SPECIAL TEAMS

They seem to be at 91. I thought they could have no more than 90, but maybe there's either a provision or one of the UDFAs is in for a tryout.

[Deputy Nutz]

Packers have no depth at Safety

[HarveyWallbangers]

Packers have no depth at Safety

Same four guys as last year. Hyde is the 3rd safety.

[texaspackerbacker]

No depth at Safety? I, for one, have a high opinion of Banjo, and as has been mentioned, Hyde is there. The fact is, the way Capers plays defense, the line is blurred between Corner and Safety anyway, and with Fackrell now, maybe even between ILB and Safety. Also, I think this kid Brice has a decent chance to make the team as a Safety who kinda resembles a Corner.

[vince]

Solid. There are always 2 or 3 undrafted guys that make the squad.

I don't know a lot about Murphy but at this point I'd lean toward stashing him on the PS and promoting Henry at TE/ST.

If Davis flashes at all in the preseason he may be tough to stash on the PS, but I agree that Abby would be tough to cut if it comes down to that.

I'm watching Brown (who I think looks a tad soft as a tackler) and Brice as potential guys who could shine like Gunter did last year.

Daniel will also be interesting to watch.

Also I think Clark may push Boyd off the roster, assuming he can play in nickel/base, which I'm guessing they think he can since they obviously graded him atop the d-line class.

[Patler]

Christian Ringo might be a guy to watch, too. Recall that they raised his PS pay to the regular roster rookie minimum to avoid losing him. Several players commented that he really stood out in practices, and improved continually throughout the year.

[Fritz]

Didn't he need to gain some weight? I wonder if he did, and if so, was it muscle weight or Lacy weight?

[Patler]

Didn't he need to gain some weight? I wonder if he did, and if so, was it muscle weight or Lacy weight?

If he added weight, it will be muscle weight. He is a weight room monster. Very passionate about lifting weights.

[RashanGary]

I hope so, Patler. Would be nice to get a good infusion of DL talent all of a sudden. Clark and Ringlo both being good would be a big boost for our defense.

[Patler]

I hope so, Patler. Would be nice to get a good infusion of DL talent all of a sudden. Clark and Ringlo both being good would be a big boost for our defense.

It seems that Ringo is very much the same type player that Daniels is, so maybe he can give Daniels a break. The question is, how man DL can they afford to keep when so few are on the field at times? Daniels, Clark, Guion and Jones are givens. Probably room for only about two more, and they have Pennel (eventually), Ringo and Boyd coming back in addition to Lowry.

[Guiness]

PFT using a Tom Silverstein article to claim Adams' roster spot may be in jeopardy.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/04/davante-adams-may-struggle-to-make-packers-roster/

Pretty light on any details other than 'had a bad year, could go'

[pbmax]

He would have to collapse in camp like he did during the regular season in 2105 (with injury) not to be on the roster.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/04/davante-adams-may-struggle-to-make-packers-roster/

Pretty light on any details other than 'had a bad year, could go'

Yeah, I thought that was shoddy. The article was simply identifying the position with the most competition. Whoever wrote that PFT piece interpreted that as an official report.

[Patler]

The Packers were not at all disappointed in Adams as a rookie. Last year, they were; but we have discussed at length the factors that may have been responsible. They will open the season with him on the roster (absent an injury keeping him off ot).

I know Jones is a bit of a hybrid now, but wouldn't he more or less count as one of the linebacking corp now?

I would guess the early favorites are Daniels, Guion, Clark, and Pennel, with Lowry being an obvious keep unless he completely poops the bed, plus Ringo (hereafter to be known as "Ringworm") as a strong candidate. I think Josh Boyd might be the odd man out.

I think they keep six and go light at tight end and fullback to make room.

All in all, Harvey's list looks pretty good, but they are going to have some interesting cuts this year:

WR - Davis could put heat on Abbrederis.
TE - one spot for Backman, Perillo and maybe even Mitchell Henry
OL - Rotheram was a heavily recruited RFA, and the Packers also had to increase his salary to keep him on their PS last year. Might he replace Taylor? Can Barclay return to the passable backup he was before his ACL injury?

DL - as discussed, 7 that I could see making the team, not including Pennel at the start..
OLB - McCray adds an unknown. With him they have 6 possibles, not including Jones at the position.
ILB - Can Thomas hold the 4th spot? Will they even have a 4th spot? Is Brown as good as some thought in Jan., or the guy who fell out of the draft? Is Bradford done?
CB - Will they have a spot for Goodsen when he comes off suspension? They have six possible in addition to him.

Cutting any of those mentioned will cause no anguish. Injuries will probably decide the fates of one or two who will drop from consideration because of their own injury, or who will get a spot due to someone else being injured. Nevertheless, for me it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out at the end of camp.

At least they seem to have some reasonable candidates for all of the last positions on the team, other than maybe RB and safety where at least as of now it seems easy to draw the line between those who will make it and those who won't. Even QB is a bit of a question as far as how many they will keep, just the two obvious, or will they use a roster spot for a third?

