The Way Too Early 53 Man Roster Prediction Thread...


Bronn

Recommended Posts

Really REALLY hoping we don't go into the season with only those 3 tackles.  Sadly I'd give it a 50 - 60% chance right now of happening.  I'm not optimistic re: Michael Oher...

I too doubt we keep 6 WR + Webb.   If anything, I'd suggest we'd keep another FB over a 6th WR.  We might want Darrel Young and Armah while Armah is learning the ropes.  DG admitted he's a project.  Remember the guy hasn't played FB since HS.  But if we really like him, we might stash him on the 53 instead of the PS.

This is my take. I think we'll definitely have 4 OT's on the roster whether Oher is healthy or not. I personally think he will be back. In order to keep 4 OT's I got rid of the 6th WR, which is fine considering we have CMC (see Jeremy's article from today). I also added another LB spot and got rid of a Safety spot. We have lots of talented LBs and wouldn't get rid of one for a mediocre at best backup Safety. Also, we definitely won't be keeping 3 slot corners. Sanchez is as good as gone unless Corn is really awful. I don't see us cutting Lee after he took a salary cut and while we drafted Butker I don't think he will beat out Gano in TC.

If it shakes out this way I'd be very concerned with CB depth on the outside. 

Cap'n, Corn the Elder and Dirty Sanchez would struggle mightily if Bradberry's toe acts up again. 

Im thinking Zach to PS again and an outside CB is brought in for depth purposes. 

Agree with other posters that we go in with 5 WR. Ross is off the list and Oher is back on it. 

Lee over Palardy, Gano over Butt Kicker and there ya have it.

I think I agree nearly 100% with the changes you've made.

Why on earth would we keep 6 Linebackers, when use the nickel 70% of the time? and we play in the most pass heavy division in football. This isn't the 1960s

 

Boulware is not even that good.

Special Teams probably

just last year in 2016 we had 7 LB on our 53 man roster...

will probably have to cut one of our picks from last year by the name of Sanchez since we already have a log jam at nickleback
