Using Jersey Al’s excellent roster printout which PA was kind enough to post, here is what I think the roster will look like. You will notice that with TT’s drafting of hybrid back players I believe the move is being made to switch over from traditional FBs to the hybrid back. This should bolster ST play by increasing speed, size, and strength. Hopefully no more 74 yard kick returns by lineman. Swain versus Robinson and West for the last roster spot at WR will be a great one to watch. Swain is a FA but GB is his best place to stick. The last item is Nick Barnett. You will notice I placed him on P/UP. He is coming off an season ending injury and as much as we think he has value it is diminished. With him on P/UP he can continue to heal and GB can wait until week 6-9 to bring him back onto the roster. Depending on injuries he might be the shoot in the arm GB needs to stay in the hunt to repeat. I see minimal depth behind Hawk and Bishop on the inside.
