[THEdraftnik]

Jason Hunter will make the team over Beal. And I doubt Manny makes the roster.

[Zhoutai34]

The most solid projection ive seen so far if you ask me

[MHSalute]

PUP does not count against 53 man roster, and Warren is ineligible.

I think these guys make the team:

OT Herb Taylor
DE Jason Hunter
DT DeMario Pressley

[SoundsOfSuccess]

Replace Larsen with Fells and keep Rosario and I think you have it spot on.

[since 86]

I think Britt Davis will beat out Riley and I agree with MHsalute that Pressley and Hunter will make the team but im also rooting for Beal to make a roster spot.

Pump Blue, Bleed Orange!

[Kansas Bob]

So who do you have on the 8 man taxi squad? I like the list but I think Denver will pick up a man or two from other team cuts?

change beal for hunter and your probably right. Hunter is way ahead of him on the depth chart

[Hoserman117]

Looks really good, but I'd say swap out Beal/Harvey for Hunter, and I think Herb Taylor will make the roster over Ramirez.

Also, I think Britt Davis will make it over Eron Riley.

Harvey has been playing good. Hunter for Beal makes sense.

Agree with Britt Davis.

[Hoserman117]

Harvey has been playing good. Hunter for Beal makes sense.

Agree with Britt Davis.

Harvey has been okay, he looked pretty average against the Cowboys and I didn't notice him do anything against the Bills. I think we could cut Harvey or Beal at this point and not really bat an eye.

[Kansas Bob]

Has anyone heard how that new DT they signed of waivers doing by now. I am thinking his name is Pressley? Didn't see him on this squad.

[MHSalute]

RCB-Cassius Vaughn (Run downs), Andre Goodman (Pass downs)

Ideally yes, and I could see Goodie pulled on 3rd and 2 or less. Unfortunately, those are the only true running downs in the NFL.

As of now, I am hoping we go out and get a Leon Hall or Brandon Flowers in free agency next year...shore up the right side with a guy who plays both the pass and run well.

Granted they have to hit FA.

Mike Mohamed starting? idk about that. also, I definitely like Vaughn more than Syd on KR, but i favor Syd on PR.
