Did Green Bay Packers do Enough to Fix Biggest Weakness?

After a disappointing end to what was once a promising season in 2024, it begs the question of whether the Packers did enough to fortify their biggest weakness across the roster.

Pro Football Focus analysts Max Chadwick and Dalton Wasserman put together a list of each team’s biggest weaknesses entering the 2025 season, including the Packers’ defensive line.

“Green Bay’s defensive line simply didn’t make the impact it needed to under first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley,” Wasserman and Chadwick write for PFF. “The unit placed among the bottom 10 defensive lines in PFF overall grade, PFF run-defense grade and PFF pass-rush grade. Edge defender Rashan Gary was the only player among the group to finish the season with at least a 70.0 PFF overall grade.”

The Packers could be hoping that edge rusher Lukas Van Ness makes major strides in his third season and that Rashan Gary has another dominant season. However, even though the Packers have historically been reluctant to dip their toes into the free agent waters, perhaps this would have been a pressing need to allocate significant cap space to upgrading, given the outsized impact the position group is having on championship contenders across the NFL.
