I think with 16 on the PS, and the ability to protect 4, and have vets there, we see some experienced guys on the PS.
With COVID, if injuries hit, you need guys who can come in and play right away. FAs will have to go through protocol. I'd want more guys who can play immediately rather than projects, both on the roster and on the PS. A kicker/punter on the PS might be a good idea. And a LS.
Looking at the roster differently:
1. Roster Locks = 37. Starters + first backups.
O = 18. Burrow; Mixon; Green, Boyd (slot), Ross; Uzomah; J. Williams, Jordan, Hopkins, XSF, Hart. Finley; Bernard; Higgins, Tate, Sample, Johnson, Price.
D = 16. Dunlap, Atkins, Reader, Hubbard; Bynes, Pratt; WJ3, Alexander (slot), Phillips; Bell, Bates. Lawson, Daniels; L. Wilson, Sims, S. Williams.
ST = 3. Bullock, Huber, Harris.
------------
2. Near Locks = 6 (43 total).
O = 3. Erickson; Carter; Adeniji.
D = 3. Kareem; ADJ, B. Wilson.
----------
3. Probable = 4 (47 total).
O = 3. T. Williams; Thomas; Redmond.
D = 1 Bailey.
------------
With only 6 spots left, it is time to take inventory. We still lack a QB3 (Dolegala/Allen), a 4th RB (Perine/Patrick), a TE4 (Schreck/Wilcox/Franks), a 6th LB (Calitro/Evans).
There are only 7 DL so far, 1-2 more have to make it (A. Brown, Freedom, Futrell, Bledsoe, McKenzie, Dishon). And I only have 4 CBs, there has to be 1-2 more there (T. Brown, Rose).
A 5th safety (Henderson) or an 8th WR (Morgan) are also possible based on their play.
For me, I think Morgan, A. Brown, Calitro, T. Brown, Rose, Perine, and Morgan are the guys most deserving of making it, but we only have room for 6 of them. And that is assuming only 2 QBs and no waiver pick-ups.
4. Last 6.
Perine (RB4), A. Brown (DE/DT), Calitro (LB6), T. Brown (CB), Rose (CB), Henderson (S5).
----------
5. Pracice Squad (16)
1. Morgan (Protected) WR8
2. Dolegala (Protected) QB3
3. Evans (Protected) LB7
4. F. Akinmoladun (Protected) DL9
------------
5. Schreck TE4
6. Patrick RB5
7. Wilcox TE5
8. Mauigoa OL10
9. Knipfel OL11
10. McTyler CB7
11. Bledsoe DL10
12. Dishon DL11
13. Spears Jr LB8
14. Washington WR9
15. McKenzie DT/OG (or Godsil if no one else can LS2)
16. Vizcaino PK/P (or another PK/P)
-------------
6. So long
Allen; Irwin, Lodge; Franks; Futrell; Mabin, Smith.
----------
I would assume we claim someone (or more than one someone) who gets waived and they make the 53, or at least the PS. Anyway, that is how I see the guys we have.
