This is more what I want than what I think they'll do.


QB: Rodgers, Flynn (Harrell on practice squad) Mike McCarthy wants to keep all 3 QBs but depth is hard and I think Harrell can be placed on the practice squad, if he passes through waivers. I haven't seen much that says "grab me" for other teams to suddenly become interested in him and put him on their 53 man roster when they didn't last year.

WR: Jennings, Driver, Jones, Nelson, Cobb, Gurley (Borel on practice squad)
I think West and/or Gurley should have a spot on the team as they've played pretty well. I think West might be higher with the coaches but I went with Gurly because of what I think his potential could be. West got a year under his belt while Gurly has showed up as an UDFA even with the lockout setting back his time with the team. Not sure who's better on STs... West might be able to cover units while Gurley might be able to block (on the outside) and block punts. West and/or Gurly gets claimed by another team if they get cut.

TE: Finley, Quarless, Williams, Taylor, Crabtree
Being realist 5 TEs probably isn't going to happen, and the spot is probably going to FB Johnson. But the 5 TEs might be in the top 53 in what they have shown... I don't know who's the 5th TE but I'm thinking cut Crabtree if they cut one.

RB/FB: Grant, Starks, Green, Kuhn (Saine on practice squad)
Like I said above I think Johnson will get that 5th TE spot though I'm not sure he deserves it. Johnson is kept as a pounder on short yardage and redzone as well as an option if Kuhn comes down.

OL: Clifton, Lang, Wells, Sitton, Bulaga, Sherrod, Newhouse, McDonald, Dominguez (Schlauderaff on practice squad)
I think the top 7 OL is locked in and two spots are up for grabs. I think McDonald showed the most potential for the rest but also shown very bad mental errors so he could be #8 or cut for Dietrich-Smith. Even if McDonald makes it, Dietrich-Smith has a shot at the other position but I choose Dominguez again because of potential.


DL: Raji, Pickett, Neal, Wilson, Green, Wynn (Guy on practice squad)
I think Guy got banged up a bit too much to be kept but it's close. Also I'd like to keep an eye on DL Joseph because I think injuries held him back... if he gets healthy maybe we can give him another shot at the practice squad and coach him up some.

OLB: Matthews, Walden, Zombo, So'oto, Lattimore
Coach Greene made a commit that made it sound like they're gonna try to stick Zombo on the 53 man roster and try to let him get healthy for this season. Not a big fan of cutting Jones but from what I've read Lattimore was playing on higher ST than Jones and has shown more pass rush and looked decent in coverage.

ILB: Bishop, Hawk, Smith (Joseph on practice squad)
I don't think a 4th ILB has stepped it up enough to make the roster. Joseph has shown some potential so I'd be interested in seeing more of him.)

S: Collins, Burnett, Pepreh, ? ( ? on practice squad)
I think they'll keep a 4th S... I'm just not sure who... if could also be Bush from CB which would could save a roster spot for another position but I don't think they'd prefer it be Bush. I don't like it but I'm not counting out Underwood. I think I'd prefer taking a risk on one of the kid with potential and keep a second one on the practice squad. Also one of these three (Levine/ Jennings/ Bratton) will be on the practice squad.

CB: Woodson, Williams, Shields, House, Bush, Lee
Bush and Lee make it because ST reasons and the other CB didn't step up and out play them.

STs: Crosby, Masthay, Goode

Just for numbers, would make sense to drop a TE for an ILB.

---

I agree... 5 TEs with 6 WRs isn't gonna happen... one of them would be dropped down one (probably TE) and it would be added to QB, FB, DE or ILB.

As far as ILB... it's just I haven't been impressed with any of the back-ups other than Smith and Joseph... and I don't think Joseph is ready yet... but like his future potential and think we could slip him onto the practice squad.

---

I think mine was pretty close.

I had wrong C McDonald, G Dominguez and WR Gurley

They had C Dietrich-Smith, LB Jones and LB Francois


Dietrich-Smith choice: They went with the safe choice at C. While I wanted to take a risk on potential.

Jones choice: I thought they go with 9 OL for numbers. But I like that they found a smart and good way to keep the OLBers.

Francois: I'm still not sure Francois deserves a spot more than WRs Gurley and West.

Good job. I missed out on 4. One of them a gamble on Zombo going to IR just to be different.
