Attempt at 53 man roster and PS

[phintim]

If we have 3 good CB's, are we really thin at CB?

Jones and Howard have been nicked up in the past and their age is a concern in that area. Do you trust Iggy? Flores was pretty good with backups in this area. So while the oline is a concern we have a lot of high picks, big time fa so there is lots of depth imo. Soo

 

[phintim]

2 QB: Tua, Bridgewater



1 FB: Ingold



4 RB: Edmonds, Mostert, Michel, White (R)



7 WR: Hill, Waddle, Wilson, Ezuk (R), Bowden, Williams. Sherfield (ST)



3 TE: Gesicki, Smythe, Long



4 OT: Armstead, Eich, Coleman, Jackson



4 OG: Williams, Hunt, Jones, Diesch (R)



1 C: Dieter





6 DL: Ogbah, Wilkins, Davis, Sieler, Butler, Jenkins



7 LB: Phillips, Baker, Robert’s, VG, Riley, Tindall (R), Goode (R)



5 S: Holland, Jones, Rowe, McKinley (R), Trill Williams, Feje (ST)



5 CB: X, Jones, Needham, Igbo, Crossen

I would move Hunt to RT and Eich to R guard

Calling it now: In a bit of a surprise, undrafted Safety Verone McKinley makes the team outright (no practice squad).

The kid played behind Holland at Oregon and was the first Freshman in 41 years to lead the PAC 12 in INTs.

I’ve watched a lot of his games and was pretty surprised to see him go undrafted.

I have a best guess, see attached file. Those in yellow are pretty much in.
I believe Rowe is the TE coverage guy unless you play Holland there so he stays.
Fejedelem's contact was restructed and you don't do that if you are going to cut him,
After Williams & Hunt, Kindley has better tape that anyone else at guard and he has played Left & Right so he could be a swing guard. Remember Kindley & Hunt did get some push as a right side two season ago and that may be the fall back position.
Centre #2 is clearly West at the moment but I think it probably somebody not on the roster and West could go to the PS
I think 4 are set on the OL : Armstead/Williams/Dieter/Hunt - the question is does someone claim the RT job or does Hunt move out. Draft position is in favour of Jackson & Eich so they are probably in.
Rb 1-3 is set and Gaskin and White (who is cheaper and can go on the PS) are in a fight to backup Edmonds, Doaks backs up Michael and Ahmed backs up the back most likely to have injury issues, Mosert and therefor makes the roster and can return kicks as in college.
I think Sherfield is above Bowden & Williams because of scheme knowledge and ST play. If Bowden can secure return duties in is in.
Jenkins/Eguavoen/Scarlett are replacable at the bottom by the likes Goode, Shaheen , William or Wilson depending on where the staff think cover is required.
The General (McKinley) is a player and I think he can find a role.
Diesch might be inactive all year but if he falls to the PS someone will claim him especially as he fit the scheme, may need to hit the weight room.

Seems Overthecap may have stuffed up - West is still at the 49ers from everything else I've read. Slightly distracted by Australian Federal election the past two weeks.

Both CB and Safety run 3 deep for Miami. Those 4th - 6th spots are up for grabs. I think Miami eventually keeps 6 CB's and 4 safeties. I'm not counting out Trill Williams or Vernon McKinley just yet. In spite of their odds. Miami is apparently high on both.

At the OL. I think Robert Jones will take the biggest step forward and solidify his spot on the team, perhaps winning the starting RT job? Diesch is a guy who could really surprise due to his superior athletism.

Either Jones or Diesch or Eich as a surprise would be great.

99.9 % of undrafted players don’t make it. History is against him. Good luck doe, it would be a positive sign for the phins if he makes the roster. I’ll play the Rudy song.

Slightly worse odds than guys drafted rounds 5 thru 7. The kid is probably good enough to stick as a 4th Safety, and he’s got the skill set to play ST’s, which helps his slim odds. I don’t know what his personal relationship is with Holland, but if they’re best buds, that certainly doesn’t hurt either.

It’s still unlikely he sticks, but I’ve got a hunch that he does.

Offense- 11 personnel with Gesicki in the slot. Last spot is basically between Bowden, Williams, Gaskin and Ahmed. I'm assuming Ahmed would actually make it to the PS. Fejedelem is no more.

Undrafted players make up over 25% of the league. So it makes sense that a couple of these guys might make it.

I was starting to say it before I saw you post it. People just don’t know. There’s about 15 on average per team.

I sent him a comment about West a week ago... the updates have been slow for awhile... it looks like a one man operation during his vacation...

Lol

In the NFL at the moment, or on opening day rosters? Any link to support that? Not arguing, but I find that number suspect and would like to read further.

So 15 players (on average) on every team are UDFAs from that year? That is not remotely true. There may be 30% total in the NFL, but that is cumulative, and is not representative of an individual UDFA's chances of making a final roster. That number is less than 2%.

For example (from 2020) only 33 UDFAs from the previous draft year made opening day rosters (around 2%).

Only 16 teams out of the 32 in the NFL kept a player on their 53 man roster who went undrafted in 2020. What you said may be true, but wasn't really the context of the discussion. The odds of an UDFA sticking are pretty freaking low.

33 Undrafted Free Agents made the initial 53 man rosters

Reggie Gilliam made the Buffalo Bills 53 man roster after getting signed as an undrafted free agent. I love this signing!
