Let the competition begin: Key battles on Packers' roster

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There was one word Brian Gutekunst used more than any other last weekend after each day of the draft: competition.

The Green Bay Packers' general manager said it six times after the final day alone.

His first-round pick, Jordan Morgan, will provide competition at tackle, which could have a trickle-down effect to other positions on the offensive line that include fifth-rounder Jacob Monk at center.

He drafted three safeties to battle it out for the starting spot next to Xavier McKinney, the blockbuster free agent signing.
