Forum members have asked for an actual football thread on the first page (shocking, I know!). Here is my first go at the 53-Man Roster. Hopefully others will give a go at it.
Thoughts:
Offense
-Gilbert is an easy cut if Brady's suspension stands and he returns.
-3 RBs+1 FB is plenty for the Steelers game IMO, considering we will be passing most of the game.
-Fred Davis & Tim Wright are in competition for one spot. I think Hooman has value as a 4th TE, but I could see why others would disagree.
-OL is pretty straightforward. The only competition is Kline vs. Andrews (he received the highest bonus of any BB UDFA ever)
-I feel that Dobson & Tyms are in competition for one spot. I'd be surprised if both made the team. Nod goes to the more talented player. Also, an UDFA has made a BB 53 man roster every year since 2004. Andrews & Harper received the highest bonuses, and Harper's story is interesting. He left school early and had solid production; he's only 21.
Defense
-DE is loaded and straight forward.
-DT is talented with question marks. Question is to keep Chris Jones or not. I think he's worth a spot.
-LB is loaded. I have no idea who will be ST LB5, so I just went with the veteran. Grissom/Ninkovich can also play OLB if needed.
-CB- we need one pleasant surprise here. Butler becoming a solid CB1, Fletcher recovering, Roberts becoming a draft steal, or Ryan gaining some consistency.
-S- I love our group. Safety is the scarcest position in the NFL yet we have a top 3 FS, a solid SS, and a backup FS with promise. Hopefully Richards is better than Tavon.
ST
-I feel BB likes Ebner enough that he is a permanent ST only player with Slater.
-Is Cardona playing?
