This one seems a bit easy this year...Here is my 53 man roster prediction.

Quarterback (3): Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard

Hoping that the Steelers receive calls and gain a draft pick for Thompson

Running Back (3): Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell

Nichols should make the practice squad

Wide Receiver (6): DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin, Curtis Samuel, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek

If Omar is who we all think he is, there is a WR out there that will be brought in and should push Skowronek out.

Tight End (4): Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward

Baby Cam squeaks in due to injury

Offensive Line (8): Broderick Jones, Isaac Seumalo, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, Troy Fautanu, Calvin Anderson, Spencer Anderson, Andrus Peat

Listing Anderson and Peat was tough to do here...the OL really lacks depth. If any Starter is injured, look for Aaron Rogers to be buried into the Heinz Field turf. (NO, I will not call it by the other name)

Defensive Line (7): Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton, Derrick Harmon, Yahya Black, Isaiahh Loudermilk, Daniel Ekuale, Logan Lee

Logan Lee makes the roster, and I agree with Berm's assessment in the game day thread of needing an IV of Peanut butter. LMAO.

Edge (4): T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, Jack Sawyer

Does it get any easier than picking these four?

Linebacker (5): Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, Cole Holcomb, Malik Harrison, Mark Robinson

I really like this group and the depth is there. Look for Holcomb to be the thumper on short yardage situations.

Cornerback (6): Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr, Darius Slay, Brandin Echols, Beanie Bishop, James Pierre

James Pierre will not go away, and Trice is making it easy for him. Dude can't stay healthy and it's disappointing to say the least.

Safety (4): DeShon Elliott, Juan Thornhill, Chuck Clark, Miles Killebrew

Elliott and Thornhill start let's hope they stay healthy.

Special Teams (3): Chris Boswell, Cam Johnston, Christian Kuntz

I take back my statement on the Edge group, this was even easier.

The only thing I disagree with here is adding Curtis Samuel... we dont need another sub 6 foot wr with injury issues...

I just hope if they do keep 6 wrs instead of 9 ol, its one of McCutcheon or Johnson, not Hurleman, who i dont think will translate to the regular season well, or Williams... who is redundant to the other guys we have
 
Looks pretty accurate for the most part. But agree it's pretty easy. I dont see Skowronek as being replaced he is special teams Maven. Rogers has heaped praise on Heyward for knowing where to be. Hope Harmon is active and not IR for season. I only caught first quarter ladt night. Did Wakemen melt as a punter?
 
I’d say you’re pretty spot on…

At QB- I think they IR Howard and keep Skylar

At WR- no need for Samuel, maybe go with just 5 or a different scrap heap player that brings some size to the room

At OL- did I miss something, did McCullom get hurt? If he is healthy I think he makes the squad eliminating the 6th WR or another “last 3 guys” type of player like ILB Robinson

At DL- guessing they may keep an extra (maybe Lowry?) depending on the severity of the Harmon injury.

LS- guessing the new guy gets the nod to start the season at least until Kuntz is healthy. Didn’t catch how long he was supposed to be out.

And while I wouldn’t keep Connor around I’m sure the Steelers will do everything possible to not further piss off Cam…so he’ll likely get a spot too

Lowry is on season ending IR

And you are likely right about McCollum... they went out of their way to keep him last year and they like him as the top backup C. With how young the line is they probably keep a 9th... plus Oline is really hard to replace midseason now...

aww ****
Missed that he got injured

I guess that would leave the door possibly open for the guy who is always almost making a play, Leal, or maybe a scrap heap guy if Harmon is out for an extended period of time. I could see Cam tweaking something as he works his way towards game shape/contact and if that happens, they instantly become really thin on the DL. Between the Harmon (and Lowry) injuries and Cam's hold in they won't have much in game shape early. Benton, Black, Lee, Ekuale and Loudermilk isn't a very impressive 5 (not counting on too much from Cam until we see where his head and physical conditioning is at).

Can Mount Washington play DE? jk
 
I think the initial Roster will keep all 4 QB’s but will then IR Howard so he can return instead of season ending him before the final roster. The initial 53 roster will not be the opening day roster by a long shot.
 
I'm definitely keeping Thompson. I'd IR Howard.

If Rodgers goes down, then it's just Mason with nobody behind him at the moment who can play.
 
First cuts just made. Didn't recognize many of the names. Hull ran a few. They cut Mcquiad the fill in at long snap. But that likely means Kuntz is fine. Or possibly Mcquiad is so ****** they have to go elsewhere on the street.
 
They cut the new long snapper. My guess it either means Logan lee is the temp til Kuntz isnt sore anymore... or they will resign him or someone else as soon as they finalize the roster and IR Kuntz

With injuries they need the spot to stash some players.
I'd be putting Logan Lee on your roster predictions

Hi all guys! I gave Luckster Casino a try and honestly, it’s a pretty solid site for slots in the United Kingdom. The variety surprised me, and I enjoy how smooth it works. Nothing too flashy, just a comfortable place to play. If you’re also looking, maybe this is worth a try. Wishing you good times friends!!!
Make sense.
 
My semi surprise is Bruener . He was pretty active overall. Just trading one ST guy for another…
 
Its Bruener vs Robinson vs ab extra DB... id lean Robinson with Bruener on the PS if they can get him... our ILB depth went from nothing to stacked in 3 years lol
You might be right. I think that is probably the normal prediction.

Berm endorses this list.

Especially my "red beans, rice and peanut butter IV" statement...

McCallum might have hurt his brain trying to count how many penalties he had last night.
