Nice job!

Questions would be what if Gregory is reinstated? Tapper?

Some tough decisions will need to be made.

You forgot Randy Gregory.

And possible Tapper.

Super solid list. I’m replacing CB White with Jarwin otherwise completely agree with this list

Thoughts?

I think Jarwin makes the team at tight end either over one of the players you have listed or in addition.

I don't see Ash making the team. He was only brought up because Price was hurt.

I'm not sure on either White, but I think the QB has a better chance than the CB, although the lack of depth may change that. (I think Duke Thomas was outplaying White last preseason, though.)

Nicely done. I'm with you in that Tapper and Gregory do not make the roster.

A few things I disagree on:

We only keep 2 QBs. We were comfortable enough last year to only go with an UDFA rookie and Dak, and I think this year we feel more comfortable with White. Rush might make the PS. Datone Jones takes Rush's spot on the 53.

I don't think Olawale makes the squad. He's more of a pass catching FB, and doesn't really dig out LBs like we want in a FB. I think we keep Jarwin, who played Cowboy Back at OSU (a TE/FB hybrid) and he fills the FB role.

Lance Lenoir or Wilson makes the squad over Thompson. Just a feeling. We have a FA every offseason that we pick up for cheap that doesn't make the squad. I think Thompson is this year's Robert Blanton. Plus reports say that Lenoir looks good in the offseason programs.

I'd make 4 relatively small changes...

Take off Brown and add Jarwin. Don't think Rico is enough of a sure thing to carry only 3 TE's and Brown would in theory be the 7th receiving option including Tavon. Between Cedric Wilson and Noah Brown it shouldn't be hard to get 1 of them on the PS.
Take off Ash and add Chaz Green. 10 d lineman is overkill and 8 o lineman isn't enough.
Take off White for a vet S signed.
Sneak Bo on the PS and sign a vet LB. I still don't feel great about our LB's if/when Lee goes down. Probably better for ST anyway.

Tre Boston and Gerald Hodges are the 2 guys I'd fill out the roster with over White and Bo.

 

[jterrell]

() for guys who fill 2 deep and back up multiple spots but only count as one roster spot.

QB - Dak, White, Rush --think White beats out Rush for back up job in TC and Pre-season.

KR (Deonte Thompson/Bo Scarborough)

I suspect Cedrick Wilson sneaks onto squad as hard to see 6 WRs all staying healthy ahead of him.
DL wise also likely we see a couple guys get banged up. Ash likely makes team as will Tapper if he's finally healthy.
Gregory is a long shot to me. Lotsa rust and he wasn't polished at all even before the suspension.
Kelly's spot could easily go to a late FA signing. Think he's basically a lock for at least a PS spot but team passed him a lot of times in this draft.

May keep Jarwin also at TE.
Only kept 8 DL last year, 10 is a bit much but can see it too. Ash and Price may have a hard time mailing the team, but Price over Ash. Tapper can be a factor as well, and if Gregory returns, but he may push Tapper off the team, depending on how Ealy looks.

White at CB will be interesting as he battle Duke Thomas for that 5th CB spot. Kelly at S, he will be going against Jake Thompson, a guy Kris Richard brought in at S. Will be interesting there too.

Over all about what I have with a few exceptions.

Tre Boston and Gerald Hodges are the 2 guys I'd fill out the roster with over White and Bo.

Would really love to add Tre Boston. Putting this together made me realize how bad we need someone back playing the single high zone.

Brown might not make it, but I like what I saw last year so for now I have him. He's far from a lock.

I really just want some big bodies at 1 Tech but you're probably right about Ash.

We do have a lot of position flex with out backup Olineman, but you can never have too many. We could easily add another guy or even keep Green if need be.

Would also love a vet LB, not really sold on Vander Esch as a starter right off the bat.

TWill might start on PUP/NFI.

 

[tm1119]

TWill might start on PUP/NFI.

That’s best case scenario for sure. Evaluate where we are with the WR’s for 6 weeks. If they are struggling T Will will be a decent boost, if not just cut bait
