UL Players and NFL Rosters

[RaginDave]

OK so we are now done with the draft and 5 of the potential 7 players we thought might find their ways to NFL rosters (we all knew that would be a stretch) have found homes. Now we need to figure what are the chances of these guys sticking around.

Clearly Robert Hunt being taken early in the 2nd round is a no-doubter
Kevin Dotson being a 4th rounder is also pretty good lock

Raymond Calais will have his work cut out for him, but if any player can do it it is him. The Buc's currently have 6 running backs on the roster including Calais. Ronald Jones, last years starter and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who was taken in the 3rd round are probably locks. 4th year pro TJ Logan who only has 5 carries in his career is on the roster, 2nd year pro Dare Ogunbowale has 11 career carries, but 2 TD's is on the roster as well as Aca'Cedric Ware who has never appeared in an NFL game. I think Raymond could make the roster based on his competition and/or make the practice squad.

Michael Jacquet and Jamarcus Bradley also have their work cut out for them. The Browns did select a WR, but it was in the 6th round so he also will have his work cut out for him, the last spot could be a competition between Donovan Peoples-Jones and JaMarcus Bradley. The Browns have 8 WR on their roster besides Bradley and Peoples-Jones. All indications are that OBJ could be traded and Jarvis Landry is a lock. The other 6 guys are 2-4 year players with limited NFL numbers. So while their is lots of competition, Bradley has a chance. The Eagles did draft a DB in Kvon Wallace out of Clemson to go with 10 other Corner Backs on their roster.

Nick Ralston and Jacques Boudreaux were not picked up by anyone so their journey my be a little tougher.

Good luck to all Cajuns making their respective NFL rosters.

The two linemen will stick this year for sure. Either as regular roster or the backup team.

That is what I said above, Hunt is a lock to make the roster, barring injury or just something crazy. Dotson, should be pretty locked in as well, but if he does not impress he is an option for the practice squad, but I would assume he makes the opening day roster. Everything else is up in the air. I am pulling for all of the others, but I really hope Calais and Bradley find their way on rosters.

I truly believe Calais will make the Tampa roster cut on special teams... Bradley has a legit shot to make the Cleveland roster... there receiving core is not a threat outside OBJ and Landry..... Bradley would fit well as an outside threat for them and you can move Landry inside.... that will be a camp worth watching.

Hunt may start as a rookie. Dotson will be on the 53 man roster.

Calais is a very good kick returner. Let's remember that your ability to contribute on special teams is paramount when you're a late draft pick or near the end of the 53 man roster. Calais has that working for him. At worst, he's on the practice squad.

Saints expected to sign Jamis s Winston today or tomorrow. They signed Hill to a two year deal giving him every chance to become the replacement for #9.

They also traded for a 7th round QB this year. They gave up a 6th round next year for him. So that's what I heard last night.
