Based on the offseason the Bears have had so far, Mike McCarthy’s team will need to play well if they plan on making the perfect start to the new season.

Green Bay 53-man roster predictions following the draft (Lombardi Ave)

It’s never too early to predict the roster. With the draft in the books, I made my predictions for Green Bay’s final 53-man roster. For now, I have the team keeping seven wide receivers, including all three draft picks.
