Now that two weeks of the Carolina Panthers OTA practices have come and gone, I thought I would take a moment and adjust my previous roster projection to reflect what is happening on the practice field. Remember, this is an organic list that will change based on the number of reps each player receives in practice.

Here is my updated 2016 Panthers Roster Projection….

OFFENSE 25

Quarterback (3)
Cam Newton
Derek Anderson
Joe Webb

Tight End (3)
Greg Olsen
Ed Dickson
Beau Sandland

Note: No change here. These are your 2016 Carolina Panthers tight ends. 
Wide Receiver (5)
Kelvin Benjamin
Devin Funchess
Ted Ginn
Stephen Hill
Philly Brown

Note: No change here either. I am sticking with this prediction for now. Stephen Hill has looked like a much improved player. 

Running Back (3)
Jonathan Stewart
Cameron Artis-Payne
Brandon Wegher

Note: Both Artis-Payne and Wegher saw snaps with the second team in practice last Tuesday. Fozzy may be the odd man out. 

Full Back (1)
Mike Tolbert

Offensive Line (10)
Michael Oher
Mike Remmers
Daryl Williams
Trai Turner
Andrew Norwell
Ryan Kalil
Chris Scott
Gino Gradkowski
David Foucault
(Insert Free Agent Here)

Note: I still believe a free agent tackle is coming sooner or later. As of now, David Foucault is backing up Michael Oher. I am not too sure how comfortable I am with that. 

Defense (25)

Defensive Line (9)

Kony Ealy
Charles Johnson
Star Lotulelei
Kawann Short
Vernon Butler
Paul Soliai
Mario Addison
Wes Horton
Rakim Cox

Note: I am trading out Delaire for Cox here based on practice reps. Cox looked solid last preseason and appears to be making strides.

Linebacker (6)

Thomas Davis
Luke Kuechly
Shaq Thompson
AJ Klein
David Mayo
Jeremy Cash

Cahnuh (5)

Bene Benwikere
James Bradberry
Daryl Worley
Zack Sanchez
Robert McClain

Note: McClain has gotten the majority of first string snaps across from Bradberry.

Safety (5)

Kurt Coleman
Tre Boston
Dean Marlowe
Colin Jones
Marcus Ball

Note: No change here. I am really liking Marcus Ball to make this roster.

Special Teams (3)

Graham Gano
Swayze Waters
JJ Jansen

Note: Swayze Waters is in no danger of losing his roster spot.

I really hope we keep a 6th WR and lose Foucault or Mayo

Byrd and Hill both are making the team

Maybe, but not the Byrd you are thinking of.

So is Swayze Waters good, or is everyone they brought in bad?

The other guy shanked plenty of punts... in practice.

 

Practice.

Any news on Arthur Miley?  Would he be above or below Delaire in your current ranking?

Still don't think we'll keep 10 Oline, so that would open up another spot...

Curious if there's any chance we keep Devon Johnson as a 2nd FB to groom behind Tolbert.

Practice.

I'm guessing if he's that bad we bring in more punting competition at minicamp and Palardy could be gone....

[KB_fan]

Oh one other question.  Any hope of other Oline players beating out Foucault on the depth chart?  Yankey?

Are you on the LaRon train? Our size would be completely insane if that actually happened.

Seeing Wes Horton's name surprised me.  After he was released last year, then brought back, and then also missed games due to suspension, I did not think he would make the team this year.  

[JayNasty]

Not a Wes Horton fan, is Larry Webster around?  Hopefully Delaire steps up, still on his bandwagon from that TB game. 

[JustLurking]

your sure about colin jones? he looked like dogsh$t last year

[PhillyB]

i have high hopes for them, but man that is one scary list at cahnuh

This...I need to know about Miley. One thing about Delaire, he had shoulder surgery.
