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.

• Chad Clifton -- The left tackle finally got a Pro Bowl nod last season, but he's getting up there in age. As is my opinion, NFL players (especially offensive linemen) get Pro Bowl nods long after they're due. But once they go to the Pro Bowl once, they're likely to keep going if they play at a halfway decent level. The coaching staff gives Clifton plenty of time off, and Clifton himself has done a nice job of staying injury free ever since his serious hip injury at the hands of Warren Sapp. He's getting up there in age, and there's no better time for Clifton to get a Super Bowl ring than now before his play begins to decline. Best case, Clifton maintains his high level of play this season, has a career low in penalties, and gives up few sacks while protecting Aaron Rodger's backside. Worst case, Clifton's play has the Packers drafting the left tackle of the future in the first round of next year's draft.

Clifton: Worst case. It's possible the Packers will be looking to draft a left tackle of the future with their first round draft choice, especially if they address the defensive line through free agency. Clifton had a poor season. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. He went from Pro Bowl to not deserving to start in the span of one year. He's had a great career for the Packers, but it's time for the team to move on. Thanks for what you've done Chad.

• Mark Tauscher -- The bookend tackle on the right side is just about in the same boat as Clifton. Can he play at a high level for yet another year before his performance starts to fade. As one of the most underrated players in the NFL, it's about time Tauscher is recognized for some post-season honors. Remember how he manhandled Patrick Kerney in the playoffs last year? Best case, Tauscher stops premiere pass rushers cold in their tracks while he finally gets that elusive Pro Bowl berth. Worst case, Tauscher has the same solid season he's always had and fails to get recognized for his play once again.

Tauscher: Worst case. While not faring as poorly as Clifton, Tauscher didn't exactly wow anyone either. His season ending knee injury was an unfortunate way to stop his season. Although the injury may actually have helped the Packers sign Tauscher this offseason. As an unrestricted free agent, he certainly would have seen more money while not being injured. It would be tough for the Packers to groom two tackles in one season, so expect at least either Tauscher or Clifton back.

• Scott Wells -- Being undersized, you always wonder if the Packers wouldn't be better off with another center if they could find a good one. But Wells is an overachiever and continues to put together solid seasons and making finding another center through free agency too expensive to be cost effective. Best case, Wells gets over his current injury problems and starts all 16 games. Worst case, Wells' play makes the Packer think about moving Spitz over to center fulltime.

Wells: Somewhere inbetween. Even though Wells has recovered from his preseason injuries, he didn't go on to start all 16 games. He's always been known as a guy that maximizes his potential. The problem is that the ceiling is pretty low for Wells. You're probably not going to see any better play from him, but you're probably also not going to see any worse.

• Jason Spitz -- In each of Spitz's first three years as a pro, there's always talk of competition at the starting guard spots along the offensive line. But every year, Spitz seems to grab ahold of a spot and makes any sort of competition null very early on in the going. In a week's time, he's got a starting job all wrapped up. Best case, Spitz elevates his play to a new level, which has people calling Green Bay possible one of the NFL's best offensive lines. Worst case, Spitz's play declines when the team constantly juggles him between both guard spots and center.

Spitz: Somewhere inbetween. I wouldn't say Spitz's play declined this season, but it certainly didn't get any better. The Packers are getting the same thing from Spitz they got in the '07 season and the '06 season for that matter as well. Only a three year NFL veteran, he seems to have stagnated. His versatility to bounce around all the interior line spots helps his cause, it's hard to tell if he'd be any better than Josh Sitton by next season.

• Josh Sitton -- Sitton's play has been one of the most pleasant surprises during training camp. Even if he doesn't end up becoming a starter, at least the Packers have a promising player that might develop into a starter in the coming years. Best case, Sitton improves upon his up-and-down play in the first preseason game to lock down the starting job all season long at right guard. Worst case, Sitton is the team's No. 6 offensive linemen, which makes him first off the bench.

Sitton: Somewhere inbetween. Sitton got a starting job near the end of the season thanks to Tauscher's knee injury. There are a lot of people out there who think Sitton is the future of the offensive line. He more of a bruiser, drive blocker than nearly anyone else along the line. And that's a good thing for those people that detest the zone blocking scheme. It would benefit the Packers to run behind Sitton in third-and-one situations in the upcoming years.

• Daryn Colledge -- Colledge is one ball of confusion. He always seems like he's one bad performance from riding the pine. But he keeps ending up in the starting lineup. One moment he's not good enough to start at left guard, but the next moment the team is grooming him to be the left tackle of the future. Best case, Colledge finds a way to get a starting spot whether it's at left guard, right guard, or even left tackle in an injury situation. He has his best NFL season so far. Worst case, Colledge rarely gets off the bench but is still on each gameday's 45 man active roster.

