The Roster

[Bretsky]

TT sure has set up AROD nicely though with some loaded talent at the skill positions. If only we did that years ago when BF was in his prime.

Fergy "the fraud" wasn't good enough for you ... god... some people will never be happy

OUCH

That nightmare will infinitely live with anybody who bleeds Cardinal and White and also Green n Gold

[CaliforniaCheez]

Some of the new guys have about 30 practices to improve and impress or they are gone.

Yet somehow there is always an undrafted free agent rookie that makes the team.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'll give two grades.

The first is how I think the guys that will get the most playing time will do this year:

QB - C
RB - B+
FB - C+
WR - A-
TE - B
OL - B
DE - B
DT - B-
LB - A-
CB - B+
S - C+

[HarveyWallbangers]

The second grade is how I feel about the position going forward and what we might have their in two years (kind of the grading of the depth and the prospects):

QB - B+
RB - B
FB - B-
WR - A-
TE - B+
OL - C+
DE - B
DT - B+
LB - A-
CB - C
S - B

[Chubbyhubby]

B

I am concerned about the pass rush. If they don't get that fixed, they'll always be a pretender, but they're definity on track and should be playoff competitive this year again.

I completely agree; when we let CW go we lost penetration, pressures, and sacks from the DT position. We need somebody to pick that up and we need the current players to step it up on the pass rush.

I agree TT should have stocked pile the offense for Favre however, Our D needed to get improved. We have addressed that for the couple drafts. Remember TT has been the GM for the last 4 years. Ron Wolf was the GM when Favre was in his prime. Give TT some credit with the drafts he has had. This draft class was very solid. We got good players, Perhaps some of the picks in the later rounds didn't perform as well during college but their pro potential is off the roof! TT addressed the D last few drafts this time around was the Offensive turn. I am happy about the Jordy Nelson pick. We solified the WR position. Added depth to our offensive line. Got a gritty great hands TE which we needed, Backup QB situation solved. I'd rate the draft B+.

WR - A
TE - B
OL - B
DE - B

LB - B+
CB - A-
S - C

I obviously feel a lot better about our QB situation than anyone here....With Rodgers' talent and the weapons around him, along with the lack of great QBs in the NFC (Romo, and then who?) I would be surprised if Rodgers doesn't at least get consideration for the Pro Bowl.

Last year there were HUGE concerns about WR, OL, RB, and S at this time. One of the benefits of having the youngest team in the league is that every year more young players are going to step up and some new heros are going to emerge as well just like Jennings, Grant, and Bigby. I expect every single area of the team to get better with the exception of course of QB. That being said, I can't imagine a better QB situation for us to be in all things considered. So yeah the offense may get worse but I expect the defense to more than make up for it.

QB - B-
RB - B+
FB - C+
WR - A
TE - B
OL - B+
DL - A-
LB - A
CB - A-
S - B-

I expect the Packers to walk away with this division again. We should do this for all the other teams in the division too.

[Lurker64]

I don't know, I personally don't have a good feel for the rosters of the Bears, Lions, or Vikings. I know who most of the relevant starters are, but I can't for the life of me break down the #4 CB for the Vikes (or name him). I doubt anybody knows the Lions very well.

[Merlin]

It is a mistake to think that Robinson won't make the team. In his limited time with us he has shown he has the speed and the ability. But then again, he is probably everyone's red headed step child this season.

Speed? Koren Robinson looked like the receiver version of Noah Herron last year.

For the life of me, I can not recall a single play during which Robinson showed anything more than average speed for a WR, or average ability as a WR. Maybe there were some of those plays, but they sure made no impression on me.

For the most part, I remember average run-of-the-mill plays from him, and some of what he did too often in Seattle, a mistake here and there, and dropping a few that he shouldn't.

Unlike Jennings, or even Jones, I remember no plays as a WR from Robinson that make me look forward to seeing him this year anymore than I look forward to seeing Ruvell Martin.

[Tarlam!]

Ya, but K-Rob showed willingness. Every time he was on the field, he showed "I want da ball".

Cost us some against the Giants, BTW.

Has nothing to do with making the team..He's not signed...

With the drafting of Nelson, I'd doubt he gets signed either..

Koren is signed. He signed a two year deal when he signed.

[BF4MVP]

Brought him in in '06 though..

I don't know how that works with the suspension and all..But I heard on the radio that he's not under contract..
