My 53 would look something like this:
Quarterback (2)
IN: Jordan Love, Sean Clifford
By far one of the easiest decisions for Gute. They will have a shot to sign McGough or any other cut QB, to the PS.
Running back (2)
IN: Aaron Jones, A.J. Dillon
PS: Patrick Taylor, Tyler Goodson or Emanuel Wilson (2 of the 3).
I can't imagine a world where all 3 of those guys get plucked off waivers. At least 1 will be there to put on the PS. I think all 3 bring different elements, I prefer Wilson.
Wide receiver (6)
IN: Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Samori Toure, Dontayvion Wicks, Malik Heath
PS: Hopefully DuBose doesn't get picked up, he just hasn't been healthy enough to have a great feel for. Maybe the Packers love him and keep 7 WR's.
Tight end (3)
IN: Luke Musgrave*, Tucker Kraft*, Josiah Deguara
PS: Tyler Davis's season ending injury hurt depth here. Austin Allen should clear waivers, pick him up or any other cut TE. Too many other guys I would give that spot to than Allen or even Pearson(FB).
Offensive line (9)
IN: David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan Jr., Zach Tom, Rasheed Walker, Sean Rhyan, Yosh Nijman, Caleb Jones
PS: Jake Hanson, Caleb Jones and any 2 of Jean Delance, James Empey, Cole Schneider, Kadeem Telfort, Luke Tenuta
The Packers have a lot of depth at OL, since many of them can play multiple positions. I would like to see a stronger OL, but I am not as worried about them as many are. They will come together and be one of the top 10 in the NFL, barring injuries.
Defensive line (5-6)
IN: Kenny Clark, T.J. Slaton, Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, Colby Wooden
BUBBLE: Jonathan Ford
PS: Chris Slayton, Antonio Moultrie
I like Ford, but would rather they keep Brenton Cox at OLB, if it came down to the 2 players.
Outside linebacker (6)
IN: Preston Smith, Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, JJ Enagbare, Justin Hollins, Brenton Cox
PS: Arron Mosby, Keshawn Banks, Kenneth Odumegwu (free spot).
I think one of the strongest positions on the Packers. Gute might even try to swing a trade of 1 of the top 6 to a needy team. I will be livid if they cut Cox and he gets claimed.
Inside linebacker (5)
IN: De'Vondre Campbell, Quay Walker, Eric Wilson, Isaiah McDuffie, Tariq Carpenter
PS: Marvin Pierre, Jimmy Phillips Jr.
Carpenter being switched to ILB isn't a glowing endorsement for him, but he is a good special teams guy and that keeps him on the 53.
Cornerback (5)
IN: Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas, Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, Innis Gaines
PUP: Eric Stokes,
PS: Kiondre Thomas, Corey Ballentine
Stokes will probably start the season on the PUP. Which means maybe Gaines, Thomas or Ballentine temporally get that 5th spot. This could also be a place where Gute rolls the dice, only keeps 4 and signs 3 to the PS.
Safety (5-6)
IN: Darnell Savage, Jonathan Owens, Tarvarius Moore, Rudy Ford, Dallin Leavitt
BUBBLE: Anthony Johnson Jr.
PS: Benny Sapp III
AJ Jr. has been looking better and its a weak and thin group, so maybe he is kept. That said, I think Gute goes out and gets another S for the roster, after cutdowns.
Special Teams (3)
IN: Anders Carlson (K), Pat O'Donnell (P), Matt Orzech (LS)
PS: Broughton Hatcher, Daniel Whelan
Whelan has a lot of potential, but I think they stick to the Vet and try to stash a 2nd punter on the PS.
