Predicting the final 53

That said the neutral portion of it is that our culture and team building is positive enough that if players had a choice of Practice Squads and teams, and I am sure some did, they chose to stay here.

It's still only the second year of our rebuild and we've come much farther than I expected. We're still working on the overall team depth but we seem to have upgraded some units since last season.

Specifically, here where I hope you'll agree we've probably gotten better:

Defensive Backfield
Offensive Line
Wide Receiver
Tight End

Units that might be a little better:

Quarterback - Hard to say at this point and we still need that "Franchise" QB.
Running Back - Ummm, I dunno. We'll see.
Defensive Line - We got Matty I back at DT but lost Ryan K at DE. Backup DE's seem to be weak.

Units that seem to be about the same:

Linebacker - Wafer thin depth.

Units that might have slipped a notch:

Special Teams - K seems to be declining. PR/KR sucks, as usual.
