Cheese Curds, 2/16: Packers’ needs start with safety, but what follows?

As of this moment, safety is squarely atop the list of roster needs for the Green Bay Packers. The franchise has just one safety with more than 100 career defensive snaps under contract for 2024, that being rookie Anthony Johnson, Jr., and Jeff Hafley’s defensive scheme will rely heavily on a deep single safety.

But beyond that position group, debates are raging about what else the Packers desperately need. Do they need boundary cornerbacks despite the presence of Jaire Alexander, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes? What about linebackers, with the 4-3 scheme requiring more bodies and with De’Vondre Campbell taking a major step back in 2023?
