Good observation. I had 14, so, probably a little low but not by too much. Think WR and LB could have more turnover than I projected.

I expect with how settled our D is from last year and for the most part our starting 11 on O our turn over is going to be a little less this year.  Again thanks for starting this...   I really enjoy playing with this kind of thing...  Got my spread sheet already formed...

84 players on the roster FYI

Curious to know about Deuce Vaughn’s return capabilities. Wonder if they might be inclined to keep RoJo (or Zeke!) over Turpin.

Surprised to see Bohanna on the list. Feels like 0 snaps available for him after Mazi and Hankins.

You have Steele on PUP?

I think Turpin has a spot, for better or worse. Can never have enough speed. The two guys I have over him are on thinner ice imo. Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if the RB2 isn’t on the team yet. This was kind of a “53 best guys” check-in for me

Didn’t want to cut him and Gallimore, went with the cheaper guy the current DC* drafted. 3 NTs may seem excessive but I think Mazi can move around a bit.

Yeah. It’s a long season. I also think we should limit Pollard’s work early in the year. Mostly it’s a way to guarantee Tyron RT snaps and sneak in more backup linemen.

Something to consider as we think about our roster projections - I believe that every Cowboys draft pick has made the initial 53 man roster (or been IR/PUP) every season since 2019.

Jalen Brooks feels like a long shot, but Eric Scott is probably a roster lock unless he’s a complete disaster.

We had two guys not make the team in 2019- Mike Jackson and Mike Weber (both made the practice squad). Jalen Jelks was IR'd

In the McCarthy era though, everyone has made the initial roster (or been placed on a reserve list) as you said. Ridgeway was waived after Week 1 last year, but we still have 8/9 draft picks from 2022, 11/11 from 2021 and 4/7 from 2020.
