As the NCAA Basketball Tournament is being played out across the land, I wanted to do something Packers-related with a "March Madness' theme. So here's the idea: We're going to pick the 16 BEST players on the Packers roster. And by we, I mean me and YOU – the readers. To make it simpler, I'll pick the [...]

I'm still waiting for your picks/example hahaha. You know, this isn't easy - 3 through 16 anyway isn't easy. It would help if you mentioned whether you want choices based on last year's performance OR several years/career performance OR projected value for next season and beyond. It makes a huge difference when considering people like Bishop, Sherrod, Harris, T. Williams, etc.

It also would be nice to do this for all-time Packer greats.

AR of course is #1, I then decided the guys protecting him would have to be 2-6, then I went with Veteran players on both side of ball and added Bush as S.T leader.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

1. Rodgers
2. Matthews
3. Cobb
4. Nelson
5. T. Williams - when he returns to pre-injury form
6. Sitton
7. Bulaga
8. Finley
9. Bishop
10. Hawk
11. Shields
12. James Jones
13. Dejuan Harris (Benson, Starks, and Green could be placed here if they could stay healthy)
14. Lang
15. Burnett
16. Casey Hayward/Davon House/Nick Perry - I expect big things from all three.

We have mediocrity at Left Tackle and Center which does not bode well for a successful playoff team - these two areas need to be addressed. Hopefully Sherrod can become a player - nasty injury he has to overcome, but Flanagan did it - maybe Sherrod can to.
