Outside of Bellagio .... hard to argue at this point, but it will be interesting to see how some of these UDFAs fare when the competition starts - especially the OL ... Stanley in particular has some fans here ...
 
If Davenport or Calhoun make this team, my first thought is that we've failed... but I suppose they could show up with a new and improved type of play... but I don't see it.

Mind you, as always... I hope that my take is wrong.
 
I think Cox is in jeopardy, Miami doesn't use a lot of fb sets and when they do Roberts (the linebacker) can line up there for 5 or 10 snaps per game. I'm also leaning more toward the idea of having 3 roster rbs and a couple on the practice squad. They likely won't burn through three backs in one ball game and if there are injuries you can alway activate someone midseason. None of the backs we're looking at for the 3rd or 4th spot are much better than free agents you can sign during the season or practice squad players.

They've said multiple times that Robert Hunt is getting the opportunity to play right tackle.

I think they might start camp looking at Hunt at tackle, but that could change by the regular season. It could come down to Hunt and Davis fighting it out to see which plays guard and which plays tackle.

as for the wr spot:

I have Miami keeping 6 with Parker and Williams starting Wilson, Grant Hurns, Ford and Jenning s fighting for 4 spots. With his new deal Wilson is pretty much a lock, however his reworked contract could make him more interesting to some teams who might seek a trade. I would like to see Parker , Williams, Grant, Wilson, Jennings and Ford, but there are going to be a lot of factors going into determining who gets the last 2 spots.

Is Preston gonna start the season on the IR? Could see an extra WR making the roster due to his situation.

Definitely think Cox is on the outside looking in at this point. Thought he was rather underwhelming last year and just don’t see a spot for him. Would rather carry an extra OL or WR.
 
Here's my too early 53:

QB: Fitz, Tua, Rosen
HB: Breida, Howard, Laird or Gaskin, (Perry)
FB: Cox
WR: Parker, Williams, Wilson, Grant, Hurns, Ford, (Perry)
TE: Gesicki, Smythe, Roberts
OL: Jackson, Flowers, Karras, Kindley, Hunt, Davis, Davenport, Deiter,


DL: Godchaux, Davis, Wilkins, Lawson, Sieler, Strowbridge,
LB: Van Noy, Baker, McMillan, Ogbah, Biegel, Van Ginkel, Roberts, Grugier-Hill, Weaver
CB: Howard, Jones, Igbo, Needham, Perry
S: Rowe, McCain, Jones, Fejedelem, Colbert


LS: Ferguson
K: Sanders
P: Haack


Probably a bit off, but seems decent

Agree with everything, nicely done.
If I had a small nitpick it is is that you may see Keaton Sutherland higher than that eg immediate backup center and or guard rather than bubble. Maybe in front of Shaq Calhoun.

Am I right to say we are also entitled to bring 2 practice players up on game day and replace them afterwards.
 
Don't think Cox makes it. Not a ton of playing time this year and we got the LB from NE who can play some FB. Perry makes the team somewhere.
 
This is kind of an odd format to predict a depth chart....

Running backs (4)
Breida, Howard, Ballage, Laird
cuts: Turner

on the bubble? Gaskin, Perry...... so, did they make the team? Or?
 
Ballage is an obvious cut. If turns into Terrell Davis on another team, we at least get the benefit of knowing that there might be some scheme issues.

Otherwise, I'm in favor of keeping as few WR and RBs as possible to get as much redundancy on the O-line as we can bear.
