob Monk -Ty'Ron Hopper -Kitan Oladapo You then add a rookie class of maybe 9 guys to this group and you're talking about 55-60% of your roster being in this "improvement window." [B]TL;DR Version: Youth/inexperience is the best predictor of future improvement in the NFL; the Packers have tons of guys who will be on their 53 man roster who are young and have limited experience so far and they therefore have a ton of upward mobility.
