Final Roster

They total 42, and the positional breakdown is as follows:

 

QB: 3

RB: 2

FB: 1

WR: 5

TE: 0

OL: 6

 

DL: 7

LB: 9

CB: 4

S: 3

It honestly cannot be that hard to find a longsnapper that is also a DE or LB. That gives you an extra roster spot. I wonder why teams dont do that.

[joey greco]

Chandler is a mortal lock-he's the only TE that's shown a thing and they'll keep at least one. Rinehart and Johnny White are near locks. I'd also think they'll keep Searcy, Cordero Howard, Roosevelt, Huggins, Nelson, Sanborn, and, just for fun, Wrotto.

[RuntheDamnBall]

I see the bubble list as really being narrowed down to these guys. I'm including your "bubble guys," and my 14 choices are in bold. I think there is no chance that they don't bring in a free agent from another team's cuts to fill the final spot. Gun to head, I think a guy they fear losing in cuts would be the 15th choice, eventually to PS (Jasper, K Aiken, take your pick). *Hadn't seen that there were no TEs in your 42, so I changed to Martin/Chandler, going with the "TE not a big part of Chan's offense" argument. I also think you see them retain most of the draft picks though that may or may not necessarily be the best choice.

Searcy, Da'Norris DB 5-11 21822 R North Carolina 27

Corner, Reggie CB 5-9 18127 4 Akron 28

Rogers, Justin DB 5-11 18123 R Richmond 43 PS

Corto, Jon S 6-1 20626 4 Sacred Heart 35

Caulcrick, Jehuu FB 6-0 25728 2 Michigan State 31

White, Johnny RB 5-10 20423 R North Carolina 36

Moats, Arthur LB 6-2 24923 2 James Madison 54

Coleman, Antonio LB 6-1 25425 2 Auburn 60

Eddins, Robert LB 6-3 24822 R Ball State 50 PS

White, Chris LB 6-3 24222 R Mississippi State 95

Sanborn, Garrison LS 6-1 24226 3 Florida State 66

Wrotto, Mansfield OL 6-3 32126 4 Georgia Tech 62

Hangartner, Geoff OL 6-5 29729 7 Texas A&M 65

Howard, Cordaro OL 6-4 32224 2 Georgia Tech 69

Heard, Kellen DT 6-6 34625 1 Memphis 73

Martin, David TE 6-4 26432 10 Tennessee 81

Roosevelt, Naaman WR 6-0 20123 2 Buffalo 19

Chandler, Scott TE 6-7 26326 3 Iowa 85

SURE CUTS (I don't think these guys stand a chance)

Pianalto, Zack TE 6-4 24522 R North Carolina 88

Switzer, Michael C 6-5 29422 R Ball State 63

Brown, Levi QB 6-4 22724 1 Troy 11

[Maddog69]

The thing that sticks out to me that that we have a horrible group of OL on this team. Besides Eric Wood, none of them are definite starting quality OL in the NFL. I don't think it makes one bit of difference which ones they keep and which ones they don't.

 

But to answer your original question, here are my guesses:

 

WR: I hope Roosevelt stays but I have a feeling they will keep Davis

TE: Chandler and Martin

RB: White

DB: Corner, Corto and Searcy

OL: Wrotto, Rhinehart and Howard (I think Hangartner gets cut)

 

Last spot maybe Pinalto, Eddins or Aiken

[dollars 2 donuts]

 

 

...WR: I hope Roosevelt stays but I have a feeling they will keep Davis

 

 

i never swear here and I am not going to start now, but honestly if the above happens.

 

:censored: :censored: :censored:

 

Davis can't catch water when it rains but as a coaching staff let's give him a chance.

[papazoid]

BUBBLE

 

1. Troup, Torell NT 6-3 32623 2 Central Florida 97

2. Moats, Arthur LB 6-2 24923 2 James Madison 54

3. Coleman, Antonio LB 6-1 25425 2 Auburn 60

4. Heard, Kellen DT 6-6 34625 1 Memphis 73

 

 

i don't think Troup is in any jeopardy of not making this team, even tho i'm dogging him in another thread. no way does nix admit this early he made a mistake with his first 2nd round pick.

 

sticking with some lesser names......

 

i like DT Heard alot, hope he sticks.

 

i like the WR Aiken alot, hope he sticks.

[KOKBILLS]

I do think Searcy, Chandler and Troup are locks...Rinehart and J. White are close to being locks...I would be mildly shocked to see Moats get cut...He can play inside and out...

 

My guess is the last 5 will include Coleman, and one from Aiken and Roosevelt as well...

 

We'll see soon enough...

[CSBill]

It honestly cannot be that hard to find a longsnapper that is also a DE or LB. That gives you an extra roster spot. I wonder why teams dont do that.

 

Well, when you don't have a good one, it shows in dramatic ways ..... we have a good one, he's should be at the top of the "lock" list

[The Big Cat]

My initial thought as well. Left him off not knowing if we had a non-specialist talent who could replace him.

 

BUBBLE

 

1. Troup, Torell NT 6-3 32623 2 Central Florida 97

2. Moats, Arthur LB 6-2 24923 2 James Madison 54

I also like WR Aiken. I think definitely gets the nod before Davis.

[Lv-Bills]

I'm too lazy to re-type a whole roster, but I have one question that perplexes me about your post. Why are the numbers for the all of the players one off?

hahaha, excellent observation

 

when you copy paste from the website into a word doc, it's one big block of text.

 

i placed hard returns at the players name (comes through as hyper text, easy to place cursor and bump).

 

but, in doing so, i cut off their number, leaving it on the line above.

 

so what you see is the number of the guy who's numerically one-away accordingly.

[1B4IDie]

Excellent Break Down!

 

I think I agree with your Bubble:

 

Here is my guess at the 11:

 

Roosevelt, Naaman WR 6-0 20123 2 Buffalo 19

Davis, Craig WR 6-1 20525 5 LSU 86 - San Diego fans say he isn't tough enough to sell girl scout cookies

 

Searcy, Da'Norris DB 5-11 21822 R North Carolina 27

 

Corto, Jon S 6-1 20626 4 Sacred Heart 35

 

White, Johnny RB 5-10 20423 R North Carolina 36 Or Hall, I can see Hall too whichever they think will clear through to the PS, so that means Hall

 

Wrotto, Mansfield OL 6-3 32126 4 Georgia Tech 62

Hangartner, Geoff OL 6-5 29729 7 Texas A&M 65

Howard, Cordaro OL 6-4 32224 2 Georgia Tech 69

Rinehart, Chad OL 6-5 32326 4 Northern Iowa 77

 

Chandler, Scott TE 6-7 26326 3 Iowa 85

Nelson, Shawn TE 6-5 27525 3 Southern Mississippi 90

 

PS:

Nesbitt, Joshua DB 6-1 21523 R Georgia Tech 48

Hall, Bruce RB 5-11 20626 1 Mississippi 37

Jasper, Michael DT 6-4 38324 R Bethel College (Tenn.) 70

Caussin, Mike TE 6-5 24424 1 James Madison 83

Aiken, Kamar WR 6-2 21322 R Central Florida 89

Huggins, Felton WR 6-2 18928 2 Southeastern Louisiana 16 or

Wang, Ed OL 6-5 31224 2 Virginia Tech 72 - He may not clear just for PR sake of a team in a city with a large Chinese population

Let's call Davis an outright cut, and put Aiken in his place and we're pretty much in agreement!
