QB: Aaron Rodgers and Scott Tolzien (2)
I don't think the Packers have enough roster space to keep both Tolzien and Flynn and give the nod to Tolzien because of his athleticism and his vast improvement over the year.
RB: Eddie Lacy, James Starks, DuJuan Harris, and Josh Kuhn (4)
This is a pretty set position for the packers and can't see Raijon Neal get on because of his injury issues.
WR: Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Jarrett Boykin, DaVante Adams, and Jeff Janis (5)
The only reason to keep a guy like Kevin Dorsey on the roster is for special team purposes only. This is one of the Packers deepest positions and have a lot of upside in their fifth receiver, Janis.
TE: Richard Rodgers, Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick, and Ryan Taylor (4)
I give the nod to Taylor over Stoneburner because Taylor os a better blocker and a major contributor on special teams.
O-LINE: David Bakhtiari, Josh Sitton, Corey Linsley, T.J. Lang, Bryan Bulaga, Derrek Sherrod, Lane Taylor, added player off another team (8)
The Packers offensive line depth has gotten thin thanks to the injuries of J.C. Tretter and Aaron Adams. I expect the Packers to pick up a player off another team while they wait for Tretter to come back.
D-LINE: Datone Jones, Letroy Guion, Mike Daniels, Josh Boyd, and Mike Pennel (5)
You may see the Packers add another player like Carlos Gray or Luther Robinson but this is very thin defensive line depth with the loss of B.J. Raji for the year and Thornton for some time.
Outside Linebackers: Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, Nick Perry, Mike Neal, Jayrone Elliot, Andy Mulumba (6)
I really like the depth the Packers have at outside linebacker and you may see Mulumba replaced with a guy like Nate Palmer or even Adrian Hubbard but I gave it to Mulumba based on his special teams play.
Inside Linbackers: A.J. Hawk, Brad Jones, Jamari Lattimore, Sam Barrington, Carl Bradford (5)
The only questionable call was Bradford who has struggled but Packers spent a big pick on him so there is no reason to cut him.
CB: Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Casey Hayward, Davon House, Jarrett Bush, Jamal Rolle (6)
I give the nod to Jamal Rolle over Demetri Goodson based on Rolle's play recently.
S: Morgan Burnett, Micah Hyde, Haha Clinton-Dix, Sean Richardson, Chris Banjo (5)
The Packers have the space for both Richardson and Banjo as Richardson will provide depth and Banjo will mainly contribute on special teams.
Specialists: Mason Crosby, Tim Masthay, Brett Goode (3)

Impressive, Zach. But doesn't Tretter count toward the 53 if he is only out 4 weeks?
ReplyDeleteMitch, Tretter is going on the short term IR which opens up a roster spot, when he comes back 4-8 weeks into the season, we will have to drop a player back down to the practice squad or release him.
