I kept R. Rodgers, Thomas and Elliot due to numbers they normally keep at their positions and I don't see a strong challenge to be had...

- R. Rodgers - I never said Ted Thompson was satisfied. I think the Packers will be keeping at least 3 TEs, and I think R. Rodgers is a lock to be within the top 3 TEs on the Packers rosters. I don't see Sandland or Peck beating out Rodgers.

So I'll take Thomas off the locked list, and put him on my inside bubble list.

- Elliot - At OLBers they normally keep 6. Matthews, Perry, Fackrell and Biegel take up four spots, leaving two spots open... and Elliot is also a ST stud so clearly he's got the tie breaker... what two other OLBers could clearly beat him out? I don't see it, so I believe a healthy Elliot is a clearly a lock.

- Edited: Safety Evans, I also need to take him off the locked list, because while I think it's a good chance they keep 5 Safeties (with 3 ILBers)... that's not a lock, and he's not a lock if another UDFA like Brice comes around. There is also Jermaine Whitehead (if he can play ST correctly) and I've heard that rookies Aaron Taylor's change of direction and quickness stood out in shorts.

Told myself I wasn't going to do this this year, I lied!!!😁

My biggest shocker, only two RBs? The Packers made that mistake last year... and with injuries two RBs went to none. RBs get injured a lot... and they drafted 3... I think at least two will stick. Also they might not be a sure thing to make it to the PS.

I think Jordan Tripp is an ILB in the Packers system... he's about 15 pounds lighter than all the other OLBers (since Fackrell has gained weight), and he's right in line with the ILBers.

The way I see it, we are thinner at WR than we have been in years (not accounting for injury). Aside from our top 3 we don't have shit. And 1 of those 3 is getting old while another is on the verge of being a cap casualty if he doesn't get his game right soon. If we don't reload ASAP we may be really hurting at WR a year or 2 from now. We have to extend Adams ASAp or we're super screwed. It's a good thing we signed those Tight Ends.

I chose Kerridge over 1 of the 7th round picks because he performed well on ST's last year.

Don't forget Randall Cobb.
Mike's package with him being a rb hasn't been thrown out .
I see Ripkowski getting more touches this season.
Stash 2 rb's on the PS and have them ready to go.

I expect 6 of the 8 will still be there after the Practice Squad is created.
2 years from now there will probably at least 2 new draft picks.
Not sure what you expect.
Janis has probably hit his peak, someone beats him out at gunner, he will be gone.
We still have no clue how good the rest can be.
Davis and Allison flashed last year, the rest will all be competing to show they belong.

Reloading at WR is all Ted has been doing.
