I don't think this is too far off, although I kinda think Ty Montgomery will get 3rd WR over Abberderis.

The Green Bay Packers receiving depth has been the basis for many stories on this website, as well as across the Packers universe. With the injury to Jeff Janis, we are down to six options to make the active roster. So far this preseason, Jared Abbrederis has made the most of his opportunities. Going into [...]

Nothing's settled. I'm not trying to rush pre-season. Let's see what happens. That being said, I really like Abby. The guy runs great routes.

The only issue with Abberderis is availability. The guy just gets open and catches things.

Jordy (assuming he's still got it)
Cobb
Montgomery (Davante might technically be #3 for right now, due to Monty's absence)
Davante
Davis

Abby still needs to make this team. He will do it by someone else getting hurt or by proving to Ted that he needs to keep 6.

Nothing is set but it will be interesting to watch it develop.

I think Abbrederis' biggest problem is that his best position is the same as Cobb (and Montgomery). With Cobb best spot being the slot, I think the 3rd WR will be an outside WR, which works against Abbrederis... but it could still happen for him.

Cobb and Abbrederis seem to have made the best cases for roster spots so far this preseason. But there was a reason Adams and Janis were getting more reps with the #1 unit (before Janis' injury) and that's because they're outside WRs with Cobb in the slot. So I think Adams is currently the lead for the 3rd WR. With Abbrederis #4.

Nelson (if healthy)
Cobb
Adams
Abbrederis
Montgomery
Janis (as a ST gunner, if he's healing up enough to be fully healed in the first month of the season)

I don't know the answer to any of these questions, but about how often do 5th round picks get cut their rookie year? Also do those picks usually get claimed off waivers?

I think Davis's speed and return abilities might be too tempting to let go.

And Mike McCarthy seems to resist the idea of keeping 7 WRs. So if everyone is healthy (or healthy enough to not IR) then I don't know what they do.

It seems as every time the Packers draft a WR with speed and/or return abilities, fans seem to think those skill sets are too important to let go.

2006: 4th round pick, WR Cory Rodgers had to make the roster because of his college return skills... yet he never made an NFL roster and only lasted a month on any teams practice squad.

2007: 5th round pick: WR David Clowney had to make the roster because of his 4.40 timed speed (some reports said he timed faster than that too). Fans said Clowney was the clear guy to set the WR group over the top, especially over the slow 3rd round pick (James Jones). Over 5 years, Clowney was able to get 22 catches for 341 yards... none with the Packers as he never made the Packers roster.

2013: 7th round pick: WR Charles Johnson had to make the roster because of his 4.39 speed and potential. There was an injury problem that the Packers didn't find and another team claimed him.

2014: 7th round pick: WR Jeff Janis had to make the roster because of his 4.42 speed and potential. Now Janis has made the roster a couple of times now... but I think we can all agree he hasn't lived up to the hype that the fans have set for his speed...

2016: 5th round pick: WR Trevor Davis has to make the roster because of his 4.42 speed and return skills. When it seems like the WRs that excite the fans with speed the most, are the ones that don't make the transition as well.

how often do 5th round picks get cut their rookie year? Also do those picks usually get claimed off waivers?

In fact off the top of my head, I'm not sure if any rookie draft picks have been claimed right after the Packers cut them. Though they have made a couple of trades after teams showed interested in making claims but wanted first priority and not letting the other teams have a chance at claiming said player.

Panthers for LS J.J. Jansen (though it was his 2nd year after his draft)
Jets for G Caleb Schlauderaff
