![]() It’s not necessarily a bad group, but there’s not a lot of receiving value in the room right now. Tight Ends (4) Marcedes Lewis, Josiah Deguara, Tyler Davis, Dominique DafneyĪnalysis: Working on the assumption that Robert Tonyan starts the season on the PUP list, this is one of the easier groups to forecast. He’s a better athlete than Winfree and a better receiver than Taylor, so the Packers will bet on his special teams acumen and go from there. If the Packers want to try to get by with less than seven, Toure probably gets the ax, but I think he’s comfortably ahead of both Juwann Winfree and Malik Taylor. Doubs would be a lock but for the depth chart ahead of him, though he’ll make it. Rodgers is probably safe, too, given his draft pedigree, but I’m sure the Packers wouldn’t mind if someone made their decision there easy. Wide Receivers (7): Allen Lazard, Christian Watson, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers, Romeo Doubs, Samori ToureĪnalysis: Lazard, Watson, and Cobb are locks to make it, and Watkins isn’t far behind. I’m assuming Kylin Hill starts the season on the PUP list, but once he’s healthy the Packers will have an interesting decision to make. Taylor has practice squad value and I’m sure the Packers would love to stash him there again, if possible. ![]() I think he’s a more dynamic athlete and he’s got better hands. Running Backs (3): Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Tyler GoodsonĪnalysis: Jones and Dillons are locks, and I like Goodson a little bit better than Patrick Taylor. He’s likely headed to the practice squad. Kurt Benkert is a nice depth piece, but there are plenty of guys like him around. Quarterbacks (2): Aaron Rodgers, Jordan LoveĪnalysis: This is pretty much a no brainer. Here’s my best guess at who the Packers will keep for their initial 53-man roster. There’s a lot we won’t get right, but there’s a lot we can know right now, too. Yes, it’s a fraught proposition in May, but that’s kind of the point. That means we can take a reasonable shot at predicting the Packers’ roster. The talent isn’t going to substantively change. Yes, they could still add veteran help at wide receiver or in the secondary, but the players they’ve got now are more or less the guys they’re going to roll with for 2022. The 90 players on the Packers’ roster right now likely won’t be the 90 who line up for their first practice of training camp.īut even with those impending changes, the Packers roster is functionally set. Heck, plenty is going to change between now and the Packers’ first preseason game. Plenty is going to change between now and Week 1.
