Predict the 53 man roster (who will get cut?)

So last season the Hawks started with:

2 Quarterbacks
5 Running Backs
5 Wide Receivers
2 Tight Ends
10 Offensive Linemen

Then on Defense:

11 Defensive Linemen
7 Linebackers
9 Defensive Backs (4 safeties)

And on Special teams (3):

P Jon Ryan, K Steven Hauschka, Snapper Clint Gresham.




Assuming the roster is close to this...

I am going to predict:

2 Quarterbacks:
Starter: Russell Wilson
Backup: Tarvaris Jackson


5 Running Backs:
Starter: Marshawn Lynch
Backups: Robert Turbin, Christine Michael, Spencer Ware, Derrick Coleman

(Cutting Ware would leave no backup fullback, and this year, signing Mike Rob is not an option....although I would love to go with four backs in order to keep Phil Bates at WR).



5 Wide Receivers:
Percy Harvin
Doug Baldwin
Jermaine Kearse
Paul Richardson (Rookie)
Ricardo Lockette (Mainly for Special Teams)

Injured Reserve: Kevin Norwood



2 Tight Ends
Starter: Zach Miller
Backup: Luke Willson

Injured Reserve: Anthony McCoy



10 Offensive Linemen
Starters: LT Russell Okung, LG James Carpenter, C Max Unger, RG J.R. Sweezy, RT Justin Britt (Rookie)

Backups: C/OG Lemuel Jeanpierre, OT/OG Alvin Bailey, C/G/T Stephen Schilling, G Caylin Hauptmann, G/T Eric Winston





Then on Defense:



11 Defensive Linemen
Starters:
Tony McDaniel, Brandon Mebane, Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett

Backups:
Jordan Hill, Kevin Williams, Cassius Marsh, O’Brien Schofield, D’Anthony Smith, Greg Scruggs, Benson Mayowa


8 Linebackers
Starters: Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright, Malcolm Smith

Backups: Bruce Irvin, Korey Toomer, Brock Coyle (Rookie), Mike Morgan, Kevin Pierre-Louis (Rookie).

Injured Reserve: Heath Farwell



8 Defensive Backs (4 safeties)
Secondary (8)

Starters: RCB Byron Maxwell, LCB Richard Sherman, SS Kam Chancellor, FS Earl Thomas

Backups:
Jeron Johnson, DeShawn Shead (Safety)



And on Special teams (3):

P Jon Ryan, K Steven Hauschka, Snapper Clint Gresham.
Tharold Simon, Jeremy Lane (Corners)


(This is where I think we will see a difference. Last year, the Seahawks carried a 5th corner. This year, I think they will drop one and stick with an extra linebacker).



CUTS:
Daniels, B.J. QB
Pryor, Terrelle QB

Lewis, Patrick C
Isles, Nate G
Gilliam, Garry T

Helfet, Cooper TE

Bates, Phil WR
Presley, Morrell WR
Walters, Bryan WR

Small, Kiero FB

Adams, Phillip CB
Auguste, Akeem DB
Parks, Terrance DB

Pulu, Andru DL
Staten, Jimmy DT

There going to have 3 tight ends. No matter what. TE's are more valuable than FB's, you've over the last couple of years TE being used as H-backs, which is a substitute for a FB. Also I doubt they keep 10. Olmen, my guess is 9 OL, 3 TE, 6 WR, 2 QB, 5 RB/FB.

Pretty fair prediction. Might get 50 out of 53 depending on surprise IR redshirts or something along those lines.

I'm curious if K Small has done enough to stick... He'll get claimed off waivers before making it to the practice squad.

I would keep Kiero Small rather than Spencer Ware, anyday. Heck I would keep Small rather than Coleman.

I would be shocked if Kiero Small cleared waivers to make it on our PS. The only possibility maybe is that FBs are heavily devalued most of today's NFL teams.

QB: 2
RB: 5
WR:6
TE: 3
OL: 09

Total: 25

QB: Wilson, Jackson
RB: Lynch, Turbin, Michael
FB: Coleman, Small
WR: Harvin, Baldwin, Kearse,
WR: Richardson, Walters, Norwood (if I.R.d Lockette)
TE: Miller, Willson, Helfet (or waiver)
OT: Okung, Britt, Bailey, Winston
OG: Carpenter, Sweezy, Schilling
OC: Unger, Jeanpierre

DL: 9
LB: 7
DB: 9

LEO: Avril, Schofield
DE: Bennett, Marsh
DT: Mebane, McDaniel, Williams, Scruggs, Hill

D'Anthony Smith could make the team over any of the last 3 DTs.

WLB: Wright, Smith, Pierre-Louis
MLB: Wagner, Croyle
SLB: Irvin, Morgan

Pierre-Louis looked to have got hurt ? if he's I.R.d then Mayowa take his spot.

CB: Sherman, Maxwell, Lane, Simon, Auguste
FS: Thomas, Shead
SS: Chancellor, Johnson

Auguste had a so-so game but I think it was his first of the PS. So he still looked marginally better than Adams who got destroyed by lil' Carr.

Practice Squad (best scenario):
QB Daniels
RB Bronson or Ware
WR Bates
WR Matthews or Kevin Smith
TE Allen
OL Gilliam
OL Hauptmann
DE Mayowa
DB Terrance Parks
XX ???? ????

When is the roster cutdown deadline?

Because usually its a feeding frenzy of rosterbation around here.
