Five Takeaways from the Packers' Unofficial Depth Chart

The Green Bay Packers released their first unofficial depth chart of training camp late Tuesday afternoon.

The first preseason game is on Saturday, which makes the term unofficial mentioned above, even more important.

No, most of these things are not set in stone outside of the obvious.

We know that barring injury Jordan Love will start Week 1 against the Detroit Lions.

We know Brandon McManus will be kicking field goals.

Between that? There’s a lot of competition for spots both on the roster, and on the field.

Those jobs will be battled for throughout training camp and the exhibition season, but there are some things that can be learned into what way the team may be leaning as the Packers steamroll toward the regular season.

Here is a look at our five takeaways from today’s depth chart.

Pass Catchers

Let’s start at the position everyone loves the most, shall we?

Matthew Golden has been one of the early stars of training camp, which was likely the hope of everyone when the Packers picked him in the first round last April. He seems to be finding his way onto the field more every day, and building his chemistry with Jordan Love.

I think he's done a really nice job with his opportunities. And again, it's very, very early in the beginning stages. But he’s done a very nice job with his opportunities.” General Manager Brian Gutekunst said.

“I do think being a three year guy, two years at Houston, one year at Texas, he's young, certainly the exposure at Texas probably was very helpful coming in his ability to succeed at the end of that season. But I do think sometimes the players we're getting now are a little more accustomed to adjusting quickly, just because there's so much more movement, and they bounced around a little bit. So the ability to adjust, I think, they’ve had that experience already, so that may help him. But he's really smart, you know, and another one of our guys that’s adjusted really well.”
