The spots I was most torn on:
- Lee beating out Trey Hill for backup C. I think Lee gives the athletic upside that Hill doesn't have. And we've seen enough of Hill after 3 years to know what he can and cannot do.
- I *think* that in order to keep all the TEs, they'll put All on PUP or IR while he continues to recover from a torn ACL. I think this is more likely than only going 3 RBs and 5 TEs.
- I am thinking the coaches will prefer to actually go with an 11th DL over a 5th LB, as they would be more likely to lose Johnson on the PS than Heyward or Harper. If they end up ever needing a LB due to injury, they can pull up one of the LBs from the PS. Johnson will be in a good spot as a weekly inactive his rookie year before being officially bumped into the rotation next year once Ossai and/or Sample departs in FA.
