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'm with you ... every spot's important.  Not every game, but somewhere down the line everyone on the roster is going to have to contribute somewhere just because of injuries.

Do they have to be worldbeaters?  No... and cap restrictions dictate that they can't be, but the coaching staff needs to be able to adjust to maximize strengths and mitigate weaknesses and the FO needs to work to provide the best players for them to do that.
