Would you rather see Lane Taylor starting at guard over Billy Turner?For this exercise, I tried my hand to as realistically as possible craft what I could see the final roster looking like to start the regular reason.Any armchair quarterback or beer fridge general manager can try and outdo each other building the best possible 53-man roster, plus 10 player practice squad, while sticking to the NFL salary cap.In keeping with recent tradition of only two quarterbacks on the roster, it was an easy decision to cut Boyle, who is ineligible for the practice squad.I made some hard cuts but will explain my decisions and give some reasoning as to why some fan favorites aren’t on the team.Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are locks to make the roster, while I gave the edge for the final spot to Tyler Ervin over Jamaal Williams based solely on his value as a return man.Billy Turner was close to the chopping block as a way to trim salary, but I just didn’t see it happening in the second year of a large multiyear free-agent contract.Instead, Lane Taylor and his nearly $6 million salary was sent packing along with former 53-man/practice squad staples Cole Madison and Lucas Patrick. It’s curtains for the Tim Boyle Laser Show.This is the only change in terms of last year’s position numbers: going with one less running back to instead gain an extra offensive lineman.The goal is to whittle down the Packers' offseason roster to what fans could reasonably see come September, or just have a wild roster with two running backs and eight receivers.
