As stated elsewhere, the Packers also will draw from the pool of guys they've seen in the facility in case of a crisis of injuries at a position. Rotherham for example, if he shows promise, might be the first guy they call up if they (god forbid) get a couple of linemen hurt. It seems at every opportunity, the Packers will choose the newb at least provisionally 'brought up' in their own system over a calcified veteran from other team(s).
