The two receivers are my only question as I think only one of the two actually make the 53, (RED)

It's amazing how thin / ability we actually are at the LBs positions across the roster (green)
it doesn't show until you see them listed in print then it sticks out a lot.


GOOD roster slash

Thanks for putting in the work Slash! I'll get you karma, when I am allowed to!

Can't argue with the receivers. Patterson is on the come, but if he makes the team, it actually screws DHB, and Tucker would slide in as the 2nd slot. I think Patterson can push Tucker for slot snaps as well. Dude can run routes!

QB, I think Dobbs or Jones will be traded before the roster cut downs. Currently both are better than anything Denver has.

TE, Bucky is a PS guy this year. He can't match X-man's all around game right now.

For LBs, I think the 5th OLB is way more talented than the 5th ILB. I don't let Adams walk at all. I really like Matt Thomas, but I think he might push Fort off the roster. If not, I see him on the PS.

Damoun Patterson – Was a good kick coverage person in college, would; like to see him try and return kickoffs in the pre-season.

I was just wondering if that cast Grimble is sporting will be slow him enough for Buck to stick.

Fort is a decent coverage backer. I am not sure if they let that go. Or risk Thomas hitting the PS ...

Not at OT, or ILB. OLB is a little thin as well.

Where exactly do you think our depth is better? I'd say CB, and S.

Yep....these next coupla weeks will be interesting., things can change quickly.
 
Here is my current 53. Including Bell and Rogers who will be exceptions until signed and activated from PUP. So this will account for 55 with the 2 obviously being released later on when needed. This will most likely fluctuate. Our Defensive schemes are going to start changing. I could see us keeping an additional DL than usual because of this.

ILB you have Bostic added and possibly Thomas. Also is last years late pick at OLBer (Keion Adams) in the mix as well. Thomas can double at OLBer and ILBer. So if he makes it I would say that is adequate depth for both ILBer and OLBEr spots.

Which leaves OT. One final roster cut bring in can change that.

So if all they are looking at as one OT for depth, I would say that is pretty good depth overall. And let us not forget Matt Feiler has experience at that position. So with the rookie and him probably not as weak as some perceive. I am probably more concerned at Center...... But I think BJ could possibly tow that line.

You want to get rid of your most experienced backup QB for a rookie and a unproven. Not sure the Steelers are that risky.

I worry Allen has been too often injured to get a firm read on. Which is why I didn't add him.

I AGREE, Dobbs is the odd man out. There may be an attempt to PS him but I don't think he clears waivers or maybe he does as I have him slightly over valued. I'm not seeing him oin a daily basis. A trade for something would be better than a whole lot of nothing. TRADE if can find trade partner(can you hear me DENVER)

That's the one spot I bounce back and forth with. I do feel like Landry will be the one to crack the roster, but for some reason I won't allow myself to believe it. Somebody very well could be traded. And it will probably be Dobbs
 
So we like Brian Allen more than coty sensabaugh..... waste of a roster spot imo. Coty has proven more and Brian can’t seem to prove he’s worthy of being placed in one single package.

Thought both had pretty decent camps, and picked both to stay on my final 53.
