Our first round pick will be at a position of strength, amidst much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Packer faithful.

A pick I feel confident will be vindicated in a season or two.
We will (gulp) draft a punter.

I just don't see this happening. We have two punters on the roster already (one on the practice squad). I do remember watching one punter (can't remember his name) booting it consistently over 55 yards in the bowls, including one 68-yard punt, but I don't know if he's entering the draft.
Cliffy will be released and Tauscher will leave during free agency. Our Week 1 offensive line will be Colledge, Sitton, Spitz, Barbe and Giacomini.

Interesting. You don't think we'll draft any starting-caliber offensive linemen?
6 ) Mike McCarthy will open the offense up a little, and Aaron Rodgers will finish in the top 5 in most categories.

I think Rodgers will finish in the top 5 whether or not McCarthy opens up the offense. I don't see Brees repeating his 5000-yard performance, and it's looking like Brady won't be on the field when Week 1 rolls around.
James Jones will emerge as one of the best #3 receivers in the league.

This remains to be seen. I'm leery of the stability of his knee, which he refused to have surgically repaired this season. A torn PCL affects the stability of the knee, and recovery can take over 12 months, even when you don't attempt to play on it, as Jones did several times this season. I think he has the potential, certainly, provided his knee holds up.
Someone will make Ted Thompson an offer he can't refuse, and Al Harris will be traded.

I think you're right, but I'm guessing it will be a late trade, possibly some time during training camp, after a key player (on the other team) has gone down with injury.
