Packers 53-man roster predictions ahead of final preseason game
Offensive line (9)
David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga, Corey Linsley, Lane Taylor, Justin McCray, Jason Spriggs, Adam Pankey, Dillon Day, Lucas Patrick
Outside of the five starters, it’s difficult to predict which offensive linemen will make the roster. For now, I have Jason Spriggs making the roster ahead of Kyle Murphy and Byron Bell. Adam Pankey and Lucas Patrick also offer solid depth, while Dillon Day has shown he can step in at center should Corey Linsley go down.
This is a hard one to predict as the Packers could go in a number of directions. It will be difficult to keep any more than nine offensive linemen, but they will need as much depth as possible.
Defensive line (5)
Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Muhammad Wilkerson, Dean Lowry, Montravius Adams
Due to the talent the Packers have along the defensive line, five players should be more than enough. This is one of the most exciting position groups on the entire roster.
Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark were both excellent in 2017, but they are now joined by Pro Bowler Muhammad Wilkerson. I’m excited to see these three working together in the regular season.
With Dean Lowry and Montravius Adams providing depth, there is a lot to love about this defensive line. If they stay healthy, this line can be one of the best in the league, especially with Mike Pettine at defensive coordinator.
Depth may be an issue at outside linebacker, but the strength of this defensive line will help the pass rush.