[HarveyWallbangers]

After reading the UDFA bios, here's what I'd go with:

QB AARON RODGERS, Brett Hundley, Joe Callahan, Ryan Williams

Callahan sounds a little intriguing, but not enough that I'd project they'd keep 3 QBs. Hundley seems like a pretty sturdy QB. If they had to go with one of the young guys, they'd have no chance anyways. Callahan sounds like an interesting candidate for the practice squad.

RB EDDIE LACY, James Starks, John Crockett, Don Jackson, Brandon Burks

It seems like Jackson is a threat to Crockett's roster spot, but I still project Crockett to win the third RB spot. Crockett will have to show something or the Packers could outside the organization to find their third RB.

FB Aaron Ripkowski

The only FB on the roster, as of now.

WR JORDY NELSON, RANDALL COBB, Davante Adams, Ty Montgomery, Jeff Janis, Jared Abbrederis, Trevor Davis, Jamel Johnson, Ed Williams, Geronimo Allison, Herb Waters, Devonte Robinson, Dennis Parks

Davis could beat out Abbrederis. Provided everybody is healthy, I think the Packers need a WR more like Davis than Abbrederis (a third slot guy is a luxury). If Montgomery is not fully healthy, than Abbrederis has the upper hand over Davis. I don't remember which returning practice squad guy, Williams or Jones, sounds more intriguing. Of the UDFA players, Allison (good size, seems to lack smarts, so maybe a year on the PS), Waters (most polished), and Robinson (best measurables) all sound intriguing.

TE JARED COOK, Richard Rodgers, Kennard Backman, Justin Perillo, Mitchell Henry, David Grinnage

Because the Packers will likely go light at QB and RB, there could be room for four TEs, but the young guys will need to show improvement. I liked Perillo in camp two years ago, but he didn't show a lot of improvement last year. My guess is they'll keep the upside of Backman, but the Packers seem to like Henry as well.

OT BRYAN BULAGA, DAVID BAKHTIARI, Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy, Don Barclay, Jeremy Vujnovich, Josh James

I can't see them cutting Murphy, if he shows anything, over Barclay--especially if Spriggs looks ready to be the top swing OT.

OG JOSH SITTON, T.J. LANG, Lane Taylor, Josh Walker, Matt Rotheram, Vince Kowalski

Rotheram could win a roster spot. I don't think Taylor is at risk of losing a spot, but Walker certainly is.

OC COREY LINSLEY, J.C. Tretter

This should be set in stone.

DEFENSE

DE MIKE DANIELS, LETROY GUION, Datone Jones, Dean Lowry, Josh Boyd, Christian Ringo, B.J. McBryde, Tyler Kuder

Should be good battle for the last spot or two. I wouldn't write off McBryde either. The guy has ideal size for 3-4 DE and he tested well coming out last year.

NT KENNY CLARK, Mike Pennel, William Campbell, Brian Price

It wouldn't be a shock if Campbell or Price made the roster while Pennel is out, but they'll likely rotate Guion with Clark at NT for the first four games.

OLB CLAY MATTHEWS, JULIUS PEPPERS, Nick Perry, Jayrone Elliott, Kyler Fackrell, Lerentee McCray, Reggie Gilbert

The first five seem set. I project McCray, at least initially with the suspensions. He got some run for a great Denver defense.

ILB SAM BARRINGTON, JAKE RYAN, Blake Martinez, Joe Thomas, Carl Bradford, Beniquez Brown, Manoa Pikula

A lot of possibilities here. They could go with three and have Matthews or even Fackrell as the fallback. They could keep any of the last four. I had Brown with a draftable grade. I didn't look at Pikula at all. He is more athletic than Brown. I lean towards Thomas because they don't have anybody else who we know is at least serviceable as the coverage ILB.

CB SAM SHIELDS, DAMARIOUS RANDALL, Quentin Rollins, Micah Hyde (S), Ladarius Gunter, Robertson Daniel, Demetri Goodson, Josh Hawkins, Makinton Dorleant, Warren Gatewood, Randall Jette

There was some buzz about how Daniel played on the PS last year. I think Goodson may have cost himself a roster spot--although his special teams ability might get him back in favor. Daniel is a great athlete. Combine that with Whitt's coaching, and you may have something. Dorleant and Hawkins are intriguing. A lot of the UDFAs were on the shorter side and project to the slot, so it appears they are looking for a replacement for Hayward (to back Rollins up).

S MORGAN BURNETT, HA HA CLINTON-DIX, Chris Banjo, Kentrell Brice, Desmond Smith

Hyde is the fourth safety, but if one of the young corners doesn't step up, that may open up a spot for one of the intriguing UDFAs.

