Pre-Training Camp Final 53 Man Roster Projection
 

Chiefs talk is completely dead right now, so knowing what we know from OTAs and with preseason right around the corner, I'm going to take another stab at the 53 that I think we will see barring injury or unforeseen circumstances.. starters are in bold. Everything is in depth chart order IMO.


QB: Alex Smith, Aaron Murray, Kevin Hogan. *I think Hogan could take the backup job by season's end.

HB: Jamaal Charles, Charcandrick West, Spencer Ware

FB: Anthony Sherman

WR: Jeremy Maclin, Chris Conley, Albert Wilson, Rod Streater, Tyreek Hill, DeMarcus Robinson

TE: Travis Kelce, Demetrius Harris, James O'Shaughnessy

LT: Eric Fisher, Jah Reid

LG: Parker Ehinger, Jarrod Pughsley

C: Mitch Morse, Zach Fulton

RG: LDT

RT: Mitchell Schwartz

--

DE: Allen Bailey, Jaye Howard, Chris Jones, Nick Williams, Rakeem Nunez-Roches

NT: Dontari Poe

OLB: Justin Houston (sometime in the first month of the season), Tamba Hali, Dee Ford, Frank Zombo, Dadi Nicolas

ILB: Derrick Johnson, Justin March, Ramik Wilson, DJ Alexander

CB: Marcus Peters, Phillip Gaines, Steven Nelson, KeiVarae Russell, DJ White

FS: Eric Berry, Stevie Brown, Marcus Cooper

SS: Ron Parker, Eric Murray, Daniel Sorenson

K: Cairo Santos

P: Dustin Colquitt

LS: Who cares EDIT: Probably Winchester, but he blew last season.

LS ? Who cares ? Really ? Tell that to Coughlin and the Giants a few years back.

LS will be Winchester

I didn't say the position wasn't important, I said who gives a damn who does it.

As long as they can do the job, it's still a position that fans don't even know the name of the opposing snapper almost every game. Winchester is going to have to step up his game to win the job, cause last year he pretty well sucked.

Williams will be on the WR corp and Wilson better not be. Wilson soooooo overrated and when he didn't lay out for that one pass said it all for me. Williams will be the surprise FA acquisition for us this year for sure IMHO. He will be our No.2 if not 1b WR by the latter part of the season.

When did Winchester really screw up ? I don't get to see all Chiefs games.

If Williams produces like I know he can and Streater graduates his game to the next level, and the explosive Hill at the slot position, the combination of Mac,Will,Streater and Hill with Conley making some serious contributions as well, will be a lot of fun to watch in the WC offense especially with a top ten o-line with a very deadly run game with fresh legs at all times. Yes, fellas ! As Andy said, It's Time !! We are poised for greatness this year !!

I was coming in here to post this. I think the surprise cut this year will be Wilson, but that hinges on if Mike Williams can bounce back and be productive. Wilson's grasp on his spot isn't a lock - he produced 35 rec. for 451 yds and 2 TD's, numbers that should be much higher for a true #2.

Maclin
Streater
Hill
Williams
Conley
Robinson

The chiefs #2 wr is gonna be 4th or 5th in line for receptions behind maclin, kelce, the rbs. I don't think they'll ever have a #2 put up big #s

We can argue over the definition of "big", but I just think they need more from the guy across from Maclin. You're right, Kelce, Jamaal, and the other RB's will pull down their receptions, but there is no reason not to expect 5-600 yards and 4-6 TD's from the other receiver spot. If they can find a guy that can do that, then watch out for this offense.

In his 2nd year as an udfa, Wilson did essentially that.

and DAT..... I agree whole heartedly with you. It won't be a surprise for you and me and some others on this board for sure.

DAT is just too soft IMHO.

I get your point and it is a fair point BUT Wilson had a very difficult time getting separation IMHO and if Williams comes back and Streater takes the next step watch how their body size alone with good route running will get them separation in a heartbeat and will get far more throws to them. Just saying.

Justin Houston isn't on PUP, so there's no need to leave him off the roster.

Also, he's going to play Week 1.

Also, your roster sucks.

Also, so do you.
