I kinda hope a good LB gets cut from another team just to give us a good 5th LB. If we put Jefferson on the PS, I doubt anyone nabs him.

Anderson

TE 4

Eifert
Uzomah

Schreck

WR 7

AJ

Tate

PS Dolegala, Ellis, J. Franks, S. Morgan

With the 8 Oline that's 25

Then there is the QB issue.  Dolegala may make the 53.

But to tell you the truth I like his upside rather keep him and trade Dalton start Finley. I can dream...the bud helps lol

Let's start with the Oline and see who/how many there will be. I'm gonna guess 8, here's my picks.

C - Price
C/G - Hopkins
G - Jordan
G - Miller
G - Westerman
T - Glenn
T- Hart
T - Smith

That leaves cut or PS

Brad Lundblade 1 C
Justin Evans 1 G
John Jerry 9 G
Alex Redmond 3 G
Keaton Sutherland R G
O'shea Dugas R T

I'd say guys like Dugas, Sutherland, maybe even Evans hit PS. I'd also guess ZT is being an offensive minded HC is gonna keep as many playmakers as possible and rely on scheme and the TE's and WR's even to be a part of the blocking.

What ya think ?

No way we only keep 3 OT's when one has a concussion

Trade Dalton and you are sending message to your team, we are not trying to win in 2020 in my opinion.

Dalton does have NFL exp advantage but no more exp within our new system. Again are you saying we will make a deep playoff run with Dalton? I seen him fold many times in high pressure games and even seen him lose it when he got pressured this preseason once he feels pressure his eyes don't look downfield he goes into panic mode. Just like he has been coached to go to the check down guy in years past under Marvin and not take chances. These are bad tendency he needs to be coached out of that Finley does not have.

There is a few teams out there wondering who their starting QB will be and some looking to pick a guy up. I know it was against 3rd stringers but compared to what some teams have at QB right now he looks real good. Some teams that have older QB would stash him as a 3rd QB to develop him he has much more value then a 6th LB or 6th or 7th WR that will only contribute on ST.
