WTF Obiozor, Blackmon and Toribio? I don't understand...

Zombo showed more than Obi during preseason, which is why he made the team over him. Havner can theoretically be the 9th LB in a pinch. Pickett is Raji's backup at DT and won't play every down at DE, so no need to keep a 3rd NT on the 53-man roster.
Blackmon is a probably a bit surprising, but while the guy has shown flashes, he's been banged up several times over the course of his career in Green Bay and just can't seem to stay healthy. Roster sports are precious and you need to give it to guys who can stay on the field an contribute. I guess the big question now is who is going to return punts? Do they trade for someone or do they feel someone on the current roster can do it now?
Looks like Chery and Dillion didn't make it either, but either would be a good practice squad candidate. Swain probably has the 5th receiver spot locked down.
