[TheSpecialJuan]

Surprise guy to make the roster his year: Arron Mosby, versatile player who can play LB and EDGE

Same as OP but id prefer K rob and Burris over chandler and franklin, unfortunately those are rhules guys so Id say your analysis is dead on.

Id be surprised if we kept 10 OL. Id expect 9, especially if we keep Cam Erving, whom Rhule likes to point out can play all over the line. Daley, Mays, or Jordan will be cut (heck Maybe Erving- since BC and Daley have T experience too- for cap space despite the Dead money hit).

9 is likely. I think Daley is the cut. Erving and Jordan both started last season (i know, i know) which tells you how the coaching staff roughly views them in comparison to Daley.

EDIT: Also, Daley "might" have PS eligibility

No way Mays is cut

Choose any one of the (players) to be the 53rd man

QB: Mayfield, Darnold (Walker)
RB: McCaffrey, Foreman, Hubbard (Brown)
WR: Moore, Anderson, Marshall, Smith, Higgins, Zylstra (Kirkwood)
TE: Thomas, Tremble, Thompson, Ricci (Sullivan)
OL: Ekwonu, Christensen, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton, Mays, Erving, Elflein, Brown (Daley)
ST: Jansen, Gonzalez, Hekker
DE: Burns, Gross-Matos, Haynes, Barno (Johnson)
DT: Brown, Ioannidis, Roy, Nixon, Hoskins
LB: Thompson, Luvu, Wilson, Littleton, Smith, Stanford
CB: Horn, Jackson, Henderson, Taylor, STO3, Hartsfield (Hayes)
S: Chinn, Woods, Hartsfield, Burris (Robinson)

Updated after reading a bit more.

• Added a 3rd TE after seeing they kept 4 (5 if you count Ricci) last season.
• Removed Daley as I don't see the need. Brady and Erving (and Mays?) can cover T duties if needed.
• I do think we try to add a DT type which may cause Julian Stanford or the 2nd string 3T/NT to the PS.
• Added Julian Stanford (although Mosby is tempting); Stanford let the team in ST tackles IIRC
• Backup S is up in the air. I'm going with the two that play ST ... although it is noteworthy that Kenny Robinson is still on the team. it would have been all to easy to cut him after multiple fights last week.
• I still think we are keeping Roberts in a Return Specialist role
• Added an initial practice squad guess based on being able to keep 16

Mays played RT in college. I would bet money that that he could beat out Daley as a back up.

BTW, I missed the game Friday but know he took numerous snaps at Center. How'd he look?

Bugs me that our starting LG is our backup LT, changing the whole left side if Ickey goes down sounds like a disaster. It will also probably take a Jordan or Erving injury for Rhule to play Mays who looked way better than either of them. 

[Jared Patterson]

We kept like 5 TEs last year and MacAdoodoo uses the TE way more than Brady. Thompson hasn't played, but he's a Rhule guy. 

[Carl Spackler]

I would not cut Julian Stanford.

What is your guess for the initial 53 man roster?

Here is my current guess as to what the roster will look like on August 30th. I will not be surprised if we add to the DL prior to week 1. I could also see us only keeping 9 OL (Daley joins the cut list) and adding an extra DB (Barnes or Robinson) or LB (Stanford for ST).

I think you might see Barnes or Hayes beat STO out.  Also I think because Tecklenburg can play multiple positions he might make it.   I do hope we pick up a couple of O-line vets.

Rhule basically said STO was making the roster a few days ago based on his ST play alone.
