- - Final 53 (https://blackandgold.com/saints/94741-final-53-a.html)

QB - Brees, Bridgewater, Hill
RB - Kamara, Murray, Washington, Ozigbo
FB - Line
WR - Thomas, Smith, Ginn, Carr, Butler, Harris
TE - Cook, Hill, Arnold
OT - Armstead, Ramczyk, Ola
OG - Peat, Warford, Clapp, Tom
C - McCoy, Easton

K - Lutz
P - Morstead
LS - Wood

DE - Jordan, Davenport, Hendrickson, Edwards
DT - Onyemata, Brown, Stallworth, Williams
LB - Anzalone, Davis, Klein, Robertson, Ellis, Biegel
CB - Lattimore, Apple, Williams, Crawley, Hardee
S - Bell, Williams, Gardner-Johnson, Gray, Banjo

Mack, Hampton, Grayson, Gustin, Tuttle, Greenidge, Kaufusi and Kelly to the PS.

-The health of Robertson and Biegel could shake that up.
-Ola and Easton aren't locks. Neither are good.
-I think they roll the dice with Butler over Kirkwood. Kirkwood has been injured and looks to have peaked. Butler has a larger upside.
-Harris is not a lock but he could be that x factor that wins a game or two.
-Haven't seen enough from Mack or Hampton to be worthy of a roster spot.
-Never cared for Robinson. He played well in Philly's magical season. That's it. Crawley can cover outside better and Hardee is a special teams ace.
-Would like to see Humphrey make the PS but I think someone like Houston, Tennessee or Miami will take a chance on him.
-Derby deserves to make the team but they will stick with Arnold.

^^ No interest in developing Jordan Humphrey/Simmie Cobbs? Or do you assume he'll be poached by another teams practice squad?

An embarrassment of riches makes them PS candidates.

Not sure Ginn makes the cut this year.

Only 3 RB make the final roster. Ozig to PS
Lose a G, add a LB (fear of C Robinson injury)
I want Patrick Robinson on the roster instead of Crawley (and don't forget we signed K Webster)

Payton loves guys who can catch out of the backfield. Ozigbo does that really well.

The Wizard of Oz makes it!

Savvy vet Ted Ginn cut ? Who replaces him Smash? A unproven, undrafted WR? He missed 7+ games last year, came back clutch late in the season and into the playoffs. Outside of Mike and JCook, there is no safety net to run precise routes, separate and make plays consistently.

I just don't see how he's cut ... not this year.

Derby keeps doing what he is doing and Arnold drops another pass I can see Derby making it over Arnold.
I don’t think it’s that Easton isnt good but McCoy is better than expected. Easton will be excellent backup and he can play other positions if he has to around week 6 when Armstead goes down.

No way in hell Humphrey, Ozigbo, or Cobbs makes it to PS
Anzalone to IR or PUP.

I love Humphrey. I think the staff loves Butler. Cobbs is NFL average at best. He can find a roster spot in the NFL. Just not with the Saints.

The Saints won't take that type of leap this year. Ginn is proven. He's reliable. He's a big play guy. Smith and Kirkwood flashed last year. Then, they disappeared. The young guys don't have to be great. But, they have to be consistent. I mean, it's going to be Thomas, Kamara and Cook seeing 75 percent of the targets.