Colledge: Best case. He met his best case scenario, but the bar wasn't set very high. Colledge was able to beat out Allen Barbre for a starting spot, but that may say more about Barbre than it does about Colledge. He had a good season, but he did nothing to show that he's a future All-Pro. We're still looking for a real break-out season from this second round draft pick.

• Allen Barbre -- Things were looking good for Barbre when he only had to compete with Colledge for a starting spot. Now that Sitton has emerged, he now has to compete with College and Spitz for a job. Just a side note, there's no reason Barbre can't become an integral member of several special teams squads considering he was a gunner on his college's punt team. Best case, Barbre gets the starting job at left guard when the Packers realize they're better off with Spitz instead of Sitton at right guard. Worst case, he rides the pine.

Barbre: Worst case. Fans, and I'm assuming the Packers organization, was disappointed by the progress made by Barbre. Everyone was hoping he'd take a big step in his sophomore season, but it didn't happen. Barbre played sparingly on offense a handful of times, mostly because of injury. And there were even times when he was made a gameday inactive. This upcoming season is already at a make or break point for Barbre.

• Junius Coston -- Even though Coston is technically the backup center, the coaches have realized they're much better off with Spitz if something ever happens to Wells. That doesn't bode well for Coston who could end up being cut if he's no better than a third string player. Best case, Coston grabs the final roster spot for an offensive lineman giving him job security for at least another season. Worst case, Coston finds himself on the NFL waiver wire.

Coston: Worst case. Coston was cut, and I haven't heard about him since.

• Breno Giacomini -- It's hard to believe Giacomini will see any playing time this year unless a slew of injuries come upon the team. But he just might be good enough to keep around and groom as a potential starter down the line. Best case, Giacomini makes the 53 man roster but ends up being a gameday inactive a majority of the time. Worst case, the Packers lose the mammoth right tackle entirely when they try to stash him on the practice squad but another team picks him up off waivers.

Giacomini: Best case. His best case scenario was exactly what happened to the big guy. If memory serves me correctly, Giacomini played in one game this past season, all on special teams. With Tauscher recovering from injury, he'll get every chance to capture the starting spot at right tackle next season.

• Tony Moll -- Moll has had an inconsistent training camp at best. For a guy that was a starter at times during his rookie year despite being mainly a college tight end, you'd think that he would have had a bright NFL future ahead of him. Best case, Moll is the 53rd of 53 players the Packers decide to keep. He's on the fence more than perhaps any player on the team. Worst case, the Packers cut ties with the once promising player.

Moll: Somewhere inbetween. Moll had his chance to prove his worth when Tauscher went down, but he dropped the ball. The plays with a lot of effort and intensity, but sometimes that works against him. He had way too many penalties for the amount of time that he played. And it just seems like he doesn't have as much talent as the player he lines up across from.

• Orrin Thompson -- The good news for Thompson is that the Packers decided Moll wasn't good enough to play left tackle. The bad news, Thompson is still the third string left tackle at best. Best case, the Packers for some reason decide to keep 10 offensive linemen among their 53 and Thompson is one of them. Worst case, the next time you hear Orrin's name will be because some announcer will mention that he one time played on the same team as his brother Jeremy.

Thompson: Worst case. Unfortunately, Orrin will probably only be known as Jeremy's older brother from here on out.

• Brennen Carvalho -- No player on the team has taken advantage of his situation more than Carvalho who's seen plenty of playing time with both Wells and Coston sitting out with injuries at one time or another. Best case, the Packers decide they better have a pure center on the practice squad in case of emergency when they cut Coston. Worst case, the 2008 training camp is the one and only chance Carvalho would get to play in the NFL.

Carvalho: Best case. The Packers kept him as an insurance policy on the practice squad. Expect Carvalho to be back in training camp next season, especially since they're thing at center.

• Ryan Considine -- There was a time when the Packers had Considine playing ahead of Giacomini at right tackle. That experiment has since ended, but he must have flashed something. Best case, the Packers ask him to be on the practice squad. Worst case, his name won't register with Packer fans a month from now.

Considine: Worst case. His name doesn't register with anyone now.

• Ryan Keenan -- A practice squad body. He's there for depth and to keep starters from overworking themselves. Best case, he escapes the first round of cuts. Worst case, he puts his college education to use (it's sad when that's a worst case scenario, huh?).

Keenan: Worst case. We can only hope he's putting his college education to use.
