Prediction

If there is one constant with roster cutdowns, it is that they are often full of surprises. Below is my shot at a final roster (which is sure to look silly in just a few weeks).

QB: Rodgers, Tolzien, Hundley
RB: Lacy, Starks, Neal
FB: Kuhn, Ripkowski
WR: Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Montgomery, Janis, Abbrederis
TE: Rodgers, Quarless, Backman
OL: Bakhtiari, Bulaga, Sitton, Lang, Linsley, Barclay, Tretter, Rotheram

DL: Raji, Guion, Pennel, Boyd, Daniels, Jones, Ringo
ILB: Matthews, Barrington, Ryan, Bradford
OLB: Peppers, Perry, Neal, Elliot, Hubbard
CB: Shields, Hayward, Randall, Rollins, Hyde
S: Clinton-Dix, Burnett, Richardson, Banjo

ST: Crosby, Mathsay, Goode

I think this is a pretty solid list. Though I'm doubting Ringo as I just didn't see it in college film. I see the good motor and the pass rush but he got pushed around a lot in the running game. And I think it'll be CB Gunter over S Banjo with Hyde being at S still.

Also with Abbrederis injuries he looks less likely. And I'm still not sold on Hundley as I still haven't yet read of any report of looking decent or flashing much potential yet... I'm thinking he could be in a battle for one of the last 3 spots... with the possibility of him getting cut and signed to the practice squad if he doesn't show potential.

Interesting lists. I think Nate Palmer has a strong chance to make the team. To me Bradford is Brad Jones 2.0. Great pick for where he was taken, has some versatility, but I think Palmer and some of these other guys have higher ceilings.

If he can take that pure potential and put it on the field at an NFL level he could become a starter (not saying he will as he was very very raw) but he could become a very good role player.

Janis will be pushed by some of these UDFAs like Pinkard and Coxson. These guys are real route runners with footballs skills, not just glorified track guys.

There's alot of Starks hate around here, but dude has done nothing but get it done. Now with Lacy in front of him, he's been able to stay healthy too. I just don't see another RB sticking.

Teams know you NEED so much depth at RB and they need at least 3 guys that can do it. Kuhn is old, Rip never played RB and WRs can be a nice trick but they're not an up the middle threat which you need as a true RB. 3rd RB makes it IMO unless injuries happen... but they could trade or grab one from else where (Grant / Nance) but there will be a 3rd one... my guess is Rajion Neal as I think his potential is a lot better than you think (IF he can stay healthy).

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
