Looking at the roster I see 3 roster spots left. Assuming 46 Locks for roster spots (see them listed below) and the next 4 which I think are almost locks. Next 4 Roster spots 1. MW should be a lock with Zach injury. 2. Mimms if not traded is a lock. 3. From some tweets by beat writers it appears likely McDermott will go to IR. If true we need a spot if he goes to IR. Which means they will need to hold a roster spot for him before going to IR. 4. Edoga is a lock for cut down day but might be immediately replaced anyone off waiver gets the 4th OT spot. That leaves 3 Roster spots between the following players: 1. 4th safety Parks vs. Davis 2. 10th DL Marshall, Anae, Shepherd, Zuniga, Smart and Curry. 3. 5th LB – Nasirildeen 4. FB/4th RB/4th TE – Bawden/Knight/Wesco 5. 11th DL Marshall, Anae, Shepherd, Zuniga, Smart and Curry. 6. Special Teams – Hardee 7. 7th CB - Dunn 8. A 5th OT if we keep a waiver pick-up along with Edoga. Here are my 46 locks. QB – 2-3 1.Zach Wilson 2.Joe Flacco RB and FB – 3-4 1.Breece Hall 2.Michael Carter 3.Tevin Coleman TE – 3-4 1.CJ Uzomah 2. Tyler Conklin 3. Jeremy Ruckert WR – 5-6 1.Corey Davis 2.Elijah Moore 3.Garrett Wilson 4.Braxton Berrios 5.Jeff Smith IOL - 5 Laken Tomlinson Alijah Vera-Tucker Connor McGovern Dan Feeney Nate Herbig OT – 4-5 1.George Fant 2.Duane Brown 3. Max Mitchell DL 10-11 Carl Lawson John Franklin-Myers Jermaine Johnson II Jacob Martin Michael Clemons Quinnen Williams 7. Bryce Huff 8. Solomon Thomas 9. Sheldon Rankins LB – 4-5 1. CJ Mosley 2. Alexander 3. Quincy Williams 4. Sherwood CB – 6-7 1.DJ Reed 2.Sauce Gardner 3.Bryce Hall 4.Brandin Echols 5.Michael Carter II 6.Javelin Guidry S – 3-4 1.Jordan Whitehead 2.Lamarcus Joyner 3.Jason Pinnock Special Teams 3-4 1.Braden Mann 2.Thomas Hennessy 3. Greg Zuerlein
Hardee is a lock. Parks over Davis. Cager as TE4 Streveler over Mike White (Mike White is god awful and it's time for people to realizing this)
Denver just cut their punter. He was supposedly top 5 last year. Chance for an upgrade at Punter. Mann very inconsistent
Has Jacob Martin done anything? I know we signed him as a free agent but I haven’t heard anything about him…haven’t heard him crushing it at camp, not sure if he’s played much or made an impact in any preseason games…is he a lock to make the team?
I will go with for the last 3 spots: 1. Marshall. A good camp with a lot of athletic upside. Anae and Smart hopefully can make PS. 2. Parks gets cut if they think he can make the PS. Riley got cut and immediately claimed so I am guessing they think Parks will not make it through so he makes the team. 3. Nasirildeen was a good contributor on ST and had a good camp. Can he make it to the PS. I think it is him or Hardee. Hardee can definitely contribute but cutting Hardee saves 2 million. Maybe if hardee will redo his contract they keep him but I am going with Nasirildeen. Knight and Cager should have no problem making the PS. Bawden is injured and Wesco only offers blocking. but, Wesco has been getting time with the 1st team in camp which said the CS likes him a lot more than fans do. Dunn likely makes the PS. More spots could open up with a Mimms trade or even a cb trade. Echols can play nickel and outside. Guidry is darn good but Echols offers more flexibility and maybe Guidry could return a 5 or 6 in a trade. A Rankins trade would open up the some cash and a spot. Same for a Mike White trade but I think MW sits on the roster until ZW is back and MW and Mimms are held as a future trade targets.
He had a good camp, the CS really likes him and he has guaranteed money. He is a lock and ahead of Huff who he has been compared to him in his rush style and interestingly both had very high rush win rates last year. They both should be part of the 8 DL man rotation.
My 46 locks did not age well with only 44 actually being locks with Guidry and Pinnock saying goodbye. Then of the 50 neither McDermott was kept to go on IR nor was Edoga. Which makes only 46 out of 50. The title to this thread should have been the last 7 not the last 3. A pretty surprising cut down day with Adams, Davis, cager, Knight, Johnson, Curry and Shepherd making the initial 53.
