The QBS

The Green Bay Packers named their 53 man roster on Tuesday and to some surprise to me the Packers are going with a 2 QB room this season with the cuts to Sean Clifford and Taylor Elgersma, after clearing waivers neither player ended up being signed to the practice roster. Jordan Love is the number one without question, the interesting “battle” would’ve been for second on the depth chart but it was made clear that spot would be Malik Willis. Taylor Elgersma was a interesting preseason candidate to remain with the Packers at least on the practice roster, the Canadian was impressive leaping over Clifford in the chart by week 2 of the preseason and engineering 3 scoring drives against the Colts, going 7/11 109 yards. He has options including returning to Canada with the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The RBs

The RB discussion is an interesting one to me with Josh Jacobs, if he can continue being a power back with elusive ability he will be a key to opening up defenses and when they creep up to stop him it opens up Love to throw downfield over the linebackers.

The WRs

The most interesting position for the Packers is the receivers core, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Romeo Doubs are listed as the starters with Christian Watson on the PUP List to begin the season. Matthew Golden looks to become a household name after being drafted 23rd overall in this years draft after leading the SEC in receiving touchdowns at the University of Texas. It’s safe to say he may have made Mecole Hardman expendable as cut down day occurred. The depth of the receiving room isn’t as strong to start the season until Christian Watson returns and is a threat once again.
