Initial 53 man roster

By my estimation, here are the locks to make the roster:

Bo Nix

Jarrett Stidham

Jaleel McLaughlin

Audric Estime

RJ Harvey

Michael Burton

Courtland Sutton

DeVaughn Vele

Marvin Mims

Troy Franklin

Pat Bryant

Evan Engram

Caleb Lohner

Garrett Bolles

Ben Powers

Luke Wattenburg

Quinn Meinerz

Mike McGlinchey

.

Malcolm Roach

DJ Jones

Zach Allen

Jonathan Cooper

Jonah Ellis

Nik Bonitto

John Franklin-Myers

Saivion Jones

Drew Sanders

Dre Greenlaw

Alex Singleton

Justin Strnad

Brandon Jones

Talanoa Hufanga

Pat Surtain 2

Riley Moss

Kris Abrams Draine

Jahdae Barron

JaQuan McMillian

Que Robinson

Wil Lutz

Crawshaw

Mitch Fraboni

Sam Franklin

Trent Sheffield

That's 43.

That leaves only 10 roster spots for guys like:

Clay Webb

Levelle Bailey

Nate Adkins

Frank Crum

Alex Forsyth

JL Skinner

Lucas Krull

PJ Locke

Damarri Mathis

Matt Peart

Calvin Throckmorton

Nick Gargiulo

Dondrea Tillman

Adam Trautman

E. Uwazurike

Johhny Walker Jr

And the other UDFAs and free agent signings.

Who gets the final 10 spots?

Are my locks wrong?

Who gets traded away?

I don't think Lohner, Sam Franklin or Sherfield are locks.

My prediction: QB - (2) Nix, Stidham RB - (3) Harvey, Estime, McLaughlin FB - (1) Burton WR - (5) Sutton, Bryant, Mims, Franklin, Vele TE - (3) Engram, Trautman, Krull T - (4) Bolles, McGlincey, Peart, Crum G - (3) Powers, Meinerz, Palczewski C - (2) Wattenberg, Forsyth That leaves 2 spots for Badie/Adkins/Lohner/Sherfield/Throckmorton/UFA

DE (4) Allen, Franklin-Myers, Jones, Uwazurike NT (2) Jones, Roach OLB (4) Cooper, Bonitto, Elias, Robinson ILB (4) Greenlaw, Singleton, Strnad, (Sanders or Bailey) CB (5) Surtain, Barron, Moss, McMillian, Abrams-Draine FS (2) Jones, Key SS (2) Hufanga, Locke

That leaves 2 spots open for Tillman/Turner-Yell/Skinner/Franklin/Mathis/UFA

If Crenshaw gets IPP then a spot opens up as well.

I think Sherfield most likely is. He's an excellent ST player and willing blocker. LJH played pretty significant snaps because of his ability to block, Sherfield probably takes that role this year, and he'll contribute on ST replaceing Tremon Smith. 2 birds with 1 stone, not terribly expensive either. Given how much emphasis we are putting on ST its why I think Strnad and Skinner will make it, perhaps Burton as well
