We’ll start with Ryan Wood kicking off our positional preview series with his look at the quarterback position.

From Ryan:

Everyone in the NFL knows what the Green Bay Packers have atop their quarterback depth chart. The question that could impact their 2018 season: What do the Packers have behind Aaron Rodgers?

The Packers saw their franchise-best stretch of eight straight playoff appearances end last season mostly because they were not adequately prepared at backup quarterback. That was coach Mike McCarthy’s assessment, lamenting third-year quarterback Brett Hundley’s inability to take advantage of his opportunity after Rodgers broke the collarbone in his throwing shoulder.

So new general manager Brian Gutekunst got busy. He shipped cornerback Damarious Randall to Cleveland for Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer, trying to ensure there would be real competition for the No. 2 job.

Will Gutekunst’s first major transaction as GM work? The Packers hope they never have to find out. So long as Rodgers is healthy, their quarterback production will be the envy of the rest of the league. But the Packers learned one thing last season: Nothing torpedoes a team like a backup quarterback who can’t compete.
