Moving on from the heartbreaking result in last year's Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears isn't easy, but the Green Bay Packers contain a roster worthy of winning the Super Bowl. Led by Jordan Love offensively and Micah Parsons on the other side of the ball, Green Bay is expected to be one of the best all-around squads in the league this season (when healthy). Parsons should return sometime in October , according to reports.

The offensive line will be very important to manage this season. Last year, there were some failed experiments involving Anthony Belton as a swing tackle. Now that he has settled in at right guard, he could turn into a breakout candidate for the Packers. ESPN's Ben Solak breaks down why Belton's success is something the Packers "desperately need" on the offensive line.
"Now that the Packers have finished experimenting with Belton as a swing tackle and committed to playing him at right guard, I see a rosy future. Sure, Belton's play was largely up and down when he was in the lineup at guard as a rookie, but that was expected because he was a college left tackle and didn't really practice on the interior until the regular season. I'm willing to wash most of that down the drain."

"Belton has the size, flexibility and power to be a defining force in the running game — something the Packers desperately need, as they typically run the ball from shotgun and need big-time vertical displacement. Aaron Banks , who was a free agent disappointment in Year 1, was supposed to be that linchpin player. With a full offseason of prep, I believe it can be Belton instead."

Belton should be joined by Zach Tom , Sean Rhyan , Aaron Banks, and Jordan Morgan among the starting core.
