Here are my thoughts at each position, ranked in order of most likely to make it
QB: Dalton, McCarron
RB: Hill, Bernard, Burkhead, Peerman (Wilder & Watson to PS?)
WR: Green, Sanu, Jones, Tate, Alford, Little (I don't see Moore making it)
TE: Eifert, Hewitt, Kroft, Uzomah
OT: Whitworth, Smith, Winston, Fisher (Ogbuehi on PUP)
OG: Boling, Zeitler, Hopkins
C: Bodine, Johnson
DE: Johnson, Dunlap, Gilberry, Clarke
DT: Atkins, Peko, Thompson, Hardison, Sims (Williams has a shot here, think Still and Hunt are done)
LB: (Burfict on PUP), Maualuga, Lamur, Dawson, Hawk, Rey, Flowers (Nico just misses out. Carter is too small to play rush end and doesn't offer much at LB)
CB: Kirkpatrick, Jones, Dennard, Hall, Shaw, Hill
S: Nelson, Illoka, Williams, Smith (Keo looked poor)
ST: Huber, Nugent, Harris
Who do you have in your 53?
The QB that played in the 4th quarter now has more experience than McCarron. .....I agree, it's all in fun, but I'm very glad they don't pick the regular season roster just yet. Lets see what happens in preseason game 2. The starters will play most of the 1st half in preseason game 3 and most of the choices will be made by preseason game 4. ....Bring on preseason game 2, and if McCarron still has never played one NFL snap after it is over, I don't know how bench warming earns him a roster spot. I'm not a fan of Johnson, but he has the experience to be the # 2 QB at this point, and the others don't. Unless that changes very fast, you have to go with Johnson. You can't make the club in the tub. As of today, we are very weak at back-up QB. All I read is this McCarron hype and the guy has never played a single NFL snap. You don't make the NFL on your college highlight clippings......That said, I hope he plays his first NFL game ever next week and does great, we could use a good back-up, but, he has to earn it.
