Pre-Training Camp Final 53 Man Roster Projection

[pugsnotdrugs19]

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.

Hill will be the #4 weapon behind Maclin, Kelce and Jamaal IMO. It's no secret we wanted Brandin Cook 2 years ago, probably bc he had the same skillset DeSean Jackson had. Now they get the same kinda player but built to stay on the field.

I think you'll see Hill play not only the role DAT played, but he's going to get some slot routes mixed in.

They didn't draft this guy with this big of a risk to just play ST's and be a decoy. They've already used the guy at WR a lot in minicamp.

Thats what I've been thinking. It sounds like if they can get the ball in his hands we'll see some exciting plays.

So who will be returning KO's if we cut Davis ?

Hill is built like a brick shit house. He's not frail like DAT and McCluster. He really packs a punch when he runs with the ball.

He was great on special teams last year. I'm a big Alexander fan on kick coverage.

You got that right !! He will definitely be breaking tackles and staying on the field.

I like all your roster except we will agree to disagree on Williams. Wilson gets cut and Williams pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

[RealSNR]

Chiefshrink, did Albert Wilson rape your dog or something?

I'm not saying you have to like him, but you seem pretty aggressive towards him getting cut when the Chiefs don't really have anybody that has absolutely ripped the job of #3 WR away from him at this point in the offseason.

Yes, Streater had a good season three years ago and Mike Williams was doing great stuff for the Bucs for awhile. Both of them been utter dogshit the past two years. And no, I don't mean underwhelming or disappointing. I mean dogshit. Absent. Worthless.

Wilson is much younger than both guys and has improved from his rookie year to now. He's a limited player who will likely never be a starting-calibre receiver, but given the respective career trajectories, it makes all the sense in the world that he's going to stick around over either player.

If you have some kind of inside info on Wilson, please share it with us, because if it's just the usual, "Herp, he doesn't dive for catches derp" then I'm going to ignore everything you say about him.

Shrink, I don't see any way that Wilson gets cut. Heck, it could be argued that he was the second best receiver on the squad last year. I kinda doubt that we magically found 4 guys better than Wilson in the off season. Of course, it'd be nice if we did as that would bode well for the squad.

Another guy most are saying will make the team is Dadi Nicolas. Again,it'd be nice, but this guy is gonna be very raw for the position. At this point, I'd have him as a practice squad guy.

Lastly, I'm unsure about Murray, Bray and Hogan as backups. One will probably go to practice squad -- just don't know which one. They must like something about Bray, and word is that Hogan's picked things up quickly, so I'm gonna guess that Murray will get moved and it'll be Alex, Bray and Hogan.

Dane, I think you did a good job with your 53 -- you only missed on three!!!

The Chiefs aren't likely to cut Nicolas if Houston is unavailable for Week One. Considering this is a "Pre Camp" roster, I don't expect Houston to be available.

Bray is on his final chance. The Chiefs have more invested in Murray and Hogan so unless Murray just shits the bed (which I don't expect), Bray is a goner. Murray isn't eligible for the Practice Squad and if Hogan is as advertised, sneaking him through waivers isn't an option.

My bad. I was thinking he was pencil thin and weighed in at like 170

Yeah, I get you regarding Nicolas, but gosh he's gonna be raw as can be....plus, he's not all that big either. Oh well, most of the great minds on CP think he'll make it. So be it.

Personally, I don't get the love for Bray, but the fact that the Chiefs extended him has got to say something. I think size really works against Murray, but the guy put up some terrific college stats. Again, I think they'll keep Bray, but just because of size, arm and "potential".....I like Hogan....a lot. I think we got a steal with this guy.
