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...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
And then there were five (5)...
We now have five RBs/FBs left to fill three likely spots with Ingram, Kamara locks... |

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
NT (2) 95 - Tyeler Davison, 99 - Jay Bromley (FA 2018), 96 - Woodrow Hamilton, 76 - Taylor Stallworth (UDFA)
DT3 (2) 98 - Sheldon Rankins, 93 - David Onyemata, 68 – Devaroe Lawrence, 62 - Henry Mondeaux (UDFA) 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. |

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
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. |

No surprise since he’s suspended to start the season. |
