Each year, immediately after the draft, I like to take the time to take the first crack at the 53-man roster. That is, after all, the 53 men who will suit up with the goal of bringing Green Bay's 5th Lombardi trophy home. There are a few difficult decisions to make this season, and I don't envy the front office or the coaching staff. Starters are in bold. Rookies are italicized.
