Here's my guess.


quote:

RB - Choose 1 or 2
Daniel Lasco
Marcus Murphy(PS) - Keeping Tommylee Lewis makes it easy for me to cut Murphy.
Travaris Cadet

FB - Choose 1
Austin Johnson
John Kuhn

WR - Choose 1,2, or 3
Brandon Coleman
Tommylee Lewis
Jake Lampman(PS)
Jordan Williams-Lambert(PS)

OL - Choose 2 or 3 - I really have no clue on OL. Nobody is really standing out among the others. Hopefully we sign someone like Schwartz.
Landon Turner
Jack Allen(PS)
Tony Hills
Khalif Barnes
Tyrus Thompson
Avery Young
Marcus Henry
Joe Cheek
John Fullington

K - Choose 1
Kai Forbath
Connor Barth

DE - Choose 2 or 3 - This was hardest position to predict imo.
Obum Gwachum
Bobby Richardson(PS)
Davis Tull(PS)
Darryl Tapp
Chris MaCain

LB - Choose 1 or 2
Nate Stupar
Michael Mauti
Jeff Schoettmer

CB - Choose 2 or 3 - Can't really decide between Dixon & Finnegan.
Brian Dixon
Ken Crawley
Courtland Finnegan

S - Choose 1 or 2
Erik Harris
Roman Harper
Trae Elston(PS)

I am getting real tired of you putting Forbath on the roster. Outside of that I like your other 52.

They've been pretty even throughout the preseason. I wouldn't mind Barth though. Seems to have a bigger leg.

TE(3) - Fleener, Hooman, Hill
OL(8) - Armstead, Unger, Strief, Peat, Kelemete, Lelito, Turner, Barnes

LS(1) - Drescher

DT(5) - Rankins, Fairley, Davison, Jenkins, Onyemata
DE(5) - Jordan, Edebali, Kruger, Tapp, McCain

I don't think they are eligible for the Practice Squad

"If a player has one accrued season, they can still be practice squad eligible if they were on the 45-man active gameday roster for less than nine regular season games."

CJ Wilson is back on the team FWIW. Hope he makes it. He has flashed on a few plays.

Only two I take issue with on your locks are Hightower and Harris.

I do think it's very very likely Harris makes it but I don't think he's a dead lock.

Hightower is fighting for what is likely 1 of 2 spots and Lasco likely gets on because of special teams (but also wouldn't call him a lock). I think it is a three way battle between Hightower, Lasco, and Cadet for two spots, so I can't see him being called a lock.

Edit:
Also Onyemata is a DE not a DT (according to Payton himself), but he'll play both. So that changes it to 4 DEs and 4 DTs as locks.

Pretty much. Even if it's as backup C/G he is making the team.

Tim Hightower
Daniel Lasco
Marcus Murphy
Travaris Cadet

FB - Choose 1
Austin Johnson
John Kuhn

Brandon Coleman
Tommylee Lewis
Jake Lampman
Jordan Williams-Lambert

OL - Choose 2 or 3
Landon Turner
Jack Allen
Tony Hills
Khalif Barnes
Tyrus Thompson

John Fullington

K - Choose 1
Kai Forbath
Connor Barth

Looking at who we lost to injuries and cutting Lewis, I think Hightower just might hang on unless we keep Gwacham or McCain.

Give me Cub Cadet and Lasco. Murphy can't hold onto the damn ball.

Give me Kuhn.

Just Tommy-Lee Lewis

Pass

Forbath

Guachum and Richardson, maybe Tapp

Mauti

Dixon and Finnegan


Take Harris and Elston and sign Harper as a coach.
