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'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.

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.

If you look at it from the "Oh Shit, if we lose XYZ we'd have to bring back Ahmad Carrol" perspective (no depth) it is a completely different list. The D-line (esp. harrel) and CBs scare the heck out of me, so Rodgers along with every DL/CB starter would top my list.

1. Clifton
2. Tauscher
3. Rodgers
4. Woodson
5. Collins
6. Williams
7. Grant
8-10...Finley/Jennings/Driver

We saw last year what happened to AR without Clifton/Tauscher, That is why I put them at the top. Looks like we have much better depth this year on the O-line, but I'm hoping we don't have to find out anytime soon.

3-7 pretty self-explanatory, too much drop off between them and backups.

I put Grant at #8, the guys not flashy, but he has proven he will get the tough yards and more importantly, protects the football.

8-10...hope we don't lose any of these guys for an extended period, but Packers have proven talent behind each of them.

It will hurt to lose other starters but the loss can be overcome to some degree or another. If they lose Aaron the season is over. (No disrespect to Flynn intended.)

10. Tauscher
9. Clifton
8. Jennings
7. Jenkins
6. Finley
5. Collins
4. Grant
3. Matthews
2. Woodson
1. Rodgers

Rodgers and Woodson are pretty self-explanatory.

Losing Matthews scares me, as the Packers look like they would have little to no pass rush without him.

Brandon Jackson hasn't shown enough to make me confident that he could start at RB for any protracted period of time, so the loss of Grant would be scary.

The Packers have little depth at safety, so Collins makes the list, especially with Bigby on the PUP list.

Finley is so far above Donald Lee in terms of production it would be a massive loss to lose him

Jenkins is the one D-lineman who has some rush potential so losing him would be a big loss.

Jennings is the Packers one elite receiver, the drop off from him to the still relateively unproven (as starters) Jones and Nelson would be significant.

Even with Bulaga I wouldn't like to see Clifton go down, I think the former could be an adequate replacement, but he's a still a rookie. Tauscher makes the list because the Packers can't be sure about what they have in T.J. Lang (after missing some of the offseason workouts) who is his likely back-up.

You're right, our O-line was pretty horrible without them, but seeing that you think that Clifton and Tauscher are more important, do you think that

Clifton - Colledge - Wells - Sitton - Tauscher with Flynn at QB would be better than

Bulaga - Colledge - Wells - Sitton - Lang with Rodgers at QB?

1.) Rodgers
2.) Woodson
3.) Tramon Williams
4.) Collins
5.) Mathews
6.) Jenkins
7.) Tauscher
8.) Clifton
9.) Pickett/Raji (either or)
10.) Finley

Honorable mention to Jennings, Burnett, and B-jax.

I mostly picked positions where we had weak depth, the secondary, our two pass rushers, OT, and DT. While guys like Jennings and Finley are incredibly talented, we have depth behind them to atleast stay respectable at the position if we lose either.

beast (5h) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
