My pre-camp 53 prediction .... Yes, I'm upsetting the natural order

Offense
QB:

Kenny Pickett
Mitch Trubiski
Mason Rudolph

No surprises here


HB:

Najee Harris
Jaylen Warren
Anthony McFarland

Don't be surprised if Benny Snail is resigned prior to the season... Otherwise, no surprises

FB:

Connor Heyward

Switch back to his natural position, but don't be surprised if they move him around a bit
Monte pottebaum to the PS


WR:

Diontae Johnson
George Pickens
Alan Robinson
Calvin Austin
Hakeem Butler
Miles Boykin

Butler is my first surprise as I think he will show out when the pads come on... Boykin stays for his special teams ability

TE:

Pat Freiermuth
Darnell Washington
Zach Gentry

No surprises here either

OT:

Broderick Jones
Chuks Okorafor
Dan Moore

Again... No surprises

OG:

Isaac Seamolu
James Daniels
Nate Herbig
Kevin Dotson

Dotson stays unless traded...... Spencer Anderson to PS as long as Dotson is around

C:

Mason Cole
Ryan McCollum

Another surprise..... McCollum has great mobility and a better anchor than a certain failed 3rd rounder

PK:

Chris Boswell

As usual


Defense
DE:

Cam Heyward
Larry Ogunjobi
Demarvin Leal
Isaiah Loudermilk

NT:
Keanu Benton
Montravious Adams
Breidon Fehoko

I believe Loudermilk turns the corner this season

OLB:

TJ Watt
Alex Highsmith
Markus Golden
Nick Herbig
Quincy Roche

ILB:

Elandon Roberts
Cole Holcomb
Mark Robinson

Herbig will be used at both positions

CB:

Patrick Peterson
Joey Porter Jr
Levi Wallace
Cory Trice
Chandon Sullivan

S:
Minkah Fitzpatrick
Damontae Kazee
Keanu Neal
Tre Norwood

Other than Fitz, the rest are interchangeable at both S positions

P:

Pressley Harvin

Strongly believe this yr is Harvin's last chance.... He either turns the corner or he's replaced in 2024

Probably got 50 of 53, maybe 51. Good list.

 

Nice list. I'm hoping Harvin is gone though.

 

Solid list.

Hopefully your right on that wasted 3rd rounder. Bust. I still can't believe he took up a roster spot last season and was inactive for EVERY game.

Harvin I believe will be replaced. Each time he goes to punt I hold my breath. You don't know if he is going to shank or have a solid boot. They can find someone better.

 

riley for norwood. muse at ILB. mccullom to the PS again since he has eligability. green i think gets another year. don't know why but.... loudermilk maybe not. watts maybe or they role with one less and keep an extra DB. harvin out for mann. herbig can be the extra center. backup all 3 interior spots. mcfadden out, one of the young rookie RB's in.

 

You kicked Gunner to the Curb, I heard he looked good this year at OTAs.

I will not be surprised at all to see Dotson show up completely out of shape ffor training camp and get beat out by Green.

I would keep Special Team's Captain Miles Killebrew over 3rd string NT Adams or OLB Quincy Roche.

 

That is a good job and guessing 90-95% right. I worry about Boz. No solid reason but kind of hope we have someone capable in the wing.

 

Unfortunately the only competition on the current roster has a lousy record as well

 

Don't be surprised if UDFA RB Alphonso Graham is the #3 RB, and beats out Mcfarland.

 

I know it was no pads OTA'a, but his name kept on coming up. A guy to keep an eye on, will be fun to watch.

 

This is a good list, but I think Muse makes the team over Roche. He can also play inside and out, he's a fantastic special teamer, and it looks like he can be useful on passing downs.

I think Riley makes it over Norwood, too.

I think Mann is going to push Harvin in camp. I think that one is a 50/50 ball.

And your point is

 

4 or 5 guys who could back up at center.
