The 53 Man Roster

[texaspackerbacker]

Break it down by number at each position group and eventually by naming names.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'll go with 3 Special Teamers: Crosby, Scott, Triner or Bradley

Offense: 3 QBs, 1 Fullback, 4 RBs, 3 TEs, 7 WRs, 8 O Linemen

Defense: 6 D Linemen, 5 OLB, 3 ILB, 6 Corners, 4 Safeties

[Joemailman]

They'll probably go with 3 RB's until Jones is eligible. Maybe add a 9th O lineman.

6 D-Linemen would be normal, but I don't know if there are 6 worth keeping. 5 really good ones and then a big dropoff. Maybe add a 9th linebacker.

Well this is just way too tempting. Never miss a chance to look silly by predicting too early.

I think that is 53 total. Lots of close calls. Kendricks might make the cut at the expense of someone else, not sure who.

Finally, a real man willing to name names.

[smuggler]

Changes I see from wthigoot's list:

Boyle on the 53.
Kendricks on the 53.
ESB off the 53. Moore on the 53.
Pankey off the 53.
Donnerson off the 53.
Martini off the 53. Thomas on the 53.
Rollins off the 53.
Evans on the 53.

Lol, exactly. It's actually nice to even see a projection.

[texaspackerbacker]

Again, preference, not prediction:

3/Crosby, Scott, Bradley or Triner - keep the other on speed dial

2/Rodgers, Hundley with Boyle P.S. - Trade Kizer, assuming he's more tradeable than Hundley

4/J. Williams, Montgomery, Mays - Jones Suspended, maybe Bouagnon P.S. if it looks like he is worth it

1/Ripkowski

7/D. Adams, MVS, Allison, Kumerow, Davis, St. Brown, Moore - trade Cobb if possible, otherwise just cut him, P.S. Yancey if that's possible

3/Graham, Lewis, Tonyan - cut Kendricks, Byrd

8/Linsley, Taylor, McCray, Bakhtiari, Bulaga, Patrick, Murphy, Spriggs - Madison if ever, Pankey P.S. if possible, Day P.S., Bell cut, maybe pick up somebody for P.S.

6/Daniels, Clark, Wilkerson, Lowry, M. Adams, Looney - cut Mbu, P.S. Sheehy

3/Martinez, Burks, maybe Thomas - P.S. Martini, Crawford, I.R. Ryan, maybe pick up somebody for P.S. I'm assuming Matthews will play ILB part of the time.

5/Matthews, Perry, Gilbert, Biegel, Fackrell - P.S. Donnerson, cut Odom, etc.

7/T. Williams, Alexander, King, Jackson, Hawkins, House, one more from Waters, Goodson, Pipkins, Brown - P.S. whoever possible of the others

4/Clinton-Dix, J. Jones, Brice, either Rollins or Evans - P.S. Whitehead, Greene

I originally forgot Fullback. I'm counting Aaron Jones on the 53. Maybe keep an extra CB until he comes back.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Boyle on the 53.,

I'm not sure any team has seen enough of him to risk a roster spot. Seems like he a safe practice squader - unless he miraculous wins the backup job.

[smuggler]

He won't make backup.

That defense is quite a mess.

The line is okay, and the DB's are at least a work in progress, but linebacker is a train wreck - both inside and out.

2018 will be another wasted year, 2019 a build year... maybe we can contend by 2020??

AR stays healthy and we are in the SB.

[wist43]

AR stays healthy and we are in the SB.

Not with that defense... Pettine makes us better; I think we have more talent on the line and in the back end, but we are so lacking at LB that we're simply not championship caliber.

Besides, even with Rodgers our offense has been known to be held in check against good defenses.

We simply don't have the horses to win it all.

Did either Biegel or Fackrell lift weights in the off-season? They look like skinny punks.
