With both of them on one-year deals that could lead to ERFA tags in 2023 and RFA tags in 2024, I’m going to lean Heflin, who is two years younger. Heflin provides more value as a 3-4 defensive end while Slayton gives the team more pass-rushing juice as a nickel defensive tackle. On the defensive line, the team needs to decide on keeping five or six defensive linemen, with Jack Heflin and Chris Slayton being the frontrunners for that final roster spot. On the defensive side of the ball, there is a lot more wiggle room at virtually every position. Knowing the Kylin Hill - who has a similar skillset to Goodson - is going to return from the physically unable to perform list at some point this season, I lean Taylor in a very close race. Goodson and Taylor essentially split snaps right down the middle in the last two weeks of the preseason, with Goodson having the edge on perimeter runs and as a pass-catcher while Taylor has the edge as an inside runner, pass-blocker and special teams player. The biggest question I have on the offensive side of the ball is if Tyler Goodson or Patrick Taylor is going to be the team’s third running back.

Quarterbacks (2): Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love Let’s take a look at how Justis and Tex see the team taking shape. The Packers seem to have about 45 spots locked in on their roster, but the other eight or so spots are very much in flux. Justis Mosqueda and Evan “Tex” Western have each compiled their own 53s for the Packers, trying to predict what Brian Gutekunst and his staff will do before 4:00 PM Eastern on Tuesday. With the Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFL set to lock in their initial 53-man rosters on Tuesday, it’s time for one last prediction.
