Despite their apparent differences of opinion http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jamaal-williams-jersey , neither party took public shots at the other in post-firing interviews."Curiosity was stirred this week when ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported a question-and-answer story was being released about his recent sit-down with Mike McCarthy, the first since his firing from the Green Bay Packers. Would the former coach blast Aaron Rodgers? Would he criticize Mark Murphy and Brian Gutekunst? What in the world is he doing now that he has a year to himself?I’ll let Rob tell his story, but one thing McCarthy did not do was personally attack Rodgers and spark further controversy. But it is interesting that the two parties had each other’s backs as much as possible in their divorce, even in light of Thursday’s explosive story from Tyler Dunne at Bleacher Report. In the middle of draft observations, the Rodgers-McCarthy relationship headlines my Friday musings.Tension or not, both Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers took the high road in their interviews in the aftermath of McCarthy’s firing.We may never know just how much disagreement or animosity there was between McCarthy and Rodgers during the final years of their partnership. There was certainly plenty of speculation about it and hints of frustration particularly in Rodgers’ post-game interviews over the past two years. But it was telling of the respect each highly-successful individual had for the other in the way they handled questions about the other after McCarthy was let go.Shutting down the tension rumors in the wake of the firing, Rodgers noted the “mutual respect and communication” the two parties had in their memorable runs and their “friendship” off the field. Likewise, McCarthy used the words “rewarding,” “fun,” and “challenging” to describe what it was like to coach Rodgers in his recent sit-down with ESPN. Although McCarthy did say that some things “stay on the sidelines” and that there are going to be frustrating times in any long-term relationship, he gave little inclination that there was any feud between him and his quarterback. In fact, he seemed to relish the opportunity to get to know Rodgers personally.PR move or not Womens Kyler Fackrell Jersey , Rodgers and McCarthy refrained from criticizing the other after their separation. Unless something changes down the road, the two handled their disagreements with relative professionalism (and some passive aggression).Will last year’s increase in centers in the top 50 picks reoccur and help Green Bay?The Packers are in a position where center is not a priority. Starter Corey Linsley has two years remaining on the contract extension he signed in 2017 and Lucas Patrick has shown signs of being a capable fill-in if needed. While offensive tackle and even guard could be addressed in the first two days of the draft, center is not likely.However, that could be a benefit to the Packers, who own three selections in the top 44 picks. In 2018, three centers were selected in that range - Frank Ragnow (20th), Billy Price (21st), and James Daniels (39th). While Daniels was a name mentioned prior to the draft as a potential first-round pick, Ragnow and Price went much higher than the national media predicted. For a team like the Packers, a run on centers, much like quarterbacks, would help keep talented prospects at other positions on the board longer.The 2019 NFL Draft could offer Green Bay that chance. Garrett Bradbury of NC State has been a popular first-round name in mock drafts since the NFL Combine Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , but Mississippi State’s Elgton Jenkins and Texas A&M’s Erik McCoy could enter the top-50 parade as well. If that happens, it would be a win for the Packers.Can Green Bay capitalize on its two-trade, first-round maneuvering in the 2018 NFL Draft?Essentially, the Packers traded a third-round pick in the 2018 draft for a chance to cash in with a first-round pick in 2019. Of course, Green Bay swapped first-round selections with New Orleans to additionally gain the Saints’ first selection in 2019. But often forgotten is that the Packers sacrificed a third-round pick to move up with Seattle and get their man in Jaire Alexander.On the surface level, that swap would be appear to be a bargain, even if it is the 30th overall selection. But the opportunity cost of gaining a first-round lottery ticket was a potential immediate contributor last season. Although the Packers ultimately traded back into the third round to take Oren Burks, Green Bay gave up an early-round prospect in 2018. Now, it’s up to Brian Gutekunst and company to identify not just a contributor, but a high-ceiling impact player to make it worth the wait. This handful of players will have something extra to prove in training camp if they want to be members of the 53-man roster in 2019." