Here's how it currently looks, IMO:
K/P/LS -- always 3
QB -- 2
RB/FB -- 4, not counting Mills, unless there's a draft choice
TE -- 4, counting Mills
OL -- 9 (sorry, Mruck), unless there's a draft choice
WR -- 6 (welcome home, Troy)
That leaves room for only 25 on defense.
DE -- 4, counting Mike Wright, unless there's a draft choice (sorry, Mr. Hill)
NT -- 2 or more
OLB -- 4 or more,counting Vrabel and Thomas
ILB -- 4 or more, counting Izzo
S -- 5 or more -- currently Harrison, Wilson, Hawkins, Sanders, Mitchell/Baker/Andrews
CB -- 4 or more -- currently Samuel, Hobbs, Gay, Scott, (Spann)
Absent reductions at other slots, whether for injury or other reasons, there are only 2 slots for all my "and mores", or even fewer if a draft choice nabs a spot elsewhere. I think one pretty much has to be a DB, and I also don't think 6 DL is a comfortable number.
So if anybody is added through the draft on offense, I think there has to be an offensive cut to balance him (or an IR situation). And except for Britt and Brown, I don't think there's anybody in much obvious danger of being cut.
Well, Mills or one of the WRs could screw up ...
