Unlike many others, I decided to predict the final 53-man roster after I actually had a chance to watch the...

This roster is the closest to my own of any I have seen.

One strange thing, though - no mention at all of Mike Neal. I'd keep him and cut Perry. I'd also keep Pinkard over White.

MR edited his LB list to include Neal.

Here's my thought... turn Ripkowski into a LB. He has been phenomenal tackling on ST's. Looks very natural doing it and guys stay tackled when he gets his hands on them.

Oh, he's a FB why would we do that? This from the HIGH SCHOOL section of his bio at Packers.com:

A four-year letterman in football, power lifting, and track and field at Dayton (Texas) High School…Played defensive end, linebacker and guard…

I'd keep him as our last LB and leave Kuhn as the only FB. This guy could be a Spencer Havner utility player for us able to back up at FB if need be and then play his ST's and backup LB.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

My comments:

- No way Lane Taylor is cut, he is the default backup for both guard positions.
- I have Hubbard ahead of Vaughters, I've seen good things from Hubbard and his size alone is a factor in the field.
- I'm not sure about Goodson and Banjo, Goodson looks like a cut for me at this point and Banjo doesn't seem to be improving from Jarret Bush 2.0, a good ST player that can be a liability on coverage.
- If his injury is nothing serious Perillo is ahead of Henry, Backman and Spears as the 3rd TE.

I'd cut Barclay if he doesn't improve...ain't no one going to touch a player performing like he is right now.

We really need a journeyman OT, because Barclay sucks! Hope Ted Thompson doesn't really think he has that position covered. I'd trade some of the extra corners and running backs we seem to have before it's time to make cuts.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.
