Locked On Packers - Daily Podcast On The Green Bay Packers Locked On Podcast Network

We went through the needs for the Packers before the NFL draft, but after the selections, what did we learn about who is truly competing for a starting spot? And what roles beyond the starting spots could be up for grabs?

One of the hardest things in sports is to go from a really good player to a great one. The Packers have a player ready to make that jump this season and he can get a big boost from Jeff Hafley in one vital way. Plus, Bo Melton. That's it. That's the tweet.

It's quiet in June for once in Green Bay. No QB drama or players wondering what their futures are with the team. No questions about the very identity of the football team. Just ... football. And that same can't be said for the rest of the top teams in the NFC. Plus, can Anders Carlson save his career?

This question of whether the Packers need a true WR1 has swirled for two seasons now. Seeing the offense work without one knowing how expensive having one is, makes this roster construction idea for Green Bay. Plus, don't fear regression, fear injury with Jordan Love.

Where would Jordan Love go in a draft starting a franchise today? Maybe higher than you think. Plus why the Packers could be close to having elite LB play and be careful buying too fully into the Jeff Hafley hype; we've seen this movie before.

What's next for Matt LaFleur? The latest in our "What's next?" series focuses on the Packers head coach and features his former pupil in Atlanta, Matt Ryan. The long-time NFL quarterback discusses Kyle Shanahan's influence, LaFleur's ascendence and even Jeff Hafley's arrival. Plus, what LaFleur needs to do to take the "next" step.
