SO …. Here is how I see the camp battles shaping up:

Hurt, Compton, Polumbus, Nixon and Pashos (5) fighting for two or three spots.

Helu, Thompson, Jamison and Davis (4) fighting for two or three spots.

Baker & Neild fighting for the back-up NT slot.
Merling, [EDIT: Golston], and Worthington fighting for the final DE slot. All five fighting for seventh DL spot.

[EDIT: Tapp v. Jenkins for one spot.]

Biggers, Crawford and Minnifield fighting for one spot.

Pugh, Doughty and Bernstine fighting for one spot.

Paul, Kehl, and Grossman fighting for the 53 roster spot (and possibly Crawford if he loses out in the CB battle – although I think his return skills give him a big boost in that fight).

If you take the low number of all my positional estimates you get 44 players; the high end put is it at 50. Therefore, even keeping the max at every position, we are going to be cutting some quality players who, I think, will be on somebody’s roster and may even get regular playing time during the year.

Outside of the DB positions and the RT spot, the roster is pretty set at the top with quality players across the board – many of them young. Been a long time since that was true.

Maybe Kerrakpo is on to something ….
