Commenting who I think is on this list before I watch. 1. Christian Watson (Injury concerns being the main reason. Can he stay healthy at least MOST of the season?) 2. Eric Stokes (Again - Injury concerns) 3. Anders Carlson (Obviously didn't have a stellar rookie season by any means. Can he perform way better this season?) 4. Josh Myers (Hasn't lived up to his draft selection honestly. He's got to beat out the rookie Monk firstly, but also has to perform amazingly to get extended/new contract. He played better at the tail end of the season but need him to really take that next step and be an anchor on that Oline this year.) Honorable mention: AJ Dillion (A fan favorite obviously, but again hasn't lived up to that 2nd round draft selection. He looks leaner and meaner than he has previously, but it's really his job to lose. He's got to produce this year every chance he gets. If he does, I'd imagine they extend or give him a new contract as RB2 or FB1, obviously fullback isn't the premier position it once was, and we haven't had a player worth keeping as FB since John Kuhn.) I'm sure there are other players I could mention like a Sean Rhyan but honestly, we haven't gotten to see what he's capable of yet. You could even mention Jlove to a degree. Can he perform like he did the last half of the season all season long and show he's taken that step to be QB1 and worth the 55-60M+/yr contract he's fixing to get? Absolutely stoked (pun intended) for this season and to see what this offense and Defense are truly capable of. I'm not sure which I'm more hyped about though, getting to see year 2 of this offense with Jlove? or to see if this Defense is finally capable of performing with all the draft capital, we've invested in it over the years and if we finally have an aggressive D-Cord. that we've been screaming for all these years.

I got tickets to the family night. Flying out from Washington State for it, so excited.

love the vids bas!

Good list.

I love the watch parties that Bas shares

I had everyone but Keisean Nixon, simply because Nixon really doesn’t fall into the Bas definition, as it relates to this video. Sure Nixon could lose his job as the nickel, but I don’t think the Packers signed him to a 3 year contract to fill that role. They proved that when they drafted 4 DB’s, two of which (Bullard and King) could probably supplant Nixon right now. The guy I had in place of Nixon is Royce Newman. Newman is essentially out the door. The only question is if the Packers are ready to close it on him. Newman’s contract and play point to the Packers moving on from him. Experience is the only thing I could see as a reason the Packers would keep Newman around, and I don’t think that is enough.

Before the video start I’m guessing Stokes Clark Myers and Carlson

I can't be the only one who thinks we didn't miss out on corner. Michelle had elite potential but was anyone else good enough to draft over what we have already? I liked Melton because he's explosive but Kool aid is slow and Arnold is a zone heavy player.

GO PACK GOOOOO!!!

Stokes is a beast believe me he got that dog in em and I can’t wait til he shows his talents

Bad luck with injuries has played a massive part in derailing a promising start to Eric Stokes career. Eric Stokes enjoyed a fruitful campaign that saw him finish with a team-high 14 pass breakups to go along with 1 interception and 55 tackles. Unfortunately, Eric Stokes was off to a slow start for his sophomore season and then suffered a Lisfranc foot injury that forced him to go on the injured reserve list for the rest of the season. After spending the entire 2023 offseason and the beginning of the regular season trying to get healthy, Eric Stokes finally returned to action for a week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos. His return lasted all of his 4 snaps on special teams before a hamstring injury sidelined him yet again. Eric Stokes tried to give it another go 2 months later but he re-joined the same hamstring, ending his season prematurely for the 2nd straight year in a row. During Eric Stokes absence, our 1st year corner, Carrington Valentine went from being a 7th-round depth piece to a reliable starter. Now that Eric Stokes is healthy, the Packers are tasked with figuring out who will line opposite of Jaire Alexander. Eric Stokes still has the upside of being a starter in Green Bay, but he must stay healthy while outperforming Carrington Valentine. The Green Bay Packers will likely give Eric Stokes every chance to be successful after making a hefty investment in him. Like Josh Meyers, Eric Stokes is also in the final year of his rookie contract. Green Bay declined Eric Stokes 5th-year option back in May, but he can also play his way into a new deal. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

Definitely agree with the Keisean Nixion, but like you said - I think he remains as a kick return specialist if he does have a bad year again as the nickel cornerback. Curious as to what your honorable mentions would've been though had you had any in the video. I was fairly close to what you thought as well, just slightly out of order with who I thought was a make-or-break year. I think all Packer fans would agree with the Eric Stokes, Josh Myers and AJ Dillion though - just players who haven't lived up to the draft capital spent on them or have been injury riddled since being in the league. I think AJ Dillion is going to be an absolute menace this year or he'll perform similar to like he did last year. I'd hate to see him go just because of his character and how much he loves GB and the team. Not many players are willing to take less to stay where they were drafted. I almost wonder if he'd take the vet minimum to stay on the Packers in future years as the FB if they offered it to him. I'm sure he would - because he's gone on record stating he'd be the long snapper if it meant he could stay in GB. Another lengthy comment and I could go on and on about the Packers. Loved the video, Bas. Keep up the great work.

Never shoulda taken Dillon over Jamaal Williams IMO.

Christian Watson

Slow news cycle huh!?

Stokes definitely on the hott seat 2021 first rounder from ga who played like maybe 1 full season has potential and is a speedster but he's always injured.

Watson Myers Stokes Carlson TJ Slayton

Aj Dillion is a terrible runner. Never seen a guy that big consistently go down on 1st contact. He had that 1 good year and got KOed in that postseason game and coughed up the ball. Hated that pick with a passion. We will see if injury riddled Josh with a bad hammie already can replace my man Jones. Rode him to a fantasy title.

My prediction: Dillon Stokes Myers (honorable mention) Carlson Watson
