Ebner and Tavon Wilson get in as special teamers and I dropped Hooman and the idea of a FB to keep Chris Harper who we might struggle to get through to PS. I think McClain ends up getting the edge over Swanson although I'm fine with BB going the other way.

Roberts is not eligible for PUP since he has practiced. Blount is suspended for week 1 which allows you to protect someone else after other team's rosters are set.

Does Roberts need to make the roster before going on IR?

To be honest, I don't know enough about IR, PUP and roster rules, I just included the likes of Roberts, Lafell etc to show I hadn't forgotten them. Roberts should obviously go on IR and whilst I'm not sure of the rule, I believe he can put on IR without exposing him to waivers after the 53 man roster has been decided. To be brutally honest, I was a little bored and decided to give Pats Picker a go - please don't read too much into it

My plan is to sneak Zach Moore onto the practice squad after week 1, clearing a roster spot for Blount.

PUP
LaFell, Dane Fletcher, Chris Jones
============
1) Swanson could beat out McClain
2) Rufus Johnson could need to wait a day if we have someone who needs to be on IR-DTR
3) I see Swanson, Groy, Andrews and Cleveland going to the Practice Squad, or not.
4) The only "loss" that other have on the roster is Tavon Wilson. I just don't see why we would keep him.
5) Other than injuries or a free agent signing, I don't see the last preseason game making any changes.
6) There will be lots of transactions from the time of the "final cut" and the suiting up for Game 2.

What happens to D Roberts?

I expect that he'll be put on IR before the final cut.

I don't understand this strategy. On the initial cut day, about 600 players will be cut. It would seem a lot easier to "sneak" Moore onto the Practice Squad then. After Week One, there will be relatively few transactions, with more focus on these players waived.
