I keep reading this refrain, so I thought it might be useful to go over the roster as it now stands. Below is a plausible stab at the current 53 (+Blount). I've bolded the names of players who, IMO, would not be big surprises to be beaten out by a promising rookie. You may not agree with every bolded name, but the key point:
There are 20 of them.
8 on offense, 9 on defense, 1 on special teams. My guess is every roster in the league has ample room for rookies.
