My 53:
QB (2): Hill, Davis
RB (5): Stacy, Cunningham, Mason, Watts, Reynolds
TE (4): Cook, Kendricks, Harkey, Cunningham
WR (5): Britt, Quick, Austin, Givens, Pettis
OL (9): Long, Robinson, Wells, Saffold, Barksdale, Joseph, Barnes, Jones, Person
DL (10): Quinn, Long, Hayes, Sims, Sam, Brockers, Langford, Donald, Carrington, Westbrooks
LB (5): Laurinaitis, Ogletree, Dunbar, Bates, Armstrong
CB (6): Jenkins, Johnson, Joyner, Gaines, McGee, Roberson
S (4): McLeod, McDonald, Alexander, Davis
ST (3): Zuerlein, Hekker, McQuaide
To me the RB, TE, & CB battles are very close.
I'm not sure they carry 5 RBs, but if they don't its purely what the coaching staff values more. Reynolds who doesn't offer anything as a RB, but became a ST ace or Watts who has shown good vision and burst at RB, but is still learning ST. I can see an argument being made for either. I'm thinking Watts could be cut and possibly stashed on PS once Bailey returns.
With the run based O, Fish typically likes to carry 4 TEs. This also comes down to what the staff values more. Do they stick with Bayer who has shown a lot as a pass catcher, but next to nothing as a blocker; or do they go with the strong blocker in Cunningham with bad hands? If it were my decision it'd be Cunningham, because how often will Bayer be taking targets away from Cook, Kendricks, or even Harkey?
CB is a coin flip imo. I'd prefer the solid player in Woodard who does everything solid than Roberson who is good in coverage but is inconsistent with his tackling. However I'm getting the impression that Fish and the coaches really like Roberson.
Additionally I'm hopeful that these players make it to PS:
QB Gilbert, TE Bayer, G Bond, CB Reid, S Bryant
