Before the season began, we did our annual best and worst case scenarios for the entire Packer training camp roster. It's fun to take a look back and see how we did. First we'll take a look back at what we wrote before the season, and then give our take after the season. It's kind of our version of post-season assessment.

• Donald Lee -- One of the more underrated tight ends in the NFL, the Packers really showed how much they valued Lee last season when in the regular season finale, they put Lee on the inactive list after they had already clinched a first round bye. Joining Lee on the inactive list: Pro Bowl players Aaron Kampman, Donald Driver, Charles Woodson and Al Harris. Other inactives included crucial players like Greg Jennings and Ryan Pickett. That's some good company. Best case scenario, Lee gets to join the players he sat out with last season as Pro Bowlers. He's not a Pro Bowl starter yet, but he could be a reserve. Worst case, Lee starts but shows it might be time to hand the reigns over to Jermichael Finley in a year's time.

Lee: Somewhere inbetween. If it wasn't for his slow start at the beginning of the year, things could be a little bit different. Based upon the second half of the season only, Lee had as good a year as most NFL tight ends. Part of the blame could fall on Aaron Rodgers who threw to the tight ends less than his predecessor accounting for some of the lack of production. At least for now Lee goes into 2009 as the starting tight end.

• Jermichael Finley -- The Packers made Finley a third round draft choice because they value his potential. He won't be a starter just yet, but he could be eventually with some work. For a person jumping to the pro game after only two years in college, it was thought he might show some immaturity. So far, Finley has shown maturity enough to work hard at blocking during training camp, one of the weaker aspects of his game. Best case, Finley grabs ahold of the top backup job and becomes a receiving threat by scoring multiple touchdowns in his rookie year. Worst case, he proves he's not yet ready for primetime when he's consistently the third tight end and may even become a gameday inactive.

Finley: Worst case. Finley was considered the third tight end for the majority of the season. There were a handful of games when he was inactive especially early in the season. But he became a gameday regular soon enough by becoming a special teams contributor as well as on offense. Unfortunately, a little complaining on his part got him in the doghouse with the coaching staff. The final couple games of the season, Finley started to show his worth as an athletic receiver so there's some hope for the future.

• Tory Humphrey -- After spending two seasons mostly injured, Humphrey is at a crossroads. Either he makes the team or he's on his way out. Best case, Humphrey shows reliability enough to become the Packers' top backup to Lee. In such a case, Humphrey becomes a reliable receiver that can stretch the seam. Worst case, Humphrey continues to have nagging injuries like the one that kept him out of yesterday's practice. Or he makes mental mistakes that helped lead to a Brian Brohm interception in the preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Such costly incidents make Humphrey expendable.

Humphey: Best case. Even though he reached his best case scenario, please notice that expectations were not very high. He was the top backup at tight end all season long, and he was able to stretch the seam as evidenced by his average amount of yards per catch. The problem is, he didn't have nearly enough catches to prove more effective. At least Humphrey stayed healthy all season long, but he's got a long way to go.

• Joey Haynos -- The former Maryland Terrapin has intriguing size that makes him both a threat to catch balls high above defenders in the redzone and as a blocker in the running game. But is he talented enough to stick around? Best case, Haynos impresses the Packers enough to keep around as the No. 3 tight end when they realize the big guy has more blocking value than the other tight ends on the roster. Worst case, Haynos loses the battle to Evan Moore either on the 53 man roster or on the practice squad.

Haynos: Somewhere inbetween. Haynos was valuable enough to keep on the Packers' practice squad, but the Dolphins signed him to their 53-man roster. Good for Haynos. He went to a playoff team.

• Evan Moore -- As a former college wide receiver, Moore has showed some fluidity in his route running which has made him a receiving threat. But he's in the same boat as Haynos. Is he talented enough to stick around? Or can the Packers find better options on the waiver wire when other teams across the NFL cut down to 53 players. Best case, the Packers keep Moore as their No. 3 man. Worst case, Moore is cut when the Packers think either Haynos or some other team's outcast is more valuable.

Moore: Somewhere inbetween. He was put on injured reserve before the season even began. The Packers kept him there all season, so they must see some value in him. He'll probably be in training camp next year.
