The rookies are in and James Starks might be out!

Now that the Packers have cut the roster from 90 down to 75, it is time to predict who will be on the 53 man opening day roster. 22 players will be cut OR added to the ever growing number of players on the Injured Reserve and Physically Unable to Preform lists!

ALL 8 OF THE 2012 PACKER DRAFT CHOICES WILL MAKE THIS TEAM

The biggest name that I expect to NOT make the 53 man roster is Running Back James Starks:
He has just not been able to get better at ball protection and has not been able to stay healthy. Thank You for helping us win the 2010 Superbowl but goodbye James Starks.

The Quarterback situation is not good and a trade might be in the works. For now, all three are still on the roster and expect Graham Harrell to get most of the playing time on Thursday night. I think B.J. Coleman should get a lot of playing time as well to make his case. The Packers would like to go with just 2 here but I think the 7th round pick and #3 QB B.J. Coleman needs to be active until whomever the #2 Quarterback is going to be, is ready to play!

So here is my prediction of the 2012 Green Bay Packers 53 man opening day roster:

5WR: Jennings, Nelson, Cobb, Jones, Driver
4TE: Finley, Williams, Crabtree, Taylor
8OL: Bulaga, Sitton, Saturday, Lang, Newhouse, Dietrich-Smith, Wells, Datko
3QB: Rodgers, Harrell (or someone else), Coleman
5RB: Benson, Green, Saine, Kuhn, Cooper
7DL: Pickett, Worthy, Raji, Daniels, Wilson, Muir, Neal
8LB: Matthews, Hawk, Smith, Perry, Walden, Moses, Francois, Manning
10 DB: Woodson, Williams, Burnett, Hayward, McMillian, Jennings, House, Bush, Levine, Shields
3 Specialists: K Crosby, P Masthay, LS Goode
