I think Bo makes the team due to special teams. And then added versatility.

How many are they going to keep?

Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs are the starters.

Javon Bullard slides over from Safety to NB some of the time.

Kalen King was a 7th round pick last year. Is he going to stick? I don't know for sure. Last year there sure was a lot of excitement that such a wonderful "fell" to them in the 7th. You know, Kinda like Brenton Cox Jr. is a steal.


Even though he is a 7th round pick this year I think Micah Robinson is probably ahead of Bo on the depth chart.
Tyron Herring as an UDFA. He may have more upside than Bo.

Isaiah Dunn has been around since 2021 and not made a name for himself yet.
As a 6th round pick for KC last year, I don't think Kamal Hadden is going to make it unless he wows the staff in camp.
Gregory Junior was selected in the 6th round of 2022. He has had plenty of time to impress someone. He hasn't. He can't even make the Jags team.


I don't know how many CB they will keep. The bottom of the depth chart is not very impressive. Once upon a time they kept 5 CB and 5 S. Then it went to 6-4. Today they claim they are all DBs and can play interchangeably. I question that statement but that might be the prelude to keeping only 4 or 5 CB with S picking up the slack.

Before doing this rather simplistic breakdown I didn't think Bo had a chance. Now, perhaps he can make the team as a CB. Odds are slim but there is a path.

Under Gute, the Packers have normally kept 5 CBs and 5 Safeties. Counting Bullard as a Safety, not a CB.

Teams used to often keep 6 CBs, but that has happened less lately, at least the Packers under Gute.

Nixon, Hobbs and Valentine are the only 3 that look like they got a clear spot, the other.


CB King has gotten all the hype, but the reality is that CB Hadden got elevated from the PS more often than King did and got more snaps on ST and defense than King did. So I'm not buying into the hype and think it's a wide open race for CB4 and CB5.

And due to STs, Melton might have an inside track at CB5, which the Packers have lost a number of their other top STs snap guys from last year.
