My thought on the final 53

biggrouper said:
I am by no means an expert - I'm a fan and a bit of a homer too at times but here are my thoughts on the opening 53. I haven't included any thought on other teams possible cuts because they don't exist yet.

Offence

2 qbs - Tannehill and Moore
10 OL - Albert, Coleridge, Pouncey, Satele, James, Thomas, Smith, Fox, Turner and Garner.
4 - TEs - Clay, Sims, Lynch, Hoskins
4 Rbs - Miller, Moreno, Williams, Darkwa
6 - Wrs - Wallace, Harline, Landry, Gibson, Wiliams, Mathews

Notes - They may PUP Pouncey and if they do they will pull someone from another team for the first 6 weeks. Hoskins and Darkwa are definitely uncertain at this point. I feel we will protect them from the PS - they may not make the active roster every week but they have put in the effort at positions of need during the Practice season.

Defence

9 Dl - Wake, Vernon, Odrick, Starks, Mitchel, Shelby, Johnson, Frances, Fede
6 LB - Misi, Ellerby, Wheeler, Jenkins, Tripp, MCcain.
5 CB - Grimes, Finegan, Davis Aikins, tripp
4 S - Delmas, Wilson, Jones, Thomas.

# SP (SET) Fields, Denney and A Kicker

The team will have to decide who is gone once Jordan and Jones return after 4 weeks. I think it will be a RB and Thomas(S) I think A Johnson is on the 53 to protect him from the PS. Might not make the active roster every week.

Predictions for the 53-man roster are fun to read, but if you want to do this correctly, I think you really need to make it a 50-man prediction, not 53.

As soon as Hickey releases the 53-man roster on cut-down day, he is going to immediately begin culling through the lists of cuts from other teams, looking for a few acorns. For each one he signs, he will have to cut someone from his original list of 53. I would guess he is going to sign at least 3 guys to the roster, who are not currently in a Dolphins uniform. It seems to me that the Dolphins could really use (at least) one more O Lineman (Dallas Thomas is going to get Tannehill killed, not sure if carrying Brenner on the roster this year gives the Dolphins any value other than he is cheap), a TE (Hoskins is a good story, but I'd like to see him on the PS for a year), and a RB (Moreno really showed last night what we've been missing, and need more of, hope they keep Darkwa on the PS for a year). I wish the Dolphins could pick up another LB, but that could be tough, given that they have so much money tied up in a few of their underperforming LB's.

I agree that the first 53 man roster will not be the final 53 and an OL pick up would not be a surprise meaning one of the OL making the initial 53 will likely be gone. If Hoskins is put on the PS he will be plucked by another team, imo.
 
i dont see how anyone can put Lynch or Hoskins on the p.s.
that would not be a smart move
