OFFENSE
QB (3)
Keep: Rodgers (34), Kizer, Boyle
Cut: Hundley
Comments: Hundley marginally better than last year, but that's not saying a lot. Very impressed with Kizer. Bigger. Much stronger arm. His accuracy has been a real surprise. He stands in the pocket better. And he has so much more upside. Once he gets to know this offense and the benefit of more of McCarthy's coaching he'll be that much better. Boyle showed so well in the first two pre-season games that I think they need to make room to groom him on the 53, otherwise I think the odds of another team grabbing him off our Practice Squad -- like Taysom Hill last year -- are high. He seems to have that "it" factor that makes him worth keeping.
RB (3)
Keep: HB's Williams, Montgomery, FB Ripkowski
Suspended: Jones
Cut: HB Bouagnon, Daniels, Hill, FB Kerridge
Practice Squad: Mays
Comments: I think the Packers go with only 3 RBs to start the season, wait for Jones to return Game 3. Can always pull Mays up off the Practice Squad. We haven't seen enough of Mays to know if he's worth keeping or not. Williams, Jones fine, but Montgomery keeps getting nicked up. But they need to keep him for another year.
WR (7)
Keep: Adams, Cobb, Allison, Moore (D4), Valdes-Scantling (D5C), St. Brown (D6), Kumerow
Cut: Davis, Jennings, Lewis
PS: Yancey
Comments: Think we have 7 receivers worth keeping -- which doesn't include Davis, who I don't believe is worth a roster spot even though he may still be our best returner. All three rookies have shown they belong, Kumerow (assuming his shoulder injury isn't serious) can play, and Allison, despite his lack of speed, gets open and catches everything. Don't feel strongly about devoting a PS slot to Yancey, but for now he sticks around.
TE (3)
Keep: Graham (31), Lewis (34), Kendricks (30)
Cut: Byrd, Rader, Smith
PS: Tonyan
Comments: Graham and Lewis have looked nothing short of awesome. While it would not be a shock to see Kendricks cut and replaced by Tonyan, I think Tonyan can be stashed on the PS. Offers more upside than Byrd.
OL (9)
Keep: OT's Bakhtiari, Bulaga, Murphy, Spriggs G's Taylor, McCray, Patrick, Pankey, C Linsley
Cut: OT Bell, G Amichia, C Davis
PS: OT Light, C Day
DNR (Did Not Report): Madison (D5A)
Comments: Murphy was awful vs. the Raiders, but guessing he still sticks. Spriggs nothing great, but has improved his overall play and may still have upside. Bell looked terrible at both Tackle and Guard, so see no reason to keep. Patrick appears to have beaten out Day as the backup Center, can also play Guard, so he stays. Pankey has quietly shown well at both Tackle and Guard, makes it as the 9th OL. Amichia hasn't shown anything. Really sucks that Madison never reported (guessing he was rattled by the suicide of his college QB teammate). He may have emerged as our starting RG or third OT.
DEFENSE
DL (5)
Keep: Daniels, Clark, Wilkerson, Lowry, Adams
Cut: Lancaster, Sheehy, Mbu
PS: Looney (D7A)
Comments: No surprise on the five we keep. Adams looking like a good 3rd round pick. Packers may keep Sheehy or Lancaster over draft pick Looney for the PS.
LB (9)
Keep: OLB's Matthews (31), Perry, Gilbert, Fackrell, Biegel, Odom, ILBs Martinez, Burks (D3), Morrison
Cut: OLB Hughes, ILBs Hearns, Crawford
PS: OLB Donnerson (D7C), Martini
Injured Reserve: ILB Ryan
Comments: Morrison looks like a good player on the inside. On the outside, Gilbert the obvious #3, but Fackrell, Biegel and Odom have all been underwhelming. Could cut all 3, but can we find better anywhere? Donnerson and Martini have both flashed, so have them on the PS, but have either shown enough to warrant being on the 53?
DB (11)
Keep: CBs King, Williams (35), Alexander (D1), Jackson (D2), House, Goodson S's Clinton-Dix, Brice, Jones, Whitehead, Rollins
Cut: CB's Brown, Waters, Evans, Greene
PS: CB's Hawkins, Pipkins
Comments: King, Williams, Alexander, Jackson, House all looking good at CB. Biggest surprise for me has been Goodson, who like Jarrett Bush before him, I thought was a good Special Teams player who couldn't cover. But I think Goodson has looked very, very good the last two games -- and much better than either Hawkins or Pipkins. So I have the latter two going to the PS. Packers seem to really like Whitehead, so I think he's a lock for the fourth S slot. I have Rollins as a 5th, but he could easily be cut, is likely the 53rd ranked player of 53.
SPECIAL TEAMS (3)
Keep: PK Crosby (33), P Scott (D5B), LS Bradley (D7B)
Cut: LS Triner
Comments: Scott a bit inconsistent, but overall looking good. Not sure who's winning between Bradley and Triner.
