My take on this is that the first team and rotational players, plus special teams guys make up the bulk of the 46 man active roster. The balance of the 53 man roster generally consists of injured players and young guys still learning the system. That's not 100% accurate but for the most part that's how filled out the roster is.

All the guys beyond that are the guys who won't make the team, so there's a noticeable drop-off.

There are exceptions where there's a guy on the roster and there's dispute about him even making the team but since we don't seem to have anyone better we keep hanging on to the guy. E.g, Hunt.

There will be some talented guys cut from this roster on Saturday.
