1. Aaron Rodgers- He is main gear of the offense, as well as the entire team.
2. Nick Perry- Defense has been dying for a player opposite of Matthews. Last I heard, he didn't look great in OTA's, which is to be expected as he was a hand-in-dirt player throughout college. Important help in pass rush.
3. Jerel Worthy- Like Perry, defense needs this rookie to perform (like a Cullen Jenkins). Defense success will rely on Worthy (and Perry) pass rush.
4. M.D. Jennings- Assuming he takes the starting role, this is by far the biggest hole on the entire team (imo) because of the predecessor. Jennings has some big shoes to fill and is an important piece to the defensive back field.
5. Tramon Williams- With an injury-ridden season, Tramon had one of his most disappointing season (much thanks to the pass rush as well). He is the #1 CB on the team and needs to perform like one to give this defensive back field the dominance it once has in '10-'11 season.

6. Jeff Saturday- Center was another vacancy the Packers needed to fill. While the offensive line doesn't have too many questions, it is important that Saturday 1. still has gas in the tank, and 2. can click with the current line and Rodgers. Not much doubt in my mind, at least for a year or two.
7. Marshall Newhouse- Seeing as Sherrod had failed his physical, I will use Newhouse. Protector of Rodgers' back. I don't have him higher because there were a few times Newhouse had played well last season and I think he can build on that with this off-season (I think I am one of the few that would prefer Newhouse over Sherrod).
8. Charles Woodson- Another year older and Packers defense is still going to heavily rely on his skill set, now with a small percentage of play at safety. Woodson is an important piece of keeping the secondary of the Packers focused and ready to play every game.
9. Clay Matthews- With the addition of Perry, Clay Matthews is moving back to the right side to play against the left tackles. A huge component to the Packers pass rush, Clay needs to bank off of other players rushing abilities and also stay healthy throughout the season (wrecked hammy).
10. Jermichael Finley- Finley had a rough time last season with a lot of criticism about his dropped passes. I believe the Packers offense revolves around Finley being on the field because he is such a dangerous options, teams must game plan around him. For the offense to be 100% successful, Finley will have to be on top of his game...at least a top 3 tight end.

11. Brian Bulaga- Possibly one of the best, maybe 2nd best offensive lineman for the Packers behind Josh Sitton. Bulaga has done a nice job sealing off the right side for Rodgers and also has great chemistry with fellow lineman, Sitton. It is important for Bulaga to build off past seasons success.
12. B.J. Raji-Had a huge slump of a year last season. Raji must stuff the middle and get more pressure on the pass rush. In his defense, he is on the field A LOT! With the additions to the d-line, Raji should capitalize with the surrounding help.
13. Morgan Burnett- Needs to be injury free this season in order to help the new guy playing across from him. I have liked watching Burnett play over the years, but it would be nice to see him play a full season with zero injuries (hasn't happened yet).
14. Randall Cobb- Two aspects of importance. First, the return game. Cobb brings the Packers something they have been lacking for quite some time. I also think it is important to get him on the field offensively...a lot more than last season.
15. Desmond Bishop- One of the more weaker, overlooked parts of the Packers defense. Bishop is the best the Packers have at the position since AJ Hawk continually struggles to play like he did in college. With the lack of another MLB, it is important that he plays top notch football and stays healthy in the meantime (more calf problems already).

16. Greg Jennings- Only put him on the list because of his injuries.
17. Jordy Nelson- Top 10 in receiving yards and top 3 in touchdowns last season, it is vital that Nelson has continued success to help his surrounding wide receivers. WHITE LIGHTNING!
18. James Starks- Starks is lower on the list of importance because the Packers don't have much need for the running game. However, Starks can be that guy to give the Packers a little spark in this small portion of the playbook. Like many others, needs to stay injury free.
19. Alex Green- We hear so much about how this is going to be the go to guy. Like Starks, Green can help spark that small portion of the playbook. He would be a good 1-2 punch with Starks and help in the screen game.
20. Sam Shields- I think like Charlie Peprah, Shields was a guy who was helped in the '10-'11 season by the Packers pass rush. In some ways, you have to be willing to cut the guy some small slack (read Ty Dunne's article on tackling) because the guy never played a snap of defense in his life. He needs to step up as one of the top CBs so that the Packers do not have to immediately rely on a rookie.

Went a little overboard, sorry.
