Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Here's my entirely too early projection:

Offense
QB (3): Smith, McCoy, Hogan
RB (4): Guice, Thompson, Perine, Bibbs
WR (6): Doctson, Crowder, Richardson, Quick, Davis, Quinn
TE (3): Reed, Davis, Sprinkle
OL (8): Williams, Moses, Scherff, Nsehke, Christian, Lauvao, Roullier, Bergstrom

Total: 24

Defense:
DL (6): Allen, Payne, Ioannidis, Settle, Lanier, Hood
LB (9): Kerrigan, Brown, Foster, Smith, Anderson, McPhee, Harvey-Clemons, Hamilton, Vigil
CB (6): Norman, Dunbar, Scandrick, Moreau, Stroman, Alexander
S (5): Swearinger, Nicholson, Everett, Smithson, Apke

Total: 26

Special Teams (3)
Hopkins, Way, Sundberg

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

I like a few of your dark horse picks in Quinn and Bibbs

I dont think we keep 3 qbs, though. I mean I won't mind if we do but I think they use that roster spot to keep someone else.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

I'm keeping Hogan because McCoy is a FA after this year, maybe he'll want to roll the dice elsewhere.

Depending on how things go this summer of course but Hogan could be worth keeping around to develop.

This is exactly how I see the depth chart come SEPT

SIDE NOTE: This is the most talented roster the Redskins have had since the 90's

I like Hogan and I like the prospect of developing him, just a matter of roster space i guess. Thats one position i think we might feel a squeeze

Were you able to bust out this list out of memory without looking at roster? Think you even spelled all the names right.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

The coaches apperantly love that RB Bibbs. Interesting if they will keep him. From what Im hearing, Fat Rob vs Perine will be a battle. Im all for keeping Perine over Fat Rob.

Really great job.

I think the only thing I would change is that I'd say they keep 4 safeties, with Smithson on the practice squad, and they put either Stacey McGee or Phil Taylor on the roster as a 7th defensive lineman. I could be wrong though - the new kickoff rules may mean that they need to have a smaller overall lineup for kickoff coverage and hence the need for 11 DBs in total.

It's also possible one of the younger Guards beats out Bergstrom for the backup G/C position but that's too small a thing to even quibble about. I think you're right Bergstrom probably wins that one. He can play so many spots.

The 4th RB spot will be interesting. I think I agree with you - Fat Rob will lose out. Bibbs would be more valuable as a special teamer and they seem to like him.

Good stuff. Fun to think about.

Probably because I'm a guy and my name is Ashley and I get called Ms. all the time.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

The roster seems set for like 50 of the 53 spots.

Do we keep 3 QBs? Who will be on the team in secondary? Hood or McGee?

I think those are the main spots with questions.

This is on basis of full health. This can change quickly.

Yeah I could see keeping 7 DL and I also agree with keeping one less safety. I kept Bibbs over Kelley since he's a little more versatile. Perine and Kelley are similar banger types. Bibbs brings more to the table for 3rd downs with his receiving ability.

I was surprised at how easy it was to put together, there are a few minor spots up for grabs but really nothing major. And yes injuries can change the equation very quickly.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Looks good though 8 OL seems light after last year, especially as Christian is a rookie who needs developing and hoping to get a full season out of Lauvao seems optimistic to say the least....

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Agree with most of your roster prediction, difficult to disagree.

A few points could be made:

1) I do think [U]Smithson[/U] could be cut to keep [B]Maurice Harris[/B] who's shown some potential and whom our coaches seem to like quite a lot.

2) The argument could be made that [B]Kelley[/B] could bump [U]Bibbs[/U] out if he has a good camp.

3) [B]Kalis[/B] might beat [U]Bergstrom[/U], but old Todd played decently last year IIRC.

4) Maybe [B]Taylor[/B] ends up getting a spot. Then who's out? [U]McPhee[/U]? Unlikely. [U]Anderson[/U]? Too early. [U]Vigil[/U]? I like him quite a lot... [U]Hood[/U]? ... Hard to say.

Back up interior Oline is completely up in the air...agree there. I still wonder with Christian as the Swing Tackle...if in Nsekhe role could be more focused inside?

From what Ive heard about RB, Coaching staff like both Bibbs and Marshall...and have been described as more of a backs up of a fragile Chris Thompson. That's why they would keep 4.

Guice....Perine/Kelly as 1 and 2nd down workhorse type RBs

Thompson....Bibbs/Marshall 3rd down/special packages/change of pace backs.

