The only other year 2 player I would add is Allen Lazard. And I think he could bump Jenkins for the 5 spot.

Agree with your assessment Bilbo “Nag”ins.
If all of those players including Hollman have a big second year jump, the 2019 NFL draft will be a huge one for the Packers! I'm counting on EQ (as a second year guy since he was injured) I think he will come up BIG in 2020!
I am also looking for third year jumps from Lazard, Sullivan and let’s hope BIG Bob Tonyan finally puts it together.
Carry the "G" baby! Go Pack!

TE is one of the most difficult positions to transition to in football. They have to block like an OL and catch like a WR. Tonyan was raw and Jimmy Graham ate up the targets. When healthy and targetted Tonyan demonstarted decent blocking skills & good hands.
Without Graham I expect to see a jump from Lewis, Sternberger, and Tonyan. Graham is who was a square peg in a round hole. Gute paid him like the pkayer he was in New Orleans and not the shell of a man he showed himself to be in Seattle. Hopefully Gute has learned from this.
The good news is Chicago released Buron and made Gute's same mistake and overpaid Graham. Never change Bears, never change. Can't wait to see the TE position in 2020. Especially with the way MLF uses them. Assuming Aaron Rodgers buys in to the system.

Possibly Bolton & Nijman will make major improvements.

Can't argue with this list and like nostradanus I'm really looking for EQ to make a jump as well. I also love the fact Aaron game Kadar Hollman some love and mentioned him too.
EQ has good speed and size and IMO will blow right by MVS on the depth chart. He ran a 4.48 40 at the combine AND did 20 reps on the bench so he's got the size AND speed. I think EQ was part of the reason Gute ignored the WR position in this draft. EQ and Sternberger are 2 of my biggest 2nd year jump guys.
I still believe more than anything else Savage hit the rookie wall. Whether the ankle injury hurt him that much or not, I think playing in 22 games overall plus OTA's and TC was big reason why his play declined a bit towards the end of the year. From playing in 11 or 12 games to playing in 22 games is huge. Especially when EVERYONE is talented.
Dude...Jenkins is just a stud and going to be one of the best at Guard or Center in the NFL for the next 10 years. IF the Packers decided to move him to Center in 2021 or just keep him at Guard, Jenkins will be a beast at any interior position.

MVS is a great track star, okay WR.
EQ is a good WR, and a good all-around athlete. There aren't a ton of guys with his combination of physical atttributes.
I agree, ESB has a better chance to become a good NFL WR than MVS. I like him quite a bit. Hoping for the best.

Excellent take Oppy... I keep going back to that game in 2018 against the Jets. EQ had a nice game and hung onto that pass on the sidelines despite a cheap shot by the Jets DB. I really liked him coming out and think we have something...As long as he's putting in the work in the offseason.
