I thought they had a few odd picks in there, but here's my opinion...

QB - Agree
RB - I'd like to see Ozigbo in there, but they might think they can sneak him onto the PS
FB - Agree
WR - I think we keep at least 6 WR's if Deonte Harris is 1 of them. I'd take Cobbs, Butler, or Lil'Jordan as the 6th WR
TE - I wouldn't be surprised if Derby made it, but our #3 might not be on the roster right now
OL - I think this is actually a very good guess if Chris Clark is done & we don't sign Jermey Parnell
ST - Agree
DT - Rankins won't be on the opening roster. I think they give the #4 DT spot to Mario Edwards if his injury isn't serious
DE - Since I'd put Mario Williams at DT...I think either Wes Horton or Porter Gustin takes the #4 DE job
LB - 7 LB's is a lot, but the 4 backups are all very legit on ST's. This could end up happening, but I hope it doesn't
CB - I think we need 1 more CB since Hardee is 1 of them. Sherels is basically done, so the last CB spot has to go to Webster or Crawley
S - Agree

WR is going to be the toughest to call. If I had my way it would be Thomas, Ginn, Kirkwood, Smith, Emmanuel Butler and Deonte Harris and pray to the man upstairs we can sneak Lil Jordan on the practice squad.

If the coaches know that Lil'Jordan isn't going to make the cut...I'd actually start sitting him so we have a better chance of him sneaking by teams.

Also, I doubt Cobbs makes it past waivers.

In the end, I think it will come down to Butler & Cobbs for that last spot.

We have some pretty good PS candidates this year...

RB - Ozigbo. I wouldn't do it, but the coaches might think they can sneak him onto the PS. They did it with Boston Scott & he got poached by the Eagles eventually.
- Washington. If he doesn't make the team. He might still be PS eligible.

FB - Shane Smith. Don't know anything about him.

WR - Butler. If he doesn't make the team.
- Cobbs. If he doesn't make the team.
- Lil'Jordan. If he doesn't make the team.
- Carr. If he doesn't make the team. He might still be PS eligible.
- Grayson. I know he won't be poached. VERY good chance of making the PS imo.
- Travin Dural. Not much of a chance.

TE - Alize Mack. I think we could get him on the PS unless he blows up in the next 2 weeks. He finally practiced today.
- Arnold. If he doesn't make the team.
- Griffin. He might still be PS eligible.

OL - Clapp. If he doesn't make the team.
- Derrick Kelly. He's looked good enough to try & develop.
- Greenidge. Don't know much about him.
- Marcus Henry. Don't know anything about him.

DT - Shy Tuttle.

DE - Porter Gustin. If he doesn't make the team.
- Corbin Kaufusi.

LB - Darnell Sankey. He might still be PS eligible.
- Colton Jumper
- Drew Lewis

S - J.T. Gray
- Terrell Williams Jr.
- T.J. Green. He might still be PS eligible.

If CSP thinks Carr can get open in the passing game, then I have no problem with that. That's my only problem with Carr.

Said he has football IQ and knows the routes and the D to get open in space. We will see.

I’d replace the third TE with a WR and swap out JizzRod for Ozigbo

Technically, Carr should be good against zone defenses. I would think that beating man coverage would be more difficult for him.

Has Harris taken a snap at WR yet? Seems like they would play him there a little. I want to see Grayson return some kicks and punts as he seems pretty good at WR.

TE(3) - Cook, Josh Hill, A.J. Derby


Wouldn’t surprise me. I’d like to see Mack make a push these last two games and see Arnold go to the PS.

Banjo

Ugh. Better than Gray, but Gray probably ends up with that spot.

Based on Saints Talk, no way Teddy makes the 53 and Taysom is the #1

I could see banjo not making it but I don't remember how much guaranteed money they game him.
at this point Harris is a lock over sherrels.

Dan Arnold is making the squad over mack.
