QB: min 2; max 4
OL: min 7; max 10
RB: min 4; max 6
TE: min 2; max 4
WR: min 5; max 7
DL: min 7; max 10
LB; min 5; max 8
S; min 3; max 5
CB; min 4; max 7
Specialists; exactly 3
Total Minimum: 42 (base from which to add 11 more)
Total Maximum: 64 (base from which to cut 11 more)
When I see projected 53-man rosters or last 5 to make roster or last 5 cut from roster, I don't know enough yet to participate, but it does get me thinking about roster composition and scheme.
If we play more 3-4 this year, we'll need extra LBs. If we stick with 4-3 or even 4-2-5 we'll need more DL and CB.
Offensive scheme looks like throws to RB will be way up this year assuming Vereen remains healthy and given the addition of James White and working out Develin lined up as a TE.
3 draft picks on the O-line could mean we carry extra players there for developmental reasons.
If I had to guess at roster composition this year, it would be something like this:
QB=3;OL=9;RB=5,TE=2;WR=6;DL=9;LB=6;S=4;CB=6;Spec=3
Though I could be convinced to go with 3 safeties and 7 corners and 5 linebackes and 10 defensive lineman and 2 QBs and 10 offensive linemen. And so on.