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShareFour Packers on the roster bubble following the 2019 NFL DraftPhoto by Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesIn last week’s Friday musings, it was noted that Montravius Adams could be one veteran on the Green Bay Packers with a roster spot at stake in the wake of the team’s latest NFL Draft haul. Adams has battled injuries over the course of his two seasons with the Packers since being drafted in the third round in 2017, but he has also had difficulty cracking the defensive line rotation even when fully healthy. With Kingsley Keke joining the Green Bay defensive line this upcoming season after being drafted in the fifth round a couple of weeks ago Womens Kyle Murphy Jersey , Adams will have his work cut out for him to maintain his status as a member of the 53-man roster.But with the NFL Draft in the rear-view mirror, there are several other Packers who will need to impress in the offseason and training camp activities to earn another roster nod in 2019. Here are a few of them.Josh JonesAnytime an NFL franchise trades up in the first round to select a safety, the incumbent starter on the roster has reason to look over his shoulder. When a high draft choice is coupled with a significant free agent addition at the other safety spot, the incumbent’s overall roster spot is in jeopardy. The writing may be on the wall for Jones, a second-round pick in 2017, who has struggled to carve out a defined role on the Packers’ defense. Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine could continue to be creative with Jones this training camp, using Jones as a linebacker, or he could play Jones at his more natural safety position. Either way, it’s an important offseason for the third-year Jones, who has disappointed when playing each of those roles up to this point. While he may be an effective depth piece at safety, something Green Bay did not have much of last season due to early-season injuries, Jones will battle Raven Greene and the Packers’ annual undrafted safety that emerges in preseason action.Cole MadisonWait Womens Za'Darius Smith Jersey , he just got back! Madison’s absence last season as a rookie was felt along an offensive line that may have employed him at the starting right guard position by season’s end. Instead, the Packers journeyed through an underwhelming rotation of Byron Bell and Justin McCray. Madison could surely be the versatile tackle-guard option the Packers covet if he can get back up to playing speed.But that is a big “if.” Spending a second-round draft choice on Elgton Jenkins provided the team with a long-term guard option and interior plug-and-play piece. The numbers may be tight among an offensive line and Madison could be an odd man out if it becomes apparent he cannot play tackle in a pinch. It’s too early to tell what Madison’s future in Green Bay is, but he has a lot to prove in quick order.Robert TonyanOne would be hard-pressed to find someone who did not approve of the Packers’ decision to draft Jace Sternberger in the third round this April. The team has been searching for a viable pass-catching tight end weapon since the days of Jermichael Finley, and Sternberger has far from reached his ceiling as a one-year stalwart at Texas A&M in Jimbo Fisher’s offensive system.However, Sternberger’s addition could spell bad news for last year’s undrafted holdover Tonyan, who showed flashes as a receiver in minimal opportunities. It is not uncommon for Green Bay to keep more than three tight ends on the final roster, especially for a player with the developmental potential of Tonyan. But if Jimmy Graham, Marcedes Lewis, and Sternberger lock up roster spots, Tonyan could be on the outside looking in depending on the numbers at other positions.Mason CrosbyCould the Packers’ long-time kicker actually be at risk of losing his spot on the team? Not likely.But it’s more than just a bit curious that Green Bay has shown interest in outside kickers this offseason. In mid-April the Packers signed Sam Ficken, a kicker that Matt LaFleur knew from his time in Los Angeles. Far from proven, Ficken has been somewhat of an NFL journeyman during his short time in the league Bart Starr Jersey , bouncing around five NFL teams since entering the league in 2015. But the signing of Ficken, as well as a tryout offered to undrafted LSU hopeful Cole Tracy following the draft, seemed to signal an increased interest in the kicking position.While Crosby had another relatively consistent season for Green Bay last year, he is 34 years old and entering his 13th season in the league. A disastrous performance in Detroit, on top of crucial late-game misses against Minnesota and Arizona in 2018, give some reason to question his job security. During final cuts, the kicking position may be one to closely monitor.
