Ranking the Room: NFC North Guards

3. Green Bay Packers: Lane Taylor, Justin McCray, Cole Madison, Kofi Amichia

The Packers guard duo is not much stronger as of this point. Lane Taylor is a solid starter. He brings consistency and is not much of an injury risk. Last year, he graded out as an average guard.

However, the rest of the depth does bring this group down closer to Vikings territory. McCray has bounced around the league but just last year earned a starting spot at guard. He only started eight games, and was not great there, though. He is only 25 and has room to grow, but so far he cannot be a trusted starter.

Cole Madison is a rookie this season from Washington State. He is a plus athlete and despite a fifth-round selection, he will have the chance to compete for a starting job. Amichia was a sixth-round pick who spent most of his season on the practice squad.

The Packers are hoping to see a step forward from Amichia this season. However, across from Taylor, it is fair to say there is an open competition and low expectations on the other side.
