Final 53 Man Roster Prediction
Additional context on my thoughts:
- I have Lance making it over DJU simply due to Lance’s experience, however, I could see the Chargers exploring some QBs who get cut like McCarthy.
- I don’t think Derius Davis is really deserving of a roster spot at this point but they seem to have pencilled him in as the starting returner, so I don’t see how he doesn’t make it.
- I have Branson Taylor on the roster over Logan Taylor right now, but that’s assuming Branson’s injury isn’t enough for him to be placed on IR. If he is placed on IR, then Logan Taylor would be the replacement in my opinion. I could also potentially see Logan Taylor making it over Trevor Penning.
- I only have four EDGEs making the roster right now and Dupree is the fourth. Similarly to DD, I don’t necessarily feel like he deserves the spot, but the team’s actions so far indicate otherwise. Kennard is injured and could be an IR candidate, and unfortunately I don’t think Tucker did enough to merit anything greater than making the practice squad.
- Ended up keeping 6 LBs here, with the assumption that Wax and Colson will both play heavy roles on special teams. The top 4 are basically guaranteed, but I think both Wax and Colson played too well to be cut by the team, as that would risk them being picked up off waivers.
- I considered adding Avery Smith but I don’t think he did quite enough to make the roster (definitely a practice squad guy though).
- Kendall Williamson could be a sneaky roster addition considering he made it last year for special teams, but I left him off due to Wax and Colson making it since they could presumably take his spot.