SPECIAL TEAMS

K Mason Crosby
P Tim Masthay, Peter Mortell
LS Rick Lovato

Whether Mortell has a shot depends entirely on Masthay rebounding from a bad 2015 season. Masthay's troubles actually go back to the second half of 2014 (if I remember correctly), so he may have less leeway than Crosby did when he was struggling.

There were a lot of names that I didn't recognize with the UDFAs, but there's a lot of good athletes in the group. Knowing the Packers, a couple of these guys will probably make the team, and it will probably ones that we least expect to.

[Fritz]

How can you not root for a guy with a name like Geronimo Allison?

[Patler]

Re: CB Robertson Daniel. It was more than just buzz about his practice squad performance, the Packers signed him to their regular roster before the end of the season, taking Quarless' spot when Quarless was put on IR. They even said at the time, it was a way to reward him for stellar work on the practice squad.

He is a converted safety and is about the size of Gunther at 6'1" 205. He ran the 40 in 4.46 when he was at 215 lbs. The Packers had him work with their nutritionist thinking he should be lighter as a CB and he lost 10 pounds. He (and Whitt) said everything started to click for him at about the middle of the season, and his weight loss made him quicker in the little things a CB has to do. His strength is tight press coverage. I say all this because it could make him an ideal replacement for Goodson on special teams, he tested better than Goodson in almost everything and is bigger. After now losing weight, he might test even better yet.

I agree with Harvey, Goodson may have cost himself a job with his suspension. Daniel might have a month to prove that even Goodson's special teams work might not be missed.

[Patler]

I saw an article about Brett Goode a few weeks ago. The article stated doctors who they consulted said he could be cleared to play by the start of the season, especially because of his position. The article asked opinions of a couple scouts who said that Lovato did an OK job for the Packers, and that a lot of teams had him on their emergency lists, but Goode was clearly a better snapper. They said all he needs to do is show that he is ready to play again, and the Packers will probably re-sign him. If not, a couple other teams might, but familiarity is important so if GB doesn't sign him, he might have to wait for an incumbent to screw up somewhere.

[mraynrand]

How can you not root for a guy with a name like Geronimo Allison?

He has a better future than Joe Custer.

[vince]

It seems like Jackson is a threat to Crockett's roster spot, but I still project Crockett to win the third RB spot. Crockett will have to show something or the Packers could outside the organization to find their third RB.
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.

http://www.rgj.com/story/sports/college/nevada/2015/08/14/life-saved-don-jackson-story/31749275/


Davis could beat out Abbrederis. Provided everybody is healthy, I think the Packers need a WR more like Davis than Abbrederis (a third slot guy is a luxury). If Montgomery is not fully healthy, than Abbrederis has the upper hand over Davis.

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.


I can't see them cutting Murphy, if he shows anything, over Barclay--especially if Spriggs looks ready to be the top swing OT.
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.


It wouldn't be a shock if Campbell or Price made the roster while Pennel is out, but they'll likely rotate Guion with Clark at NT for the first four games.
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.

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.

An update from Silverstein that fills one of the spots: (http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/378705821.html)


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...

[pbmax]

Being at 88 probably means they were signing others off the street FA heap after rookie minicamp and tryouts.

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.

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.


According 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.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/378705821.html

[pbmax]

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.

[mraynrand]

no pressure on Clark, eh?

[Carolina_Packer]

no pressure on Clark, eh?

TT seems to do a good job finding undrafted guys for DL that are OK for depth.

[vince]

I guess this is as good of a spot as any for this.

Quentin Rollings getting some love from USA Today as a player "destined" for a breakout season. (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/05/2016-nfl-breakout-players-teddy-bridgewater-jadeveon-clowney-telvin-smith)


There might not be a young corner with a higher ceiling than Rollins, who played just one year of football at Miami (Ohio). That inexperience led scouts to put the “raw” label on him before the 2015 NFL draft. Rollins looked anything but raw over an encouraging rookie season in which he intercepted two passes without conceding a touchdown, per Pro Football Focus. He’ll get more playing time in 2016 with Casey Hayward moving on to San Diego, which means more opportunities to show off his freakish athleticism.

[Patler]

Demetri Goodsen might not have a spot when he come off suspension. His primary value was ST. Preliminary reports are positive on Davis as a ST'er in roles other than returner:


As the Packers entered their mandatory minicamp this week, the early returns on Davis reinforce the idea that special teams will be an integral part of his role. But, according to special teams coordinator Ron Zook, the specifics of his contributions are more wide-ranging than originally expected.

"It’s been impressive watching what he’s done not only as a returner," Zook said after Tuesday's practice. "He’s come in and we’ve really worked him as a gunner, for example, on the punt team and as a corner holding up and (on the) kickoff team covering. I’ve been very, very pleased with what we’ve seen in the shorts so far. I think there’s no reason for me to believe he’s not going to be a guy that’s going to be able to contribute more than just as a returner."

Gunther and Daniel could drop Goodsen as low as 7th at CB. If Davis or Daniel fill in adequately on ST's, Goodsen might be looking for work when he come off suspension.
