53 Prediction

[Buffalogic]

This takes into account that Von does not get placed on PUP.

Here's what I think our best 53 looks like:

2 QB: Allen, Allen (Barkley injury starts him on PS)
4 RB: Cook, Harris, Murray, Gilliam
7 WR: Diggs, Davis, Harty, Sherfield, Shakir, Shorter, Isabella
3 TE: Knox, Kincaid, Morris
8 OL: Dawkins, Mcgovern, Morse, Torrence, Brown, Edwards, Van Demark, Anderson



6 DE: Miller, Rousseu, Basham, Epenesa, Floyd, Lawson
5 DT: Oliver, Jones, Ford, Settle, Phillips
5 LB: Milano, Bernard, Dodson, Klein, Williams
5 CB: White, Johnson, Jackson, Benford, Elam
5 S: Poyer, Hyde, Rapp, Hamlin, Lewis



K: Bass
P: Martin
LS: Ferguson



Notable cuts - Matakevich & Neal (ST rule changes makes them more expendable)

This of course doesn't include any trades/claims that could/will be made.

Re: 53 Prediction

You forgot Bates, who will make it 9 OL, and I think they (they said they'll) keep 6 WRs (I think Shorter goes to PS). On defense, they're not dumping Neal and he probably makes it over (and I hate to say this) Hamlin.

You're right, I did forget Bates, he'll obviously make the team.

That will leave off Isabella most likely. Shorter will get claimed they can't cut him.

Re: 53 Prediction

I think that they will initially keep only 5 defensive ends with Miller on PUP.

QB 2 Allen x 2
RB 4 Cook, Harris, Murray Gilliam
TE 3 Kincaid, Knox, Morris
OL 9 Dawkins, Mcgovern, Morse, Torrence, Brown, Edwards, Van Demark, Anderson, Bates
WR 6 Diggs, Davis, Harty, Sherfield, Shakir, Shorter

DE 5 Miller, Rousseu, Epenesa, Floyd, Basham
DT 5 Oliver, Jones, Ford, Settle, Phillips
LB 5 Milano, Bernard, Dodson, Klein, Williams (Spector to IR)
CB 7 White, Johnson, Jackson, Benford, Elam, Lewis, Neal
S 4 Poyer, Hyde, Rapp, Hamlin

ST 3 Bass, Martin, Ferguson

I don't see Shorter making any team's 53. He's done little as a WR and ST'er.

Re: 53 Prediction

I think Epenesa or Basham get traded. Neal probably makes #6 corner.

Thanks for starting this thread.

Re: 53 Prediction

Here is my projection...

QB-2	Josh Allen	EDGE-5	Greg Rousseau
	Kyle Allen		Boogie Basham
RB-3	James Cook		A.J. Epenesa
	Damien Harris		Shaq Lawson
	Latavius Murray		Leonard Floyd
FB-1	Reggie Gilliam	DT-5	Ed Oliver
WR-6	Stefon Diggs		DaQuan Jones
	Gabe Davis		Poona Ford
	Khalil Shakir		Tim Settle
	Deonte Harty		Jordon Phillips
	Trent Sherfield	LB-5	Matt Milano
	Justin Shorter		Terrel Bernard
TE-3	Dawson Knox		Tyrel Dodson
	Dalton Kincaid		Dorian Williams
	Quintin Morris		Tyler Matakevich
OL-9	Dion Dawkins	CB-6	Tre' White
	Mitch Morse		Kaiir Elam
	Spencer Brown		Taron Johnson
	Ryan Bates		Dane Jackson
	Connor McGovern		Siran Neal
	O'Cyrus Torrence		Chistian Benford
	David Edwards	S-5	Micah Hyde
	Alec Anderson		Jordon Poyer
	Ryan Van Demark		Taylor Rapp
			Damar Hamlin
			Cam Lewis
		K	Tyler Bass
		P	Sam Martin
		LS	Reid Ferguson

New players are highlighted in red. That’s 14 new faces, or 26% turnover. Still won’t be enough to satisfy the “change for change sake” guys.

Von Miller starts the year on Reserve/PUP. If he is ready after four games, they deal with making room. Possibly releasing Lawson and bringing him back on PS.

Baylon Spector starts year on IR.

Too many scenarios to guess who goes on PS, and/or who might be brought in after all the cuts are made league wide. This is the first year there is only one cut day from 90 to 53. Should be a free-for-all come late Tuesday.

Shakiest spot on the team is Kyle Allen. Picking up Case Keenum is looking smarter and smarter. He would make a perfect backup for Josh. If needed, he will not be overcome by the glare of the spotlight. Been there, done that.

They won't. When Miller comes off the PUP they'll cut one of them.
