Re: Your final 53

Lets start with the guys we know are making the team:

Campbell, Collins, Brennan
Portis, Betts, Cartwright
Sellers
Moss, Randle El, Thrash, Kelly, D. Thomas
Cooley, Yoder, Davis
Samuels, Jansen, Kendall, R. Thomas, Rabach, Heyer, Fabini, Rinehart

23 on offense

Suisham, Brooks or Frost, Albright

J. Taylor, Carter, Griffin, Golston, Montgomery, Evans
McIntosh, Fletcher, Washington, Blades
Springs, Smoot, Rogers, Torrence
Landry, Doughty

16 on defense

Okay, so the offense should be a lot easier to figure out than the defense. They don't need anything more at any specific position, so I'm guessing they keep Mason and Geisinger to make 25 players on offense. If they keep another WR, I think Mix gets the nod, but if he's not healthy enough to play in the last preseason game, they will open with 5 WRs.

Defense is much more wide open, obviously. I'm starting to think that they are only going to keep 5 linebackers...they just haven't made much of an effort to improve the position. Alfred Fincher stays, the rest go. On the DL, I could see them keeping up to ten, with Alexander and Boschetti reinforcing the tackles, and Erasmus James and Rob Jackson adding some additional situational pass rushers to the mix.

This opens the door for ten members of the secondary to be on the 53 man roster. The team will be able to give Justin Tryon more time to develop without forcing him to be active, and they will be able to keep Richardson at the beginning of the season, along with the other 5 corners. Richardson may not finish the year with the team, but I think he'll be on it Week One. The rookies Kareem Moore and Chris Horton will fill out the roster at safety, with Vernon Fox on the wrong side of the bubble.
