Karen Guregian has an early cut at the roster out, and it reminded me of where the biggest logjams are or aren't.
K/P/LS -- None, of course.
QB -- None. Brady and Jimmy G. are the only 2 QBs one actually wants on the roster.
RB -- A mild one, because nobody has really distinguished himself beyond Blount (who's both mildly injured and mildly suspended) and Bolden (who has done so only on STs).
WE -- A mild one, because all of Dobson, Gibson, Boyce and Tyms have flashed, but none inspires much confidence.
TE/FB -- None, unless you'd mourn the departure of Jake Bequette.
OL -- Oh dear, Kline and Devey can't both fit on the roster. Whatever shall we do??
Edge rusher -- A mild one; there may be no room for Zach Moore.
DT -- A bigger one, as it were. Two deserving guys (e.g. Chris Jones and Vellano) may find themselves without spots.
LB -- A bigger one. A bunch of deserving guys may find themselves without spots.
S -- A bigger one. Wilson and Ebner both clearly deserve spots, but it's hard to keep both.
CB -- A mild one at most. The challenge is finding 5 guys who can reliably play.
Summing up, the biggest logjams are in the center of the defense.
