WR3 is still a massive question for Minnesota but other than that the offense looks to be pretty set. I would expect Irv Smith Jr. to dethrone Kyle Rudolph this year and start as TE1.

The Lions offense, is surprisingly stacked. It has fairly decent depth as well. Of course the offensive line could be a real issue for them but still I would argue this is the best offense in the NFC North. Walker Kelly, a fantastic Lions draft writer, seems to think Danny Amendola is the WR3 I honestly thought Amendola looked washed at the end of last year. Not that Geronimo Allison is a massive improvement.

The one big question is TE. Sure you could say Jimmy Graham but I just don’t see him winning in camp in any way shape or form, he’s bad. The rookie makes the most sense.
Green Bay Packers

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB1 Aaron Jones
RB2 AJ Dillon
WR1 Devante Adams
WR2 Devin Funchess
WR3 Allen Lazard
TE Marcedes Lewis— Eric Jensen (Wears a mask bc he loves 🏈) (@Eric18utah) May 7, 2020
As predicted, the WR core looks weak. TE could be a more open competition Jace Sternberger is also worth taking a look at. Jamaal Williams probably splits RB2 time with AJ Dillon but you don’t draft RBs in the second round to red shirt them so I would imagine Dillon sees playing time in 2020.
Also if you were curious. After completing the NFC segment of this exercise my top ten NFC offenses going into 2020.
After all NFC projected skills starters out my top ten NFC offenses.
