The So Early It's Both Awesome & Stupid Thread- Pick the 53

[Guiness]

Practice squad would seem like the perfect spot for Goodson, who seems to be more than willing and not lacking in talent, but very inexperienced. But then when you consider that he is already 25 years old, you start to wonder if a year on PS and another year or two on PS and/or as a backup is really worth it over a younger guy.

I brought that up earlier - he's a little long in the tooth to be considered for developmental spot. I imagine they'd want him to come along pretty quickly.

Goodson seems to have fallen off everyone's radar. Last few posters don't even have him making the PS while Rolle gets on the 53. I don't know about that, generally speaking the Packers find a way to get their draft picks onto the team. Bradford might be an exception though.

I'd agree if he were a 4th or 5th round pick, but it seems to me they are much more willing to cut late round picks and put them on the PS.

Great athlete, but greener than goose shit.

He got 180ed twice last game.

PS at best.

Maybe a year of NFL coaching might make him a candidate for 15's roster.

I wouldn't worry about Goodson's age. Brent Grimes is a top-10 corner in his thirties. PS the guy and hope for the best.

Just tape Goodson and Rolle together in one uniform and let them play the nose.

Lmao what does that have to do with Goodson being a 25 year old injury prone rookie? Yea I agree we should PS him though.

Big play yielding, injury prone 25 year old. Not a great start.

On Goodson, I noticed him a couple games ago.

When he got in, he had perfect pre-snap mechanics.

He was text book.

After some decent coverage, he screwed up and got beat on a basic route.

Last game, the wheels came off.

After his first spinerelly, he looked like a lost kid at the mall searching for mom.

A year on PS, OTA's and another camp might get him together, but I'd think not.

He's got miles to go.

The point is, three years from now, if he's solid or better, a 28 year old Goodson is way more valuable than a 21 year old JAG. Basically, focus on the play and not the age.

House is 25. Shields is 26. Bush is 30.
Juaml Rolle is 24.
Goodson may never make it, but give him a year on the PS and he may produce for a few years.

Didn't really get a good look at Pennel today. Rolle, Elliott, and Janis all locked in their spots tonight.

He had a couple of tackles and one penetration. But he also got shoved around by the Chiefs line in the second half. He was at nose every time I saw him. Active though, his rep from scouting and college clearly isn't the whole story. But he needs an anchor.

I won't get to see the game until after cuts, so I might as well make my predictions based on other people's observations:

QB (3) Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, Scott Tolzien
RB (4) Eddie Lacy, James Starks, DuJuan Harris, John Kuhn
WR (5) Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Jarrett Boykin, Davante Adams, Jeff Janis
TE (4) Richard Rodgers, Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick, Ryan Taylor
OL (8) David Bakhtiari, Josh Sitton, J.C. Tretter, T.J. Lang, Bryan Bulaga, Derek Sherrod, Corey Linsley, Lane Taylor
DL (5) Mike Daniels, Datone Jones, Josh Boyd, Letroy Guion, Mike Pennel
OLB (5) Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, Mike Neal, Nick Perry, Jayrone Elliott
ILB (5) Brad Jones, A.J. Hawk, Jamari Lattimore, Sam Barrington, Carl Bradford
CB (6) Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, Casey Hayward, Davon House, Jarrett Bush, Jumal Rolle
S (5) Morgan Burnett, Micah Hyde, Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix, Sean Richardson, Chris Banjo
ST (3) Mason Crosby, Tim Masthay, Brett Goode

Last 3 on vs. Last 3 off: Flynn, Bradford, Taylor vs. Mulumba, Dorsey, Stoneburner. They could easily roll with just Rodgers and Tolzien, but I think the chemistry is good in the QB room. I'm not sure any of the last three guys off would make a big enough difference to go another direction. I really want to put Stoneburner over Taylor, but Taylor trumps him on special teams. I think Dorsey has a future in the NFL, but he didn't take advantage of his chances. It sounds like Bradford showed enough at ILB to give Thompson a reason to keep the 4th round pick. I'm not sure Mulumba has enough pass rush potential to warrant a spot, but he could make it on special teams.

The more I think on it, the more I could see the team cutting Tramon or perhaps (if the right partner stepped forward) trading him. His cap number is 9.5m and his dead money is only 2.3 or thereabouts.

I know he's still a good player, but he's 31 and CB is kind of deep for us...

Hubbard has a way to go, but both he and Elliot have a body type the Packers haven't had with the exception of Peppers. And Elliot knows how to leverage that length to get around a corner. He's like a can opener.

Hubbard might need to gain 40 pounds. He looks like a mall forward at 250.
