Nags- The entire universe shows up for Packer games. In fact, NASA intercepted some sort of transmission from the Andromeda Galaxy that was roughly translated as say, " The Bears still suck". Only could confirm a 60% translation accuracy, but we all know better! GPG!

Highly paid all stars Rodgers, Bakteira, Crosby and Devante Adams all had one big knock against them.
They were not like some of our high draft picks. In spite of this “flaw”, they all did well. Our GM and coaches probably are not aware of this problem. It seems our best players are NOT versatile?
GB takes fresh young rookies and tries to train them for multiple positions and then are so proud that by the second half of their contract year they are finally up to speed at several positions.
That’s right, drafting High RAS and out of position talent seems to have many of our high picks on training wheels for too long. The system might work in noncap keeper leagues but it is a bad method for NFL teams.
We do not benefit from the low rookie contracts and need higher priced veterans to play the games while our rookies are studying multiple positions.

Counterpoint: develop talent to excel at one position. Once that's achieved, branch out into learning more roles.
Either way your observation is valid, and exposes a flaw the league will exploit if it's not corrected.
Nowhere else is this so clearly evident as with Zach Tom, projected to be #6 and fill in everywhere. If you suit up 10 0 linemen, for the love of God let them concentrate on their position and develop the whole group.
