2019 53-man roster news

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Wonder if Seibert showed enough last night to take the lead for the job, or if Joseph will have a chance to answer next week.

My current roster. Based only on guys in camp.

QB (2) - Mayfield, Stanton
RB (4) - Chubb, Hilliard, Gray
TE (3) - NJoku, Harris, Brown
WR (6) - OBJ, Juice, Hollywood, Strong, Willies, Montgomery
OL (9) - GRob, Bitonio, Trett, Kush, Hubbard, Forbes, Corbett, Kalis, Lamm

DE (5) - Garrett, Vernon, Avery, Zettel, Thomas
DT (5) - Ogunjobi, Richardson, Coley, Ekuale, Lawrence
LB (5) - Schobert, Kirksey, Takitaki, Wilson, Taylor
CB (6) - Ward, Mitchell, Carries, Greedy, Gaines, Thomas
S (5) - Randall, Burnett, Murray, Redwine, Whitehead

Sp - Hughlett, Colquitt, Joseph

- I don't think anyone is going to add Gilbert to their 53 man. They can afford to cut him and maybe add him later in case of injury. Blough will be practice squad.

- I have Gray over Dernest because as of right now, Chubb is their only "big" back and they have no one to line up at FB in goaline. Gray theoretically can do both. It might be more likely that they bring in an Hback to block over Pharoah Brown, and keep Dernest as the 3rd RB. Or maybe they bring an HBack and a different 3rd RB. I am confident in Chubb, Hilliard, Njoku and Harris. After those 4, we'll keep at least 2 more, but no idea if they're on the roster.

- Ish Hyman is the biggest lock for the PS, IMO, unless another team thinks he's 53 man worthy. I also think when Callaway gets back, Strong is most likely to go.

- I'd like another OT, but don't think Seaton makes the team. 3 of the 4 backup OL are either guards or centers. Bringing in an emergency tackle wouldn't surprise me. Think Finneanganofo makes the PS.

- 10 DL is a lot. If they keep 9, Chad Thomas and Lawrence might be fighting for the last roster spot, and it opens up a spot elsewhere.

- I really think Tavierre Thomas bring a lot on special teams, so I think he makes the team.

- I picked Joseph because...why not? No idea who actually wins the job.

Positions most likely to add someone not currently on roster: RB/FB/HB/TE combo or OT. Maybe DT if someone unexpected shakes loose.

Final projection

QB (2) - Mayfield, Stanton
RB (4) - Chubb, Hilliard, Johndon
TE (3) - NJoku, Harris, Devalve
WR (6) - OBJ, Juice, Hollywood, Miller, Willies, Ratley
OL (9) - GRob, Bitonio, Trett, Kush, Hubbard, Forbes, Corbett, Teller, Lamm

DE (5) - Garrett, Vernon, Avery, Zettel, Thomas
DT (5) - Ogunjobi, Richardson, Coley, Ekuale, Lawrence
LB (5) - Schobert, Kirksey, Takitaki, Wilson, Taylor
CB (6) - Ward, Mitchell, Carries, Greedy, Gaines, Thomas
S (5) - Randall, Burnett, Murray, Redwine, Whitehead

Sp - Hughlett, Colquitt, Seibert

- If it turns out Forbes goes on IR, Kalis will take his spot
- I expect Devalve to be replaced by someone not currently on the roster
- Between DT, DE and CB, one of the guys I have making it will get cut. However, I don't think they keep Gilbert, and I like all those guys over Ray Ray. Maybe they add a special teamer from somwhere else.
- I don't think Miller makes it past week 4. Also, could see him being replaced by someone from another team.
 
I think I'd prefer to keep the Hammer over Colquitt simply because of cost, but I get the feeling they showcased him last night to give him a chance to catch on somewhere else.

I really like his tackling ability as a punter. It's not just a gimmick -- he's clearly good enough in the open field to limit the chance for someone to break a big one. Rugby guys in general are usually good at that open field stuff.

Especially for a generally low impact position like punter... I.E., most punters have around the same capability. So if you have a punter that can do more than just punt, well, you should stick with that guy.

Love Gillan’s upside as a career punter in the NFL but my fear is that we’re too close to contention to take a chance on a project right now. Bear in mind that he’d also need to undertake holding duties.

Per his own admission, he doesn’t understand the nuances of the game, situational decision-making, etc.

I love the leg but not every punt needs to be 70+ yards. The potential that he could routinely out kick his coverage is a concern. His unproven ability to pooch a kick inside the 10 is also a concern. Does he have touch or could we be dealing with an automatic touchback every time he punts the ball?

Given the fact that we should be in playoff contention, I’d take the proven vet.
 
Scottish Hammer and Sheehy are the two guys I REALLY wanna see kept, but have a feeling they won’t. Any chance we can pay the guys to sit out a year and sign as FAs next summer? #ImNotSerious #ButKindaWishWeCould
