Aaron Rodgers said the Packers were screwed when they didn't have someone who could stretch the field when Jordy Nelson went down and it limited their playbook. That (among other things) has me going with nine spots between running back and wide receiver and these seven being virtual locks.

RB: Eddie Lacy, James Starks
WR: Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Ty Montgomery, Davante Adams, Trevor Davis

That leaves RB John Crockett, WR Jared Abberderis and WR Jeff Janis to battle it out for two positions.

Both Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery fit the bill of prototypical 3rd down back better than Eddie Lacy, James Starks and John Crockett. I also believe Crockett has the best chance of the three to be stashed away on the practice squad. I think Abberderis or Janis get plucked.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers keep two running backs and seven receivers and deploying more receiver out of backfield plays.

Can you guarantee that one or both RB won't be injured and miss games?
They need 3 RBs plus one stashed on the PS.

If one of the other 2 is going to miss a game then bring the PS guy up. Don't keep an inferior player on the 53 just to hit some arbitrary number for the position.
