How many of the 53 roster spots actually matter? Obviously 22.

So 53-22=31. At LEAST another 11 are important rotational guys.

So 31-11=20. You get 7 draft picks a year so let’s just say you rock as a scout and all 7 of your draft picks are important.

So 20-7=13


How many of these 13 spots actually matter?

I’m of the opinion that EVERY single spot matters.

I go into every season thinking ALL 53 players will have at least 1 nexus event that will lead to a win or a loss.

So if you see me on here caring a little too much about the last roster spots that is why. Lol

I agree at some point all 53 may eventually have some impact. But how much of that is a positive or negative impact? We've seen the bottom of our OL depth have nexus events but unfortunately they weren't always to our benefit. 

I think for the typical inactives on the roster, who still make the 53, they can likely be replaced with most people from the PS and give similar results. So in that regard I don't think they're THAT vital to success. Obviously there's outliers but overall I don't think they actually matter that much.
