At final cuts last year, the Green Bay Packers released seven past draft picks and placed three others on injured reserve, eventually waiving all three.

The idea here: GM Brian Gutekunst will cut a draft pick if a better player wins the roster spot during the summer.

Here are a few past draft picks who could be on the roster bubble to start training camp:

DB Josh Jones (Round 2, No. 61 – 2017)

Already unhappy with his playing time in 2018, Jones watched the Packers rebuild the depth chart at his position by signing Adrian Amos and drafting Darnell Savage this offseason. His response was to skip OTAs in hopes of forcing a trade. It didn’t happen, and a hamstring injury held him out of mandatory minicamp. Jones may still get his ticket out of Green Bay, especially if the Packers like what they see from Raven Greene in the hybrid linebacker/safety position during camp. GM Brian Gutekunst probably wouldn’t keep an unhappy player who wants to leave and lacks a role.

K Mason Crosby (6.193, 2007)

Sam Ficken isn’t in Green Bay for show. There’s a legitimate kicking competition, and Crosby will have to win it during camp to stick around for a 13th season. It may take a lot to displace Crosby, and there’s no doubting how risky it would be to send a generally reliable veteran packing when about a dozen teams are still scrambling for kicker help. But if Ficken is the clear winner of the competition, wouldn’t the Packers have to make the change? Crosby ranks 33rd in the NFL in field goal percentage among kickers with at least 10 attempts over the last two seasons, and he missed too many big kicks last year.

WR Trevor Davis (5.163, 2016)

It’s now or never time for Davis, who has flashed special teams brilliance while simultaneously struggling to stay healthy and find a role on offense. Coach Matt LaFleur, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett all praised Davis’ improvements and big-play ability this offseason, but now it must carry over to camp. He’ll be competing in a deep position group that could play out in a thousand different combinations of players. Davis must use his speed and return ability to stick around for a fourth season in Green Bay.

G Cole Madison (5.138, 2018)

It would be a tremendous story if Madison can overcome a trying year away from football and earn a spot as a backup offensive lineman during training camp. The Packers liked his quick feet and versatility coming out of Washington State, and he’s now being cross-trained as a guard/center combo, but there’s no doubt he’ll face an uphill battle after taking a full season off. The Packers have plenty of experienced interior offensive linemen coming to camp, so Madison will have to be sharp throughout to win a job.

OT Jason Spriggs (2.48, 2016)

It will be interesting to see how the new staff views Spriggs, who is the only experienced backup offensive tackle on the roster currently. The former second-round pick has had three years and several chances to prove capable as a swing tackle. Will the light turn on to start Year 4 in a new system? Maybe a clean slate will do him some good. But if Alex Light, rookie Elgton Jenkins or any other young offensive tackle impresses during camp, Spriggs could be in trouble. This is a huge summer for him.

WR J’Mon Moore (4.133, 2018)

The Packers didn’t make a significant addition at receiver this offseason, but Moore is still on the roster bubble given the returning pass-catching depth. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison are locks behind Davante Adams, Jake Kumerow has the full trust of Aaron Rodgers, Equanimeous St. Brown played a bunch as a rookie and Trevor Davis is a bigger factor on special teams. Moore is talented, with the quickness and size to be a future starter, but it all needs to start coming together for him during camp.

OLB Kendall Donnerson (7.248, 2018)

The Packers added two high-priced free agents (Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith) and a first-round pick (Rashan Gary) at Donnerson’s position, complicating his path to the 53-man roster. While last year’s seventh-round pick has intriguing physical tools, he’s squarely on the roster bubble, especially with Kyler Fackrell and Reggie Gilbert more experienced and higher on the depth chart. Donnerson will need to really impress during camp to either jump Gilbert or tempt the Packers into keeping six or more edge rushers.

DL James Looney (7.232, 2018)

The Packers are deep, talented and versatile along the defensive line, and it’s likely at least one roster-caliber player is going to get cut because of numbers. It’s tough to see where Looney fits in, especially if Kingsley Keke emerges as a viable pass-rushing backup. Like Donnerson, Looney has some intriguing athletic gifts, but he’ll need to take a big step during his second training camp to stick around.
