Top 10 Best Green Bay Packers Players Going Into the 2019 Season

Expectations were high for the Packers going into the 2018 season, but after an Aaron Rodgers injury, nothing was the same. They stumbled to a 6-9-1 record and fired longtime head coach Mike McCarthy. Now, looking ahead to 2019, who are their best players? Here, we are looking at the top ten best Green Bay Packers players going into the 2019 season
The Top Ten
1 Aaron Rodgers Aaron Charles Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Maybe I'm not good at analyzing running backs, but Aaron Jones does not seem like the future of the Packers' running game. I think they should have kept Montgomery. But then again, I'm a Vikings fan, not a Packers fan, so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about.

Again, Aaron tops this year's list. Despite a down year in 2018, he still had three big comebacks, set an NFL record, and made the Pro Bowl. I think General Manager Brian Gutekunst has done a great job building around him so far.

2 Davante Adams Davante Lavell Adams is an American football wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Adams is a top five receiver in the NFL, yet he is still underrated. Last season, he had over 1,300 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. If he had played in Week 17, he would have set a franchise receiving record. He is Green Bay's clear-cut number one receiver for 2019 and beyond.

The only thing is, Rodgers can't just throw to Adams, and the Packers got rid of their number 2 guy, Cobb. So, when Adams is covered, who will be the next quality wide receiver? This is an honest question because Adams is the only WR I can name on the Packers. Is Allison still around?

3 David Bakhtiari

The All-Pro team is decided solely on votes from AP writers. Casual NFL fans, as you call them, do vote for the Pro-Bowl players, but their votes only count for 1/3 of the mix. NFL players and coaches make up the rest of these votes, which is 66.7% of the votes. So, it is your contention that the lack of sophistication of the casual NFL fan has denied Bakhtiari a spot in the Pro-Bowl, when clearly it's the NFL players and coaches who carry the lion's share of the votes. Maybe it's you who is the casual NFL fan. I believe most people outside of Wisconsin would see the simple logic here. Who would you believe has a better insight into player grades, NFL players and coaches or AP writers?

Incidentally, I cannot find any write-up, mock-up, or any list where Bakhtiari is listed as the best left tackle in the game, other than that All-Pro selection. Apparently, the writers cannot even come to a consensus. Bakhtiari is a very good player, but it's not like he's Joe Thomas. He gets beat on a regular basis. Your evaluation of him seems like wishful thinking. Or better still, maybe the left tackle position has lost some of its importance in today's NFL because many teams move their best edge rushers around, not just lining up across from the left tackle. It's just another in a long line of defensive adjustments made league-wide to combat rule changes designed to benefit the passing game.

Now, let's talk about the Packers. Do you believe the Packers are on the cusp of another glorious season? Will all the snap signings of free agents on defense and the drafting of Gary and Savage Jr. turn the Packers' defense around? It may happen, but keep in mind that if half of the free agent signings work out, I would consider that a win. Has Rodgers lost any of the elusiveness that made him so good for so long? Many casual NFL fans, including myself, believe he has. The Packers have become, at best, a second-tier team, regularly being beaten by the good teams. And here come... more

4 Kenny Clark

Clark is amazing and has lived up to his first-round status in 2016. He had 6 sacks and 55 tackles in 2018. I feel that in 2019, Clark can finally get his first Pro Bowl nod, as he had a Pro Bowl-caliber season in 2018.

5 Aaron Jones

Maybe I'm not good at analyzing running backs, but Aaron Jones does not seem like the future of the Packers' running game. I think they should have kept Montgomery. But then again, I'm a Vikings fan, not a Packers fan, so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about.

Jones was not utilized enough under Mike McCarthy but I expect that to change under first-year head coach Matt LaFleur. He led the NFL in yards per carry in 2018 and also became a receiving threat. I think Jones could have over 1,000 yards rushing in 2019.

6 Jaire Alexander

Alexander really became one of Green Bay's best defenders in his rookie season in 2018. He had one interception and a career-best game against the Rams, where he terrorized Jared Goff and Brandin Cooks. He has a bright future ahead of him.

7 Blake Martinez

After finishing in a three-way tie for the NFL lead in tackles in 2017, Blake Martinez finished second in the NFL in tackles in 2018, behind Colts rookie Darius Leonard. He still has not gotten the recognition he deserves, and I expect yet another huge season for him in 2019.

8 Corey Linsley

It may seem surprising to some that Linsley is on here, but he has been one of the NFL's best centers for the last two years. He has not missed a snap since 2016 and was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2018. I expect him to keep the Packers' offensive line intact in 2019.

9 Adrian Amos

One of the Packers' four major free agency signings, Amos came in from the NFL's best defense in 2018 with the Chicago Bears. After being a top NFL safety in 2018, Amos looks to keep that up in 2019. For once, the Packers have a safety who is not afraid to tackle.

10 Geronimo Allison

Allison started out as a practice squad undrafted free agent in 2016, had a limited role in 2017, and was on pace for 1,000 yards receiving in 2018 before a season-ending groin injury. He currently stands as Green Bay's #2 wide receiver behind Davante Adams. Pending any injury, I expect Allison to dominate in 2019.
