Quote:My guess is:


QB - Bortles, Henne (2) - I don't think we carry 3 qbs. Either we cut Allen and try to get him on the PS, or cut Henne and develop Allen. Win-now season, and this roster spot should go to a bubble player that can play a role.

 

Brandon Allen has a natural deep passing arm that fits the scheme better than Henne's check down obsession. I believe they'll keep all three, but if they only keep two you should say goodbye to Henne.



RB - Ivory, Yeldon, Robinson, Grant (4) - I was against Grant making the roster, but he does have value on special teams. Gray was impressive at the end of last season, but unless he has special teams value like Denard and Grant, I don't see him making the roster.

 

Totally agree. Denard impressed a bit at the scrimmage so I've temporarily moved him up over Gray, but one or the other is gone.



WR - Robinson, Hurns, Lee, Walters, Greene (5) - I would hate to let Benn go.

 

Me too, which is why I'm starting to think they'll keep Benn as a 6th WR since he's easily among best 53 players and carries more value than an extra RB, TE or DB. If they only keep five, it's going to be a really tough call between Walters and Benn. For my money, I'm keeping Benn. Where Walters is a thread to get the first down, Benn is a threat to get the long bombs.



TE - Lewis, Thomas, Bowman, Jacobs (4) - Koyack and/or Sterling would have to show out to take Bowman's spot.


OL - Parnell, Beachum, Joeckel, Linder, Cann, Wells, Shatley, Bernadeau  (8) - Bowanko is out for the first six weeks? They should just IR him.

 

No way should they IR Bowanko. Even if he's out until mid-season, they may need him down the stretch since he's far and away our best Center after Linder.



DL - Fowler, Marks, Jackson, Odrick, Ngakoue, Miller, Jones, Day, Bennett, Alualu (10) - Wow there's a lot of depth here. Gonna be a tough cut or two.

 

I'm thinking they cut Bennett. I used to think it would be Alualu, but they sort of need him as the backup strongside DE with Jonathan Woodard injured.



LOTTO - Skuta, Holmes, Davis (3)

LB - Jack, Poz, Smith, Tripp (4)

 

I'd like to find a way to keep Holmes on the roster, but I'm starting to think he'll end up on the PS.



CB - Ramsey, House, Amukamara, Colvin, Marshall, Gratz (6) - Not sure if Colvin takes up a roster spot or not.


S - Gipson, Cyprien, Sample, Thompson (4)


K - Ficken (1)

P - Nortman (1)

KR - Grant

PR - Greene

LS - Tinker (1)
