RPbillsfan Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 After a great draft and signing of undrafted free agents here is my first take on the final 53 man roster we will see for the start of the season: QB : McCarron, Allen, Peterman RB - McCoy, Ivory, Caderet, DiMarco WR - Benjamin, Jones, Streeter, Holmes, Foster, McDonald, Prohel TE - Clay, O'Leary, Thomas, Lee G/C - Miller, Duchasse, Teller, Groy, Bodine T - Dawkins, Newhouse, Mills, McDermott ST - Haucheska, Ferguson, Schmidt DT - Lutulii, Williams, Phillips, Washington DE - Hughes, Murphy, Lawson, Yarborough OLB - Milano, Humber, Stanford, Alexander ILB - Edmunds, Vallejo CB - White, Davis, Johnson, Gaines, Wallace S - Hyde, Poyer, Neal, Bush I'm assuming we may pursue depth at MLB and possible get rid of TE Lee or move McDonald or Proehl to the practice squad.

Doc Brown Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I think Kerley makes final roster at WR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm white and I know there is a resurgance of white receivers in the league but I don't think Proehl will be one of them, sorry. Foster is a guy I like a lot, I like him way better than Proehl and McCloud, I think he has a real shot at not only making the roster but seeing significant playing time, he is my dark horse pick, I like him a lot.

GETTOTHE50 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Why can’t a back up center perform the duties of a long snapper? Lol the long snapper has the easiest !@#$ing gig I swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I’m hoping there is someone there that we are not expecting much from that really steps up and surprises us ( like Milano last year...) I’ll hope for McDermott at RT... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current CBA, there isn’t enough practice time for one player to practice with the offensive live and the special team kicking units. My 2 cents.

RPbillsfan Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Still think we could add a linebacker to the final 53, maybe a Navarro Bowman to help in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Peterman gets cut if Allen shows he is even halfway capable of running the offense One or two of those WRs get PS'ed Lee gets cut (hopefully) (Long snappers are extremely specialized and valued. No, not anyone can just do it - in addition to their other duties. Once you master the skill, and do it correct every time, your an NFL lifer. There are a couple of camps that pump out basically all the long snappers in the NFL, its actually quite interesting. I don't have time to search for the article but there was a great one a couple seasons back about the road to the NFL as a long snapper. Quite good) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbflaBill Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 McCloud makes this team over Cadet. He fills several different holes/needs. 3rd RB, returner, and slot WR. His ability to play several positions is what'll help him make the team. Proehl is a very good possession WR will be a good fit and should develop quite nicely. Still need ILB depth, Edmunds played outside so you never know if he will adjust that well to a new position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The only thing I'd add is: I could see this staff keeping "their guy" Tenny Palepoi over Adolphus Washington at DT. Washington is my "surprise cut" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol the long snapper has the easiest !@#$ing gig I swear. Because most LS are LB sized (see 246 lbs). It might look like an easy job but imagine it's quite stressful as one bad one and your career could be over in a snap 5 hours ago, RPbillsfan said: After a great draft and signing of undrafted free agents here is my first take on the final 53 man roster we will see for the start of the season: QB : McCarron, Allen, Peterman RB - McCoy, Ivory, Caderet, DiMarco WR - Benjamin, Jones, Streeter, Holmes, Foster, McDonald, Prohel TE - Clay, O'Leary, Thomas, Lee G/C - Miller, Ducasse, Teller, Groy, Bodine T - Dawkins, Newhouse, Mills, McDermott ST - Haucheska, Ferguson, Schmidt DT - Lutulii, Williams, Phillips, Washington DE - Hughes, Murphy, Lawson, Yarborough OLB - Milano, Humber, Stanford, Alexander ILB - Edmunds, Vallejo CB - White, Davis, Johnson, Gaines, Wallace S - Hyde, Poyer, Neal, Bush I'm assuming we may pursue depth at MLB and possible get rid of TE Lee or move McDonald or Proehl to the practice squad.

Dont tell me, tell the FO. I'm just guessing at what they will do, not what I think should happen. They've cleared a lot of picks from the previous regime. Washington could easily be on his way out. I personally would keep Washington, but not so sure the FO feels the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I think we add a veteran LB, veteran speed WR and young speed back (make Gilislee when he is cut) to that mix. Lose Lee and Peterman, and Proehl probably to PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
