The Packers 2016 AND The 53 Man Roster?

One of the exciting things about a new year is predicting who will make the team!  40-45 players EASY, the final 10 or so, NOT EASY!  I have been doing this the past few years & here is what I have noticed about the Thompson/McCarthy Era:

1 - Draft choices usually make the team
2 - previous starters usually make the team
3 - 2-3 un-drafted free agents usually make the team
4 - After summer camp, we always have 2-3 on the injured reserve or PUP list

So, where are my predictions at so far?

My 53 man Packer roster:
OFFENSE
QB(2) - Aaron Rodgers & Brett Hundley
FB(1) - Aaron Ripkowski
RB(3) - Eddie Lacy, James Starks & Josh Crockett
TE(3) - Jared Cook, Richard Rodgers, and Justin Perillo
WR(6) - Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davonte Adams, Jared Abbrederis, Ty Montgomery, Trevor Davis
OL(9) - David Bahktiari, Brian Bulaga, Josh Sitton, TJ Lang, Corey Lindsley, JC Tretter
Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy, & Lane Taylor

SPECIAL TEAMS
Kicker(1) - Mason Crosby
Long Snapper(1) - Rick Lovato
Punter (1)- Tim Masthay

DEFENSE
DL(6) - Mike Daniels, Leroy Guion, Kenny Clark, Mike Pennel(is suspended for 4 games), Datone Jones, Dean Lowry, & Chris Ringo (NOT counting Pennel, because suspended)
Inside Linebackers(4): Sam Barrington, Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez, and Lerentee McCray.

So far, I am at 38 players - the defensive backs & outside linebackers to come!
