With the completion of the 2014 NFL Draft and the subsequent undrafted free agent signings we now (probably) know the 90 players that the Packers are going to go to camp with.  This means we can really start thinking (and get excited) about next season.  One of the realizations that I came to after this draft is how deep and talented this roster is.  There are good football players who are absolutely not going to make this team.  I would anticipate that there are good football players that are not going to make this team that won’t sneak on to the practice squad either.  I honestly haven’t looked at a roster from top to bottom and been this excited since the 2011 preseason right before the Packers won 15 regular season games.

What I’m going to do now (and will not do again for some time) is make my prediction for the 53 man roster.  I will not project the practice squad until we get in to the preseason and I have actually seen the young players play and researched their progress in training camp.  Projected starters are underlined.
