The 21 players below will likely get almost all the reps. There are many developmental players here, so we NEED not use the last roster spots for developmental players. We also have added some solid special teamers (for example, Fletcher is back).
We all have our favorites. I don't think that any of them are a must-have.
I suspect that what we need is simply additional depth in every unit: DE, DT, LB/ST and DB, likely one player for each. I would be fine with the players now on the team winning these spots. I would also be fine with late free agent additions making the team (DT seems most likely).
21 MAN DEFENSE
DE (4) Jones, Ninkovich, Francis, Benard
DT (3) Wilfork, Kelly, Forston
ILB(2) Spikes, Fletcher
OLB(3) Mayo, Hightower, Collins
CB (4) Talib, Dennard, Arrington, Ryan
SS (2) Wilson, Wilson
FS (3) McCourty, Gregory, Harmon
