Building 2017 roster

[patsfaninpa]

I'm doubling down on being stupid. Want me some Owa Odighizuwa. I even remembered how to spell his name! Loved him when he got drafted. Doesn't likeplaying football for the NY Giants. No crime in that. Took some PED's to extend his career. What's not to like?

This thread should officially change its name to Ruining 2017 Roster.

Have a look at this great breakdown of all 32 rosters:

and some more analysis here:

While analyzing the other 31's practice squads, I've come across 4 players whom I would sign immediately. Each is currently on the PS of the team that drafted them (3 from 2017, 1 from 2016):

Dorian Johnson - OG (Arizona)

Shilique Calhoun - DE/OLB (Oakland)

Elijah Lee - OLB (Minnesota)

Robert Davis (Washington)

The above would replace Adrian the Waddle, Jordan Richards, Elandon Roberts, and either Amendola (if he's thought to be better-served by being IRed), Brandon Bolden, or Cole Croston. Davis would not solve the WR-as-Punt-Returner problem (I don't know if there are any currently on PSs who would), and he did not play Division 1 or 1-AA at Georgia State, but he is a height/weight/speed prospect who could pay huge dividends a year from now. He also has NFL bloodlines (2nd cousin of Thomas Davis).

Speaking of ruining the 2017 roster, the defense that Bill will be trotting out today is the worst it has been since SB46.
