2) Ceiling. If no, is there future upside?
3) Risk. Do I lose him if cut, or PS likely?
4) Depth. If I lose him, is there a roughly equivalent guy I can get on the PS?
M. Wilson, Cochran, I. Williams, Hudson, Grandy, McLachlan, C. Johnson all ended the year on our 53. Kirkland made the initial roster & got hurt.
Milton, Giles-Harris, & Davis either played some or spent time on the 53.
Bryan played 300+ snaps last year. And Ridder has started at QB.
Except for the safeties, I can make a reasonable case for everyone.
i would add a 5th criteria
5) can this player be effective on special teams...the back of the roster has to pick up snaps on Darrin Simmons' teams
And I would say Grandy over McLachlan....Grandy is the only real back up to Sample's role
