Believe the longer Davenport's injury prolongs itself, the better the chances of Mitchell Loewen making this roster...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Since PJ Williams is in the last year of his deal why not trade him to Miami for a late-round pick? Then we go into the season with Lattimore, Crawley, Robinson, Jamerson and Maulet with the option of Hardee if we want to keep six.

Literally was going to say the same thing, send PJ to them, we have a few young guys up and coming.

With the collection of depth we have in 2018, I'm a bit interested in seeing who ends up on the practice squad :p.

We're deepest we've ever been at CB, but you know what can happen (see Okafor); I'd rather stay with the deep roster for a legit Championship Run...

Now, if they want to send over something we need, say TE Mike Gesicki, I'd send Williams and exchange like our fourth and their sixth round picks...

Betcha that several of our practice squad players aren't even on our roster right now as other teams will likely sign, even trade, for our cuts...

Clapp's performance will determine whether we keep eight (8) or nine (9) offensive linemen...

If Clapp is awesome, we keep eight and let LeRibeus geaux; if he's solid, still showing inexperience, we keep nine...

Ranking our offensive linemen - Unger, Ramczyk, Armstead, Peat, Warford, Bushrod, Clapp, Leonard, LeRibeus...

I saw that last year he graded out with a 77.7. I’d cut Banjo and roll with Iloka. Von Bell can slide back to Free. Iloka is a better strong safety than Kurt Coleman and Von Bell in my opinion. I think Iloka is the final piece to the puzzle of a top 10 defense.

Maybe. My concern is whether Iloka lost a step (i.e. age, undisclosed injury) or was it strictly a numbers game as it often is with Mike Brown and the Bengals...

The reason I like the Coleman signing so much is I don't see much of a future for big strong safeties and two-down thumper linebacker in a pass-happy league...

That's why there's such a premium on guys like Polomalu; if Iloka can no longer cover, then it's like Kenny V, Harper and it becomes a problematic matchup headache...

SS 29 Kurt Coleman, 24 Vonn Bell

Agree about QB, we're keeping three; Savage is too much a check-down specialist, eliminating our deep speed advantage; Hill needs more live round reps...

Hill could eliminate Savage from the equation with a bounce-back performance; but I think the Saints play it close to the vest on this one...

At RB, agree that Scott, Williams make the roster; disagree about FB, as it's Edmunds OR Line, not both...

Right on-board with you at Tight End, and I wouldn't be surprised if late-add John Phillips or a TE - To Be Named is a fourth TE; Hooman is done, not available...

Offensive line looks right, with Bushrod first out behind Mr. Glass, Peat; Clapp backing Warford, Unger; and Leonard is coming on late...

DE is right as well; Kikaha is a 4-3 OLB and should have been traded two seasons ago; Payton & Co. really screwed him and us by not moving him...

Would really like to keep another NT for goal line packages; but on second thought Onyemata and/or Lawrence could fill-in; this is gonna be toughest of cuts...

The more I look at LBer, the more I see only six making the roster; we're seeing more and more 5-2 and nickel than 4-3 base, but you've got the right six...

Jumper needs more work and I was surprised to see him moved to OLB as he's been a Mike LBer in college; Practice Squad candidate...

Jayrone had his PreSeason moment; Cardinals were ready for him and he was neutralized as has been his MO...

Don't see Kamrin Moore making the active roster - too far behind, still nicked up; sneak him on practice squad and develop him for later...

That leaves P.J. Williams vs Arthur Maulet; don't know why but P.J. always plays down to competition, even though he has more physical talent...

Maulet has really gotten exposed for his height in the Pre-Season games and that's why it comes down to Maulet vs Hardee and I'd take the bigger guy...

Hardee has shown amazing progress trusting the coaches with the position change and rewarding them with much improved play; also, a plus Special Teamer...

Really like your post...

Tough cuts here. I've liked what I've seen from Devaroe, Bromley and Hamilton. From reading reports, Bromley has been the more consistent player thus far.

Boy you're right, Major...

Having been in the desert so long at defensive line and now all this talent from which to choose - hell, it's gonna hurt cutting some of these players...

87 - Brandon Tate (FA 2018) .. I've cemented Tate in (unless he falls off a cliff over the next 2 games) as punt return specialist for 2018.

With Boston Scott emerging, I think TommyLee is gone.

Since the league has adjusted the kickoff rules for 2018, I wonder if (if any) that will have any impact with the Saints and how the 53 man roster will shake down? It will be very interesting to see who Coach Payton "hides" the last 2 pre season games in efforts to slide them over to the practice squad.

The prevailing thought around the league seems to be that teams will keep more depth at CB and S. We typically keep 5 CB’s and 5 S’s but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we kept as many as 7 CB’s thanks to the special teams prowess of Hardee, Maulet and Jamerson.

Jamerson was a better safety than cornerback that Payton & Allen have moved back to cornerback; so at ten (10) that would be fairly well covered...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
I predict 7 corner backs to make the final 53.

Crawley
P Rob
Lattimore
P.J. (for now)
Hardee
Jamerson
Maulet

97 - Al-Quadin Muhammad ... IIRC he started with the 1's last pre season game. Don't think he made a play. Very quiet camp thus far.

Hopefully he gains momentum.
