Experience:
Rookies: 28
1st year: 9
2nd year: 14
3rd year: 14
4th year: 5
5th year: 6
6th year: 4
7th year: 5
8th year: 2
12th year: 1
14th year: 2
15th year: 1

This is a young roster (obviously part of that is all the UDFAs). Think about this, though: The 5th most experienced player is Aaron Rodgers (after Charles Woodson, Jeff Saturday, Donald Driver, & Ryan Pickett).

Acquired:
Drafted by the Packers: 38

1st round: 7 (Aaron Rodgers, A.J. Hawk, B.J. Raji, Clay Matthews, Bryan Bulaga, Derek Sherrod, Nick Perry)
2nd round: 6 (Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Mike Neal, Randall Cobb, Jerel Worthy, Casey Hayward)
3rd round: 4 (James Jones, Jermichael Finley, Morgan Burnett, Alex Green)
4th round: 5 (Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, Davon House, Mike Daniels, Jerron McMillian)
5th round: 4 (Andrew Quarless, Marshall Newhouse, D.J. Williams, Terrell Manning)
6th round: 5 (Desmond Bishop, Mason Crosby, Jarius Wynn, James Starks, D.J. Smith)
7th round: 7 (Donald Driver, Brad Jones, C.J. Wilson, Ryan Taylor, Lawrence Guy, Andrew Datko, B.J. Coleman)

Unrestricted FA signings: 4 (Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, Jeff Saturday, Anthony Hargrove)
Waiver claims: 2 (John Kuhn, Jarrett Bush)
Undrafted/street FAs: 45

Obviously, because of TT, this team is built through the draft.


A few fun facts:
Shortest player: Du'ane Bennett (5'9")
Tallest player: Andrew Datko (6'6")
Lightest player: Sam Shields (184)
Heaviest player: Ryan Pickett (340) [If Raji's listed weight of 337 is to be believed]
Youngest player: Randall Cobb (beats Datko by 7 days)
Oldest player: Donald Driver
University featuring most players: Arkansas (4: DJ Williams, Brett Goode, Ray Dominguez, Grant Cook)

3 players each from: Minnesota, Ohio St, USC
2 players each from: Boston College, Buffalo, Cal, Colorado, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Kentucky, Middle Tennessee St, North Carolina, TCU, Utah St, Vanderbilt, VA Tech

I have heard an argument/opine/theory many times, that every rookie in your starting lineup equals(1) one regular season loss for the team, that a veteran starting line up would not have had?

How many rookies start in the regular season starting line up this year?

Currently the numbers not used are 1, 3, 4, 5, 17, 36, 46, 48, and 92. I may have missed one or two, but did notice 67, 69 and 77 are duplicated. I'm left to assume if the roster limit is raised to say 96 and a team has six numbers retired ... they duplicate numbers, rather than pull down a retired number?


Edit, raised, not raided.

yeah they use the same number for an offense and defensive player. I saw this happen a lot in the 70s and 80s. (I think the rosters had a max of 100 back then.)


edit- corrected your typo here too. [grin1]

I don't think there were enough rookie reps to combined to equal one "starter".

Not to be a jerk. Just sayin'. It's not a "smart" position. I don't think in the slightest that a rookie DL would hinder the team. Now a rookie OL, QB, or MLB, yes. Those will cause losses.
