Do we have the worst 53 man roster in football?

TJ Lang and Dietrich-Smith are both guards.

Meredith, while listed as a T/G on the Pack's roster was battling for the backup RT spot with Beano Giocomini.

He's not a guy that I would work on the left side, and he doesn't have the tools to play on the interior.

And I still am not understanding what exactly you were trying to say if you weren't trying to say that his cut is proof that he is not as good as Brown.

Lang played tackle in college: 10 on the right side and 26 on the left side.

I'm aware of that, and he may well end up playing some tackle in the NFL, but his best position coming into the NFL was at guard.

Meredith is more the prototypical RT.

They weren't competing for the same position.

I'm pretty sure the Packers had been working Meredith exclusively on the left side. He was their third-string LT behind Clifton and Tony Moll, and I remember reading a few different things about how they hoped to eventually groom him to replace Clifton.

The interesting thing is the Packers traded Moll yesterday, so in theory Meredith should have become the primary backup (though in reality they'd probably slide the guard over as they've done before). But I think that was the thought among a lot of Packers fans, that the trade for Moll was creating a roster spot for Meredith. But he got cut anyway.
