No one WR/TE is extremely important. I think if you take out Jennings or Finley, Rodgers can still throw for 4000+ yards and 25+ TDs easily.
I think Matthews is our only elite or near elite pass rusher, so he comes in second for me. I think Jenkins is the best pass rusher on the line so he comes in third. Losing either of these guys has a huge impact on us getting to the QB, IMO.
Then after that it is the two Pro Bowl guys in the secondary.
I can understand putting Matthews second given how very questionable the rest of the linebackers are as pass rushers, but i think we could clearly survive better if we lost Jenkins compared to losing either Woodson or Collins.
With Harris potentially heading for the PUP list, you take Woodson from the team, we could be looking at our starting corners being Williams and who knows right now given the struggles of both Underwood and Lee. Man that would be ugly. At safety, if Collins was removed, we'd be starting a rookie safety and probably Martin. An equally terrifying thought to losing Woodson.
Obviously the one guy we can least afford to get a significant injury is Rodgers. That said, our depth looks so poor right now at OLB, CB, and S that an injury to any of Woodson, Matthews, and Collins would likely be devastating.
