Looking at where we need bodies, and where they may come from.
QB (2)- They could just go with a practice squad guy as the 3rd QB, but obviously, a spot to watch for an addition.
RB (3)- the team has traditionally kept 4. And you could still make a case that they need a scat back type to serve as a poor man's Reggie Bush. Another spot to watch for an addition.
WR (6)- I think they like all 6 guys. And I would not be surprised to see them all kept. But, one certainly could go to make room for someone else.
FB/TE (3)- I actually don't think this number will change. Mastrud may not be the guy sticks around, but I think it will be 2 pure TE and Clay as the h-back.
OL (9)- don't think the number changes, but could see Jerry being waived to make room for a better T.
DL (8)- One of the spots could be in danger. Merling could be traded, or Baker or Kearse could still be waived. But, I also would not be surprised to see this left as it is.
LB (10)- We have carried 10 LB at times during the Ireland era, but never to start the season. One of these spots, and possibly two could be cut to make room for someone else. Spitler and Mitchell shouldn't get too comfortable, as 5 ILB really seems excessive.
CB (5)- don't think you'll see any changes here, numbers or personnel.
S (4)- ditto
ST (3)- ditto
