Final 53 man roster prediction

I am doing mine a bit differently.  I am dividing it by locks, players who should make the team, and bubble spots.


Star-divide

The following are locks to make the team:

QB - Young, Collins (2)

RB - Johnson, Hall, Ringer (3)

WR - Britt, Washington, Gage, Williams (4)

TE - Scaife, Cook, Stevens (3)

OL - Roos, Harris, Amano, Scott, Stewart, (5)

DL - Morgan, Brown, Jones, Hayes, Marks, Ford, (6)

LB - Tulloch, Curran, McGrath* (3)

DB - Finnegan, Griffin, Hope, McCourty, Verner, Fuller (6)

ST - Kern, Bironas, Amato (3)

So in my opinion, there are 35 locks, and 19 spots left (McGrath isn't included in the 53 man roster, but he will make the team).

I think the following should make the team, but are not locks:

RB - Blount (1)

WR - Mariani, Hawkins (2)

OL - Otto, Kropog (2)

DL - Haye, Babin (2)

LB - Witherspoon (1)

DB - Mouton, Johnson, Hill (3)

That is 11 more players.  This means there are 8 "bubble spots" available.  They will go to 8 of the following 23 players:

QB - R. Smith

RB - S. Gado, J. Collins, Pearman

WR - P. Williams, Edison

TE - Ryan, Pfahler

OL - Durand, Velasco, Matthews

DL - Ball, Bakhtiari, Brock, D. Howard

LB - Winborn, Trahan, Rivera, Allred, Keglar

DB - Schommer, Rolle, Nickey

 

I think the 8 will be Durand, Ball, Allred, Winborn, Keglar, Rivera, Rolle, Nickey.  I think either Winborn, Rivera, or Keglar will be dropped when McGrath comes back.

I think Rusty doesn't make it and is sent to the PS, and we keep 2 active QB's.  If something happens to Collins or Young, then we can either promoto Rusty, or sign Simms or another vet who knows our system (Ramsey?).

I would bet money that he makes the team. When is the last time we cut a 3rd round draft pick?

Is it strange that I wish we still had Ben Hartsock?

Heck yeah he is a lock

I would say Hawkins is a lock too

He has totally changed my opinion

I couldn't decide if he was a lock or not

But I put him just beneath lock to cover my ass

Hawk, Witherspoon and Mariani are all locks

Especially Witherspoon. He is the starter.

Mariani should make the team, and I would be very surprised if he is cut....

But no 7th round draft pick from a small school is a lock to make this team.
I agree that Witherspoon should start, and seems like a lock, I just can’t be sure about him because he hasn’t exactly wowed us in the preseason, and we don’t know a lot about his character.

A small school 7th rounders is a lock

when he has proven to be a trustworthy return man coming off a season where it can be argued that you were a return man away from a playoff berth.

(I don’t think that is true, but I could argue it.)

Gado will be cut

Why put him on our roster for week 1 when that means we have to pay him for the entire year.
He isn’t a need. He is a 3rd RB at best who plays minimal special teams.
If we need him, we will resign him during week 2 or 3. It’s not like teams will be eager to snatch him up.

Witherspoon, Nickey, and Mouton are "locks"...

and Chris Simms didn’t get cut ( yet), but when he does, I hope we NEVER EVER have to call him to come back in. If he knows the system, then he’s worse than I thought.

You must be a locksmith

because your perspective on the roster is pretty loose and general.

Here are the 8 that I have making it out of your 23 player bubble.

QB – R. Smith
TE – Ryan
OL – Velasco
DL – Ball
LB – Winborn, Allred, Keglar
DB – Nickey

Practice Squad:
LeGarrette Blount, Dominique Edison, Ryan Durand, Kevin Matthews, David Howard, Eric Bakhtiari, Myron Rolle, Schommer.

Looks like a lot of hard decisions are going to me made especially at Safety and D-End. Btw Mouton should be on your bubble spots because I wouldn’t be too surprised to see him get cut. Currently he is the 4th CB but with Fuller being the nickel-back it means he wont see the field in dime situations.
