With the Picks In, Who is Leaving the Roster?
-
DI Wilson will definitely make the final roster as well.. Elliot, Togiai, Jackson are 3T while Billings and Wilson are NT.
ST roles will determine which backup TE/LB/DB/WR make the final roster.
-
I'm not sure the contract they gave to Wilson guarantees he makes the roster. They spent big on UFA Green last year, and he ended up on the practice squad. It will be very interesting to see how they handle the LB room. I think Mac makes it before TakiTaki, but that's just my opinion. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Fields and JOK hang out in the safety room as well. Yes, they are not "true" safeties but because of their hybrid abilities, I'm guessing they will have some of those responsibilities as well.
-
I suspect that Mack Wilson IS in the plans.....at least the plan to allow him to compete for a roster spot.
I dunno. I think we drafted 2 LB'ers because Mack Wilson is not the guy. I'm not so sure that he makes it to training camp.

I am hoping that works out. Often, I think, these "tweeners" sometimes can't cut the mustard. JOK seems an exception, hopefully.

I can see Greedy Williams being a potential training camp casualty.

If he is still not healed back to 100%, then very well could be gone.

I can see that too.

there will be alot off shifting of players after training camp. due to our cuts and other team cuts.

I agree with most people here that Mack Wilson had an awful draft weekend if he wants to make the team...
But the other one I thought about was Higgins. I hope the plan is adding WR talent in the draft (#91 overall 2nd rounder Schwartz) so in the near future we make a WR room with whoever stays from the LSU duo (Landry, OBJ) as we won't be able to have them both, and some reliable WR2-3 (Higgins).
It's ironic liking that much a WR3, but I think he adds a lot to the team in that roster spot. I think he definitely has a place in the 2021 roster but it's always a tricky game trying too keep him and the team happy.

Gosh, I hope not. It'd be nice to get some use out of high draft picks.

Yup. He always seems to be 'on the bubble'.

Here are the cuts I made from my roster as the picks came in:
Rd 1 Newsome CB > R. Jackson, CB
Rd 2 JOK LB > E. Lee, LB
Rd 3 Schwartz WR > J. Bradley, WR
Rd 4 Hudson OT > A. Taylor, OT
Rd 4 Tommy Toga, DT > S. Day, DT
Rd 5 Tony Fields, LB > M. Wilson, LB
Rd 5 LeCounte, S > J. Moffatt, S
Rd 6 Fenton RB/WR > Did not immediately add him to roster, could be a protected practice squader, but the guy to beat out is Jo Jo Natson for kick returner.

I think our FA DT from Florida State will find the motivation to put all that talent to use. Someone has to go from somewhere on the team, but not necessarily at DT. Fisher did not just happen upon this kid in a cabbage patch when he was HC at FSU. He was a 5-star HS player who may have lost some motivation after Fisher left for College Station. But there is talent for sure.

versatility and speed, ability to cover (no more TE's getting open across the middle...)

The possibility of bringing back Sheldon Richardson makes it even more difficult ....
-
Call me biased but the only teams to have a good a draft as us in my opinion were the Jets and Panthers..... Panthers got marked down on that review Texas for not having a good start but having a good end ..... I thought the first 4 picks were terrific for them. Bears were 4th best as they needed a QB

RE: Da Bears... They gave up a ton to get Fields, they had better be right.

For Greedy, it's either be healthy, or be gone. Nerve injuries take a long time to heal, but after a year, if he's not 100%- or damn close to it, time to cut bait.
I'll take it with the Browns drafting a CB in the first round as a vote of no confidence in Greedy. Regardless of what Berry said.
-
Here's guessing Fields and LeCounte stick because they'll be ST stars who aren't useless when getting non-ST snaps due to injuries.

He'll have a chance to make his mark, he might be another guy we protect until next year ... I hope he brings it.

A couple of questions about the protected list.
1. How many are there? I think it is 2
2. Do those player still have to pass through waivers before they can be protected. I think yes.
In both cases, I don't know.
