Watching a couple videos, Jackson can pass protect too. He's intriguing but he also has an interesting past that I hope he's not still living and just covering up.

I agree. If you subscribe to the theory that each player should bring unique dimension to the team, I'd say that Monty and Adams are the most redundant. I hope Monty is healthy because I really liked what he brought last year. But if he's not even running yet he's gonna require time to get back in playing shape.
Adams is a competitor and I think he'll come into camp with a chip on his shoulder from all the criticism coming his way. He should anyway.
My thing with Murphy is, unless he leapfrogs 3 or 4 guys, he'll never dress. He likely has value for the future but probably no value this year.
Yeah, it feels to me like Clark and Daniels could be pegged as primary nickel linemen to start, while Guion, Daniels and one of the DE's could be the 3-4 base line to start.
If Daniel has made the jump as has been suggested, I'm loving the DB crew. You only have 9 pegged and there is often 10. That said, I know he has ST value but I'm still hoping Banjo gets beat out.
I'd say safety, ILB and RB are the spots with the greatest opportunity for an undrafted guy to rise up. There's a lot of traffic to get through everywhere else. Some guys at the bottom of the roster may go to the practice squad as much because they're eligible while another guy isn't. (Murphy, Ringo, Rotheram and some UDFA upstarts at deep position areas) Of course injuries dictate a lot that can't be predicted.
Are you trying to start a long snapper controversy?

Quite the write-up even if it is a pretty puffy piece Have to wonder how happy he is to be in GB though, sounds like he really didn't like the cold in Iowa, and when he went to Div I he chose the desert.

Tim Masthay - seems like a nice guy, but I hope the dude gets his shit together this year. From what I've read, though, Peter Morrell sounds like he's pretty "meh" and is a mushroom to boot.

Harvey and Vince out with Boyd being released. Has to be a new speed record.

I'm not surprised by Grinnage because I looked him and didn't give him a draftable or even PFA grade.
Roster seems to be at 88 players.The Green Bay Packers signed T Jason Spriggs and TE Casey Pierce and rookie free agents DT Demetris Anderson, RB Brandon Burks, FB Alstevis Squirewell and G Cory Tucker and released DT Josh Boyd, DT William Campbell, TE David Grinnage, WR Dennis Parks and T Jeremy Vujnovich.
Are they holding a spot for one of these guys?
Code:61 Goode, Brett LS 6-1 255 31 9 Arkansas 89 Jones, James WR 6-1 208 32 10 San Jose State 30 Kuhn, John FB 6-0 250 33 11 Shippensburg 96 Neal, Mike LB 6-3 262 28 7 Purdue 81 Quarless, Andrew TE 6-4 252 27 7 Penn State

An update from Silverstein that fills one of the spots:
The Green Bay Packers have signed former Oak Creek High School and Utah State safety Marwin Evans to a rookie free agent contract, according to an NFL source.
Evans, a college teammate of Packers third-round pick Kyler Fackrell, had taken part in Seattle Seahawks rookie camp on a tryout basis last weekend. The Seahawks did not sign him and the Packers quickly pounced on him, choosing to sign him to their 53-man roster rather than work him out first.
The 5-11, 211-pound Evans parlayed a terrific pro day workout into interest around the NFL. Evans ran the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds and benched 225 pounds 19 times in his workout at Utah State. He also had a 42-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10-foot, 1-inch.
The Packers did not announce the signing of Evans, but they did announce a flurry of other moves, including the release of 2013 fifth-round pick Josh Boyd...
Being at 88 probably means they were signing others off the street FA heap after rookie minicamp and tryouts.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
signed:
TE Casey Pierce, Kent State
DT Demetris Anderson, Central Florida
RB Brandon Burks, Troy
FB Alstevis Squirewell, Newberry College
G Cory Tucker, Slippery Rock
Yes, but the safety that Harv mentioned elsewhere from Seahawks camp was signed but not on official paperwork. So there could be another.

I didn't include him because he has already been mentioned and discussed in this thread as pretty much a done deal but for the paperwork. The five I listed had not been mentioned yet, to my knowledge, so I listed them. I don't think any of them have yet been on the official transactions list, just three of those released.
I think they will have room for one more besides the six we have identified. I believe they were at 88, then released five and signed six, which should put them at 89.
If we just signed a FB I doubt they are saving a spot for Kuhn and Jones was told weeks ago he wasn't in our plans for 2016. We signed Cook so Q is most likely out too. The only 2 that could still be signed yet are Goode and Neal.
but they did announce a flurry of other moves, including the release of 2013 fifth-round pick Josh Boyd...

You can never tell anymore. The bottom half of those cups could be filled with surplus Reebok Pump bladders.
Also, Josh Boyd failed his physical.
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/378705821.htmlAccording to the NFL transaction wire, Boyd failed his physical, which means the Packers felt he was not healthy enough to take part in any of the football activities they had scheduled. They have not commented on the condition of his injury.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Also, drafting Clark while losing Raji and Boyd probably indicates that the Packers weren't as concerned by their DT lineup as draft prognosticators. They obviously knew Boyd wasn't healthy (or stood a good chance of not being healthy) but it was the retirement of Raji that made it an emergency.
For PackerRats such as myself, the presence of Boyd make the focus pre-draft on NT look overstated. But its obvious now they needed a talented body.
