Don't trust anyone predicting the Green Bay Packers 53 man roster. Every year general manager Ted Thompson cuts down below 53 players to either add someone through waivers or through a trade.

There's no reason to think the Packers won't do it again this year. Thompson, after all, has had success doing so.

Last year he brought in phenomenal running back Ryan Grant into Green Bay via trade with the New York Giants. It's doubtful the team will ever have that much success again in a trade.  However, most waiver claims have been productive players.

Thompson has cherry picked players from waivers like John Kuhn, Charlie Peprah and Jarrett Bush. All are currently with the Packers, and all have contributed. There have even been other instances like offensive lineman Tony Palmer who also contributed to the team before being injured.

If we know Thompson is actually going to cut down below 53 players, what positions are those cuts going to come from? Our guess here is at tight end and along the defensive line.

Here's your guess at a 51 man roster. Then expect Thompson to fill in the rest of the holes by Sunday or Monday with some waiver claims or trades. Am I going to be right? Probably not. But then again, I emplore you to find anyone that predicts the 53 man roster perfectly. I'll give them a cookie.

Of course, there may be one reason everybody else will be right and I'll be wrong. And that's because this is the deepest team yet under Ted Thompson. The Packers may go with the thinking that they won't find any other NFL castoffs that are better than what they already have. Oh well. Here's a blind stab at things.
