Since there are lots of threads going on about the bottom part of the roster, I thought I'd start one about the top part.

So, who are the most important players on the roster, the ones that if they are lost, the team is in deep doo-doo.

Here's mine:

10. Tauscher.
9. Finley
8. Jennings/Driver.
7. T. Williams
6. Sitton.
5. Jenkins.
4. Pickett
3. Collins.
2. Woodson.
1. Rodgers.

I'd have Finley higher, and swap matthews for sitton, mainly because our pressure up front has been a ? for a while, and imagine what our sack situation/QB pressures would have been like w/o Clay last year.

10. Jermichael Finley
9. Nick Barnett
8. Greg Jennings
7. Josh Sitton (Low positional value, but one of our best players)
6. Ryan Pickett
5. Clay Matthews (We need an OLB who can get some sort of pressure, so with lack of a better one)
4. Chad Clifton
3. Cullen Jenkins
2. Charles Woodson
1. Aaron Rodgers

I might very well have forgotten someone.

Btw, I like Ryan Grant, but except the elite ones, RBs are a dime a dozen, so positional value keeps him out.

I see u guys put pickett there in your list If he gets hurt we got some depth still if harrell stays healthy and we got neal and wilson who can contribute.

But he's the only proven guy we have at the most important position in the 3-4, the NT. He's also a starting DE and our primary back-up at NT. That's a pretty important player.

Wow, no Clay Matthews. Did you leave him off the list on purpose? And Josh Sitton is more important than Greg Jennings? Oh well, here's my own list:

1. Rodgers
2. Woodson
3. Matthews
4. Jennings
5. Collins
6. Finley
7. T. Williams
8. Jenkins
9. Pickett
10. Grant

Rodgers, Woodson, Mathews, Collins, Finley. Those are the crucial guys. Although we do have depth at TE now, so losing Finley wouldn't be a total disaster.

I'm a line guy. What can I say? That's probably the reason I left Matthews off.

The reason I put Jennings down the list farther than Sitton was that we have a lot of receiving threats. (I actually almost left Jennings/Driver off the list entirely). We don't have a lot of interior linemen that I'm comfortable with. And if we have a hole in the middle of the line, we risk a hole at #1 on the list.

Clifton and Tauscher HAVE to be on that list. You lose them, you lose Rodger's main protectors. That spells DOOM in my view.
Rodgers
Woodson
Jennings
Driver
Finley
Collins
Matthews
Favre

I really can't see leaving Matthews off the list, because he's our only big-time pass rusher. I don't agree with you on Sitton/Jennings, either, but I see where you're coming from on that one.

It was kind of a hard list to put together because players make the list for two different reasons: because they are playmakers (Matthews, Jennings, Finley) or because their backups are clearly not ready to start (T. Williams, Collins). Obviously I put more value on playmakers than you do. Jennings, for example, really stretches the field for our offense. He's had more receptions of 40 yards plus than anyone else in the league during the last three years.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (1h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (1h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (1h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (1h) : Can't make him play.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (2h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (3h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (3h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (3h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (3h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (3h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (10h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (12h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (13h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (15h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (18h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (19h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (20h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
