The Initial 53 Man Roster

[One-If-By-Sea]

Canada made it because of Schooler's injury.
Arkin made it because of Hill's injury.

Jacobs deserved to make the team even with good drafts.

Yes the depth is depleted in areas because of the Maye draft.

Certain draft picks might have been cut with better veterans (Obiazor/Hutchins) and some veterans (Woods/Pettus) might have been too, as well as some of the waiver pickups/trades wouldn't have happened, but the UFA's weren't affected IMO.

This year's draft picks and UDFAs are not equivalent to a 3rd year player. That is what Vrabel is referring to as "depth", younger and experienced players (not 1st year rookies) that we are missing due to the bust known as the 2024 draft.

Over the past 3 years, including Maye’s year where every player but Maye is gone

You're forgetting the declining BB and Mayo two years prior.

As is often the case, we don't even recognize STers and don't expect our own new STes to make the 53. I expct several to conibute on ST's this year. Examples that come to mind are

Muasau (also our "best" backup linebacker
Hutchins
Canada
Latu
Britt (now on the PS)

The reason three UDFAs made the team is because so many of their draft picks have been busts.

They played in the Super Bowl last year genius. They had four rookie starters and about 8 rookies total playing roles on the team.

Do you think before you troll this board?
