2019 Depth Chart Tracker/53-man Roster Predictions

Last year or so, Kyle said that he wants to have always three quartersbacks.

Even if Jerrick Mckinnon stayed healthy, I still think Coleman starts this year. Coleman has the talent to get 2,000 yards from scrimmage, McKinnon?? Not so much. I think Coleman will be the "gas" of the offense. He makes that offense so much more dynamic.

Good breakdown AB. I like Bourne but i think James could be special for us in the return game. We really need some big plays

Nice list you put together there AB.....it's very possible that your list is gonna be very, very accurate as to the actual final 53 roster. Only a 2 or 3 player difference from those who do not make the final cut imo.

Brah. DJ Jones is not getting cut over LaRoy Reynolds... smh

Ward will fracture his fingers when he unbuttons his pants to take a leak so wipe him off the list.

A couple of others on that list probably won't make the cut, throw Bourne back into the mix.

Who the hell is this Leroy cat?!!

Really solid list but I think D.J Jones makes it and Damontre Moore does not. I have Skule over Wesley Johnson.

Thanks. This is a totally new defense. I've been listening to numerous podcasts with scheme focus and it sounds like the traditional 1T might be done in this wide 9 scheme. As a result players like the old Earl Mitchell and now, D.J. Jones won't be valued as much. Instead, Kocurek may be looking for more active 3T/4i type of gap-shooters. Guys who can disrupt in the backfield. Also, less need for Big Ends and Big LEO's...more speed rushers which is why Moore was probably brought back. In addition, you need 3 real off ball linebackers now and the depth need to add ST value as well. Scheme changes require different players. I don't think the FO is done either.
