Tobin and Lewis have infused this roster with some young hungry 2017 Draft picks.
Some familiar faces will be not be in orange and black when we play the Ravens
Any thoughts who gets cut
I'm gonna give it a go.

C Russell Bodine
TE Tyler Kroft
QB Jeff Driskel
WR Alex Erickson Cody Core

NT Pat Sims Brandon Thompson
DE Will Clarke Wallace Gilberry
LB PJ Dawson
CB Adam Jones
K Randy Bullock

Bodine isn't at risk at all. Dielman is not going to push Bodine off the roster. In fact, only Smith was brought in to fill one of the two open OL spots, so I think Dielman takes the other.
OL looks like this: Ogbuehi, Boling, Bodine, Smith, Fisher, Winston, Westerman, Johnson, Dielman.

Kroft isn't in jeopardy because of the big green ogre. Schreck is a PS player and will only be called upon due to injuries.

You should throw Flowers into the LB list. I think both he and Dawson could be on the outs with Evans taking one spot and Lawson possibly getting the sixth spot as a rush LB.

Pat Sims and Brandon Thompson definitely cut unless injury happens before the start of the season.