So Guice and Thompson are obviously making the team. But expect 4 here.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Yeah that's why I went with Bibbs over Kelley. Bibbs is more of a 3rd down type, a backup to CT basically. Maybe Kelley beats out Perine but I don't see them both here.

Don't you see Maurice Harris making the team though ?

Outside of that one big TD catch against the Vikings last year what did Harris really do? The coaches may like him but they're also high on Davis.

These down the bottom of the chart guys are hard to predict, it just feels strange to imagine Harris being cut after being praised by Jay last year.
I really could see him over Smithson. Our DB squad is quite deep already.

Just put Guice at the 1 spot for RB. Really like what Im hearing about this Danny Johnson kid...he was a baller in that small league.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

The WR and RB positions are really wide open competition. At RB, after Guice and Thompson, I would assume Perine and Marshall make it, as backups for Guice and Thompson in that order. That means Kelley and Bibbs are out. I think Kelley has to beat out Perine (and perhaps could) and Bibbs has to beat out Marshall (and perhaps could). I have a feeling Martez Carter has no shot.

At WR, you figure we have Richardson, Doctson, and Crowder as locks, and then after that it is crowded with Quick, Harris, Davis, Cobbs, Quinn, Sims, Kidsey, and Fields (I don't even know who the last two guys are). Harris has looked good in TC per the reports, and it sounds like coaches are intrigued by the size of Davis, Cobbs, and Sims, and the hands of Quinn. No idea who makes the roster, although I would think that Harris has the best shot of this group, with Quick and Davis a shade behind.

Not sure if the depth chart released today says much of anything.

[QUOTE=Chico23231;1197349]Just put Guice at the 1 spot for RB. Really like what Im hearing about this Danny Johnson kid...he was a baller in that small league.[/QUOTE]Yeah the chart at RB makes no sense at all: Kelley first, Thompson and Bibbs second, Perine and Marshall 3rd, Guice and Carter 4th?
IMHO coaches use these early unofficial depth charts to motivate players.
A 2nd round rookie who allegedly had character issue? Put him last and make him earn that starter spot so he doesn't spend camp believing it belongs to him because of where he was drafted.

Don't know how much truth there's to that, but I feel like this would be a good use of these. Also avoids having a locker room of veterans hating on a rookie who would have been given someone else's spot too easily.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Link isn't working right now. I hope R. Davis makes the team. At WR, its hard to pick a top 6 tho, gonna cut 1 or 2 guys that could contributors. I'd like Doctson, PRich, Crowder, Quinn, and Robert Davis. I don't know how to pick the 6th guy. Either way there will be a guy or 2 I'd like to keep in ideal world.

Who was listed # 2 at LG?

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

sorry double post

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

All I've been hearing from JP Findlay and his crew is that Kelley has looked better than Perine in camp. They also said that Gruden mentioned that Kelley could potentially play FB in some situations.

Given this, how is it that people think Perine will beat out Kelley? Of course, we still have the preseason games.

I think they may end up with 4 RBs, since you want a backup for Guice and one for Thompson.

Kelley and Perine could both make it.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Lotta decisions to be made...couple things to watch

1. Health of Perine and Marshall. I’m really hope Jay won’t keep Kelly bc he simply likes him....but there is legitimate concern he will. Hopefully Perine is ready cause that impacts the Kelly spot more than anything.

2. Can DJS and Monte make it through the year healthy? When it comes to depth, I’m a little worried. Everrett is solid depth...Apke is the worst safety in the league if he has to take the field. Like to see us add someone here from cuts.

3. As expected the interior Oline depth is some of the worst in the league...again another add here would make a ton of sense.

4. Sims needs to make the team as WR. On display the other night..it was evident that the starting passing game struggled. This was with Reed and Crowder so I’m less worried than others. But still Doctson was a no show....I’m giving him the first 8 games of the season then it’s time to give someone else a shot.

5. We got a young Corner group..again, not shocked if we add someone.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Marshall could end up on IR

I think the decision comes down to Bibbs or Kelley

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

Based on Gruden's statements, it seems like he believe he must have a backup for Thompson so I believe Kelley will be cut by the time we set the roster.

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

There is no need for Kelley and Perine both now that Peterson is here

Re: Let's project the 53 man roster
 

I think Kelley is a virtual lock to make the team for two reasons.

1. He may be a bit of a plodder but he is versatile. He can play on all three downs. He catches the ball well, he is said to be our best pass protector, and he may be able to play a little fullback, as well.

2. He is durable and therefore available. His availability should not be overlooked.

Bibbs is our CT backup so I don't see him getting cut.
