Projected 53-man Roster

[adam]

With the draft and most UDFA's signed, using our pre-draft depth chart, I tried to figure out who makes the cut at 53. The biggest battles are at LB and CB, and who plays what on the DLINE. Nevertheless, it should be interesting. For simplicity sake, I plugged some guys in for only one position even though they can play multiple. Looking at this you can see why we did not draft a LB. Also, it looks like the low end of the roster turnover would be 33% and can get as high as 45% depending on which 53-man roster guys stick (I see about 6 at risk) and 18 new slots already filled.

 

What do you think, look about right?

That looks about right. I could see Terry Williams and John Timu making the team as UDFAs. They also gave safety Malcolm Brunson a 2 year deal, so I could also see him make the team.

 

Who they replace though? I really don't know.

Yeah, I was sort of projecting the 53-man, hard to see those guys making it over the current roster.
