Green Bay Packers’ mandatory minicamp has now come and gone, and there is only one week left of OTAs before the team departs until late July, when training camp is scheduled to begin.

While, of course, anything at this time of the year should be taken with a grain of salt — they are still padless, after all — the observations made during these OTA and minicamp practices aren’t completely meaningless either.

Where a player is lined up, how many snaps they are taking, and whether they are with the first, second, or third teams, among other things, all provides us with a little bit of extra insight.

So now equipped with some additional info after several practices, I’ve put together my post-minicamp roster prediction for the Green Bay Packers.

Quarterback (2): Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love

There really isn’t too much to say about this position. It’s not as if Jordan Love is going to be traded at this point and the roster spot could be better utilized elsewhere than on a third quarterback.

Running back (3): Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, and Patrick Taylor

PUP List: Kylin Hill

Perhaps this is a position where the Green Bay Packers decide to keep four running backs, but at this point, I don’t see that being necessary. With Kylin Hill still recovering from an ACL injury, I’ll just assume for the time being that he begins the season on the PUP list. Once he returns, Matt LaFleur and Co. will then have a decision to make.

I chose Patrick Taylor over UDFA rookies Tyler Goodson and BJ Baylor because of his experience, as he now enters his third season with the team, and he is also just a tremendous fit for LaFleur’s offense with his ability as both a pass-catcher and a blocker.
