Packer Defensive Roster Analysis: 2019 vs 2020

[CheezWizHed]

This chart shows my presumed starters for 2020 and the equivalent person last year in (parenthesis). Note that some times people moved up in the "role" so they don't replace themselves (i.e. Sullivan replacing Williams at Nickel CB). But I tried to slot in people where I'm guessing their approximate amount of snaps will be this year and rated what I think their increase or decrease in performance from the person doing that last year, which is often themselves.

A little more breakdown on each:

NT: Kenny Clark takes another step up in his play.

DE: Keke plays better than an out of position Lancaster.

OLB: Smith Brothers played so well, some regression is to be expected.

ILB: Kirksey can match Martinez if he stays healthy. Martin is a notch above Goodson.

CB: King regresses while Jaire steps up. Chandon can't quite fill Williams shoes (he played incredible).

S: Amos meshes better with another year in the system and Savage makes a second year jump.
