I think the UDFA Hall (the speedster) makes the roster. That's me MSU at this point. I don't really have a problem with the pick, just surprised a little bit.
Relatedly, looking down the road (in a best case scenario where everyone develops into NFL quality)
Wims replaces Robinson
Hall replaces TGab
Ridley backs up Miller
is that about right? (talking about putting the cart before the horse)
mpbears listed the roster like this:
2 QBs
4 RBs
7 WRs
4 TEs
8 OL
25 on OFF. Some will have to be STers (Bellamy/Cunningham/Brown all gone)
Going to be a fun summer/TC/PS for sure.
WR
- Robinson, Miller, Gabriel, Patterson (also will get some rushing snaps/carries), & Ridley are locks to make the roster. That's 5 right there.
- Assuming they keep 6 (which is typical), that leaves Wims, EHall, and MHall fighting for the final spot.
- Obviously if they choose to keep 7, 2 of those 3 are in. Tanner Gentry is gone 99% chance. Dude couldn't make the team in 2 seasons so bye-bye.
- The Ridley pic is a Robinson backup and Wims hedge. I think ARob survives the cap cuts coming next year but Pace gave himself options in case of injury to Robinson or Wims not progressing.
- Doesn't take a genius to figure out that signing EHall as a priority UDFA is an obvious Gabriel hedge. He's a cheap replacement for 2020 that allows you to release TGab and save $$$. Problem will be protecting him this year. If he looks like crap in preseason, prob can stash on PS no problem. If he shows promise, EHall is either gonna have to be added to the 53 or get the IR-redshirt. Look for him to have a mysterious "ankle sprain" or "muscle pull" around Labor Day so the Bears can protect him for next year and avoid poaching.
- Yeah I think Marvin Hall is in trouble and may not make the roster.
RB
- Run DMC (Davis, Monty, Cohen) are obvious locks.
- 4th spot looks like a battle between Whyte and Nall and the former has the advantage cuz of STs. Loser gets stashed on the PS.
- I can't see us keeping 5 RB/FB again this year given that Burton barely played and Nagy's O doesn't really need a FB.
TE
- Probably keep 4
- Dax is a UDFA that makes perfect sense as the 4th
