I'm assuming that we can't carry this many on the PS. I also think Wilborn and Uphoff are making the team. Previlion should be cut and Chauncey Rivers should take that spot IMO.

False assumption.  You can.  16 guys.  It's huge.  

53 roster.  16 PS.  5 IR.  (or more).  1 Suspension.  There really will be barely a dozen guys from the 90-man roster who go unemployed and hit the street.  If you're good enough to get a 90-man roster spot, and *if*you can stay healthy, your chance to stay on a 69-man roster are awfully good.

Looks like we will get a pair of OL starters out of this last draft.  Pretty good!!!!

Good news for our future Hall of Fame Franchise QB we drafted last year in round 1. He's got a nice nucleus to protect him starting next year.

Ok. I knew the PS roster number went up but didn't know by how many.

Lets slam our window shut for a guy that more than likely is never even a top 10 qb in the league to rid ourselves of one of the best to ever do it. Great idea .

Did you say the same thing about Favre when Rodgers was riding the bench?

Perhaps I am overthinking, and we will find out tomorrow, but I wasn't all that impressed by Kabion Ento or Isaac Yaidom.  And it has me wondering, why not keep the giant Stephen Denmark?

My prediction kept Yiadom, but I think I like Denmark more.  I also think I need to add Uphoff to my roster, but I don't know if I lose CVL, Rivers, or Heflin for him...

Rivers, or CVL cause neither is making the 53. I agree on Ento, who I was pulling for and Yiadom, who is terrible.

I’ve settled on this as if the end of the 3rd pre season game

 

QB - Rodgers and Love (2)

RB - Jones, Dillon and Hill (5)

WR - Adams, Cobb, Lazard, MVS, Rodgers, Taylor (11)

TE - Tonyan, Lewis, Deguara, Dafney (15)

OL - Bahktiari, Jenkins, Myers, Newman, Turner, Patrick, Kelly, Braden, Runyan (24)

DL - Clark, Keke, Lowry, Lancaster, Slaton, Heflin (30)

ILB - Campbell, Barnes, Summers, Burks, McDuffie (35)

OLB - Smith, Smith, Gary, Garvin (39)

CB - Alexander, King, Stokes, Sullivan, SJC, Ento (45)

S - Amos, Savage, Scott, Black, Uphoff (50)

Specialists - Crosby, Scott, Bradley (53)

 

Once Bahktiari clears the point where he can be put on IR (24hrs after roster cut deadline) that opens up the possibility of either Nijman or Van Lanen taking that 9th spot on the OL. 

Sternberger goes the the suspended list but then struggles to get back on the 53 IMO.

PS candidates (if they clear waivers include Taylor, Benkert, Rivers, Yiadom, Nijman, Van Lanen, Beggelton, Winfree, Gaines

I think Heflin has a better chance to make it to the PS than Nijman. I would hate to lose a guy we spent 3 years developing and lose him and turn out to be a good player somewhere else.

I agree. LT is a premium position and there are teams that don’t even have 2 quality starters. I love how Heflin played, but he should clear waivers as there are many more guys who play his position at his level compared to what Nijman has shown. At ye same time, I think we could get Lancaster on the PS, as well so if they go that route I will understand. 
 

if anything, give him a nod and a wink and let Heflin get on the 53 after Bakhtiari’s plan gets settled.  I still think he would clear to the PS where he can develop.
