Adam: Jordy Nelson – It was between Nelson and Starks and I went with Nelson simply because the Packers will be throwing more than running.

Al: Morgan Burnett – As last off season progressed, I loved what I was reading about Morgan Burnett. Thrown in as the #1 thanks to Atari Bigby’s injury, Burnett mastered Capers’ defense and was even taking a leadership role. That doesn’t happen with too many rookie safeties. During the preseason games, I loved what I saw of Morgan Burnett. I was convinced that by the end of the year, he would be playing like veteran rather than a rookie. I look for Burnett to make that giant leap I expected last year and solidify his status as one of the best young safeties in the league.

Chad: Mike Neal – If there’s one guy who’s hungry and ready to make a splash this season, it’s Mike Neal. He is most likely going to be in the starting line-up when the season begins, and he’ll get every opportunity to wreak havoc on the line. Someone will need to fill Cullen Jenkins’ shoes, and I think Neal is just the guy to do it.

Kris: James Starks – Ryan Grant is no sure thing coming back from injury and Starks will take full advantage of his opportunity. We only caught a glimpse of his potential in last season’s playoffs and he should shine with 16 games to showcase his talents.

Thomas: Andrew Quarless – It took Finley a while to get going and it might be the same thing for Quarless. With more attention being focused on Finley and Jennings, Quarless has the opportunity to surprise everyone. Also add in the fact that Quarless is a better blocker than Finley and he might see the field more as an inline pass threat.

Zach: Jordy Nelson – I feel strongly about Nelson’s potential impact for next season, and I’d be absolutely shocked if he didn’t see the third-most passes coming his way in 2011 (behind Jennings and Finley). That alone should set him up for a breakout season. And while it’s probably never smart to rule out Driver, it’s Nelson’s time in the offense. He’ll build off his Super Bowl performance.

Jermicahel FInley will break out and prove he's one of the top receiving TE's in the league, but we kind of already knew that. I think Jordy, Starks and Quarless are bad choices. With Finley coming back and brining in Cobb I don't think there will be significantly more balls going his way than last year. Straks has to compete with a retuning Ryan Grant, who has become overlooked, as well as the rookie. Quarless is a mediocre TE, and we have one of the best receiving TE's in the league returning, additionally we drafted two this year.

Neal and Burnett are good picks. They both could end up starting and playing a big role on defense.

I would go with Neal, easily. Burnett got outplayed by a journeyman, Charlie Peprah, after he went down with an injury last year. Quarless was awful, and I sure am tired of hearing how the fact that Finley sucked as a rookie and then got good in his second year means that Quarless should do the same thing. Jordy Nelson is not a bad choice, but he has already kind of made his splash. Starks could also be good, but only if Grant gets hurt again or fails to completely recover from his injury.

Eh. I think that Starks is going to get a lot of playing time regardless of Grant's status. There are too many teams in the league these days that prove the effectiveness of having two RB's. Also, I think that Bishop is going to continue gaining speed and make a big "splash" this year. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Dude Burnett was AWESOME last year before he injured his knee. AWESOME. Peprah was solid, but not THAT good.

But not the Packers. Mike McCarthy has staunchly refused to adopt a two-back system thus far in his five years as a head coach. Maybe having two good RBs could lead to a change in his approach, but I doubt it.

I thought he looked OK for a rookie who was still learning the system and his role. I thought that he would improve significantly throughout the season. Hopefully we will find out this season.

Yeah, I think he would've improved during the season, but then again, maybe not. Safety is a difficult position for a rookie. Even our best ones, like Collins and Sharper, took a few years to get good, and they were higher draft picks than Burnett.

Burnett's a ball hawk. Remember that INT he made, coming up into the backfield? That was awesome. Forget which game. He will break out this year.
But my REAL pick as breakout player: JUSTIN HARRELL!
