Does Robert Rochell Make the Team?

OK, so we just signed this guy. He's got some experience. From a talent standpoint, I think this is a sneaky good signing. He plays gunner, one of the best, and he's also not a bad corner. He plays some slot and outside.

A guy like that gives you depth.

Does he actually make the initial 53? I think maybe. They are kind of hedging their bet on Elam with Rochell because you kind of know what you're getting.

 
I think it depends on the injured guys: Diggs, Revel and Butler. If they are all PUP to start the season, then we need depth. We've got Bland, Elam and then a bunch of bodies. I assume Carson will make the team because we spent a draft pick on him last year, but that's just three unless either Revel or Butler is ready to go. C.J. Goodwin will make it as a special-teammer, but might start off on the PS again to save a roster spot. So Rochell's competition might be Andrew Booth, Troy Pride, Kemon Hall, Zion Childress, Alijah Clark, Bruce Harmon and Mike Smith Jr.

My guess is that we keep six: Bland, Elam, Carson, Revel, Butler and Goodwin (who actually starts off on the PS), but Rochell makes it if either Revel or Butler is on regular-season PUP. I think we also start out with five safeties: Hooker, Wilson, Thomas, Bell and Mukuamu, which is one reason Goodwin begins on the PS and is called up for the first three games.

I think Rochell's ability at gunner helps him.

He is unlikely to make the initial cut to 53 but could get called up later from the practice squad.

Do we still have CJ Godwin?
 
What I noticed on those highlights he’s not afraid to jump the route make a play on the pass . Last year both Booth & Carson needed to take the team bus to get close enough to the receiver they were covering .

For some reason, I thought his 42 games of experience was more recent.

Either way, not a bad depth piece.
 
..I like this guy. He covers well, he's right on top of receivers. Dude not afraid to get dirty.

Not like some guys we have.. *cough, cough*. To much change in their pockets.. ;)..
