    QB: 1. Mitch Trabisky
    2. Kenny Pickett

    Chris Oladokun hits the PS, while Mason Rudolph is gone


    RB: 1. Najee Harris
    2. Benny Snell
    3. Mateo Durant
    4. Trey Edmunds

    For now, I believe Durant will stick... I also believe he may be switched to WR in the future


    FB: 1. Derek Watt

    Hopefully, we can actually use him consistently in the offense


    Wr: 1. Deonte Johnson
    2. Chase Claypool
    3. George Pickens
    4. Calvin Austin
    5. Miles Boykin
    6. Gunner Olzewski

    Gunner sticks around due to his return ability unless one of the young guns shows equal or greater ability

    TE: 1. Pat Freiermuth
    2. Zack Gentry
    3. Conner Heyward

    Heyward will see some snaps at FB as well as TE

    OT: 1. Dan Moore
    2. Chuks Okorafor
    3. Joe Haeg
    4. John Leglue

    Not very inspired by this group, but there is nothing better on the team (can you guess next yrs 1st Rd pick.,. Hint, hint)

    OG: 1. Kevin Dotson
    2. James Daniels
    3. Kendrick Green

    Much more comfortable with this lineup


    C.: 1. Mason Cole

    Another spot that will be upgraded next season


    DE: 1. Cam Heyward
    2. Chris Wormley
    3. Isaiah Loudermilk
    4. DeMarven Leal

    Tuitt would've made this lineup special right out of the gate, but this is still a solid unit with great upside


    NT: 1. Tyson Alualu
    2. Montravius Adams
    3. Carlos Davis

    Good rotation if everyone stays healthy


    OLB: 1. TJ Watt
    2. Alex Highsmith
    3. Tyree Johnson
    4. Derrek Tuszka

    Tyree Johnson is my dark horse to make the team this yr.... I think he'll surprise

    ILB: 1. Devin Bush
    2. Myles Jack
    3. Robert Spillane
    4. Buddy Johnson

    Mark Robinson will occupy a spot on the PS.. If Buddy Johnson develops and Bush gets his head on straight, than this could be a very good group

    FS: 1. Minkah Fitzpatrick
    2. Damontae Kazee
    3. Tre Norwood

    No shocks here..... Look for part of that money freed up by Tuitt to find it's way in Minkah's pockets

    SS: 1. Terrell Edmunds
    2. Karl Joseph
    3. Miles Killabrew

    No real surprises here

    CB: 1. Levi Wallace
    2. Ahkello Witherspoon
    3. Cam Sutton
    4. James Pierre
    5. Justin Layne
    6. Arthur Maulet

    Solid if not spectacular lineup... I do believe this is Layne's last real chance

    PK: 1. Chris Boswell

    P: 1. Presley Harvin

    Look for Harvin to drastically improve

    maybe Deonte has grown into a #1 receiver, I think its up for the taking - Claypool and Pickens to me are more #1's - Claypool is looking like his arrow is pointing up

    I think Snell is our primary #2,, agree

    I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Mark Robinson, I am drawn to his original attributes, former running back with strength and quickness, looking for him and Buddy Jophnson to help shore up ILB - Bush seems to be doing what he needs to do right now,

    Just took s quick gander on spot track and otc. Spot track has us at scout a little less than $20m and otc has us about $20.5. That's some nice spare change for a FA signing or two plus signing Fitz to a nice extension.

    I doubt Trey Edmunds makes the 53, you left off Genard Avery at LB.

    Agreed on Edmunds. To early to give up on McFarland.

    Way too early for this but as much as I'd like to see it, I doubt Mason is gone. Do you see them cutting him or trying to trade?

    If you are getting rid of him you would at least try to trade him first

    Nothing to loose

    Actually I think one of the udfa guys has a chance to unseat both snell or/ and McFarland. Experience is important, but both of these guys have shown squat.

    Understood but we got a 5th for Dobbs and more the idiot we traded to the Raiders

    Never hurts to ask

    I think Avery will make the team because he can play OLB, and ILB, he's better than Tuszka.

    I doubt they will cut Rudolph. If they can't trade him, he's going to be the second or third-string quarterback and they will try to put Oladokun on the practice squad.

    I think Avery will make it at OLB plus he can play MLB in a pinch as well. I also believe there will be one or two FA signings at either DE/DT and or OT.

    Yeah peirre or layne will be inactive.i think they are high on malluet ( see my post game comment on the chargers game last year).
    Starting 6 cbs can't see it and most have pointer to the LS. This would be the spot.
    Dressing 12 Dbs won't happen. There may be a rotation between Killebrew and Norwood but I think Killebrew gets the nod because of SPs.

    I think there is a wiggle room of 1 with the Norwood stuff based on gameplan. Overall not wrong as of now.

    Three QBs in the 53 man roster and one on the PS? Not seeing it.

    Remember when they had Ben, Jones, Mason, then drafted Dobbs? If memory serves, Landry jones was the presumed #2 but they cut him to keep Mason as #2 and had Dobbs on PS until they traded him to Jax.

    That is not correct. They drafted Dobbs in 2017, then added Rudolph in 2018. They kept those two as their reserves in 2018, both on the actual roster. I don't think Dobbs was ever on the practice squad. They traded him prior to the 2019 season.
