This is your chance to predict the 53 players that make the initial 53-player cutdown.

If you want a bonus, predict any players you think will make it on the 16-player Practice Squad.


*** IMPORTANT ***

** This thread is ONLY for 53-player prediction posts, not discussions or comments!

** I will create another thread for final roster discussions, but this one was created so that everyone can get their predictions in and later easily find and compare against each other after the cut down.

I’m a little light on OL and DL but I needed room for the extra RB I’m afraid we are stuck with and our CB situation is so crazy, I had to carry six

This is what I think the team will do with some of my thoughts also listed:

Offense (24)
QB (2) Prescott, Milton (Grier PS until we find someone else)
RB (4) Williams, Luepke, Blue, Mafah (Mafah just way better than Sanders. Sanders to the PS and possibly called up for the first week IF Blue is out and need a #2. Sanders also can't play STs)
WR (5) Lamb, Pickens, Tolbert, Turpin, Flournoy (No need for 6 other than STs so Brooks on PS or maybe on 53 and then PS when Mingo back. Prefer Winfrey or a DB (STs) over Brooks)
TE (3) Ferguson, Schoonmaker, Spann-Ford (with Luepke playing H-Back and other needs only go 3 here)
OL (10) Smith, Booker, Beebe, Steele, Guyton, Thomas, Bass, Hoffman, Adeniji, Charles (First 9 I think set. Charles vs Richards and Cornelius a tossup. I think Charles )

Defense (26)
DE (6) Parsons, Fowler, Kneeland, EZ, Williams, Houston (no question IMO on Houston at least until Micah back)
DT (5) Odighizuwa, Thomas, Toia, Smith, Winfrey (There WILL be a new DT on the roster soon. Mazi on 53 but inactive, Jerry won't let him be cut due to admitting failure and also cap reasons)
LB (5) Sanborn, Liufau, Murray, Clark, James
DB (10) Diggs, Bland, Elam, Booth, Childress, Mukuamu, Hooker, Wilson, Thomas, Bell (Can't afford Goodwin until Diggs healthy enough to play he or Clark to 53 when Diggs healthy. also Mukuamu flexibility over Clark for now because may need for CB depth while Diggs out)

Special Teams (3)
P Anger, K Aubrey, LS Seig
