Uh-huh.  I knew as soon as I posted a depth-chart someone with better 
info than me would post a bunch of corrections.  I waited and waited 
for someone post a depth-chart but NOOOOO.  :-)

Can you believe that guy?

Flanker?  Must be a misprint or they're using last year's depth chart. 
Lindy used a flanker. :-)

These two guys and Noble are the only holdouts that concern me.

Can you believe THIS guy?  Somebody ought to tell these guys they 
might not even make the team.

>TE:  Ed West, then Jackie Harris (both holdouts)

Harris will sign soon.  He made only $100K last year.  That's probably 
the source of the problem.  The Packers will give him a big raise to 
make up for it.

TV reports that Tuaolo is out of shape.  He's also lighter than they'd 
like.

I don't think Brown really has much chance.

Archambeau's unsigned.

Really.

I put ** behind the names of player that I think would be wise to sign 
soon or they may be out of a job.  I put * by the names of players 
that the Packers better get signed soon.
