Crappy projected 53

[broughtupbears]

Quarterback: 3

Mike Glennon solid but how solid.

Mitch Trubisky da future but how soon and how good?

Mark Sanchez - I'm over it.

I actually hope they only keep 2...


Running back: 5

Jordan Howard

Tarik Cohen

Benny Cunningham

Jeremy Langford

Michael Burton

I like cunningham and cohen and im not happy with langford but maybe he fonally gets it...

"Burton was effective at fullback for the Detroit Lions last year, and will take over that job in Chicago."

Wide receiver: 5

Meredith to No. 1 is a big ?

Wheaton, Wright and Cruz have all had success at The NFL level.

White is Truly "The wild card"

Showed athletic prowess coming out of college but has had injuries derail his career.

Tight end: 3

Miller is injury prone and is now in his early 30s.

Sims is a great blocking TE who has potential in the receiving game... kind of reminds me of Bennett with his head screwed on correctly.

Shaheen is a mix of the two and mentoring from the above could be magic.

Offensive line: 9

Leno solid but how good?

Sitton great but how long?

Whitehair da future.

Long legend but injuries?

Massie massive... but isn't putting it all together.

Grasu idk.

Kush solid back up.

Sowell and Compton idk and tbd

Defensive line: 6

Jaye Howard -

Akiem Hicks

Eddie Goldman

John Jenkins

Mitch Unrein

Jonathan Bullard

Howard, Hicks and Goldman monsters

Bullard seemed to lose his quick first step, maybe over thinking but needs to take a step mentally and physically to have success in the NFL.

Jenkins can have success rotating with Goldman at nose but may struggle of has to take the whole load without a healthy goldman.

Linebacker: 8 and PUP

Danny Trevathan (PUP)

Leonard Floyd da future if he can keep his head up.

Pernell McPhee boss when he can walk.

Willie Young formidable

Nick Kwiatkowski did good work in limited time should continue to improve.

Lamarr Houston versatile but $

Jerrell Freeman great acquisition. Hopefully he continues his reign of terror without PEDs

Christian Jones - didn't know if he was still on the team.

Dan Skuta - i only follow bears and haven't investigated this guy much...

Defensive backs: 11

Prince Amukamara

Marcus Cooper

Kyle Fuller

Quintin Demps

Eddie Jackson

Adrian Amos

Cre’von LeBlanc

Bryce Callahan

Deon Bush

Harold Jones-Quartey

Deandre Houston-Carson

Amukamara, Cooper and Demps 3 new starters?

I hope Amos can keep his job at safety abutnd have Jackson pushing him...

Fuller HUGE ?

LeBlanc one of the taller midgets last year.

Jones-Quartey and Bush struggled but good for ST and have potential. But WTF do I know about backups that I don't watch it get to know personally.

Specialists: 3

Connor Barth

Pat O’Donnell

Patrick Scales

I honestly don't know or care.


Bastardized from https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fa...ars/early-53-man-roster-projection-bears/amp/

It's notable that I disagree with some of these projections but thought it would be an interesting conversation point.

I hope you're wrong about Langford over Carey.

Neither have really shown anything to care either way.

 

[SuperDitkaMan]

Neither have really shown anything to care either way.

Depth should always be a concern to fans.

Carey has shown some ST and goaline value.

Besides Howard...he's the only other capable between the tackles runner.

 

[Noonthirtyjoe]

Carey has played well in his limited time. Howard not so much.

Huh???? I'm sure you mean Langford.

 

[JordanHoward24]

McManis will make the roster over Houston-Carson.

do you think Houston -Texas - Carson will be cut?

Agreed Howard seems to be a fringe player at best

 

[Bearly]

LOL. We all know he meant Langford.

 

[JordanHoward24]

Probably, he may spend time on the practice squad this season.

The way some people post on here I wouldn't assume anything.

 

[WindyCity]

Deinondre Hall will make the team

Roy Robertson-Harris has a legit shot.

Daniel Brown has apparently been having a great offseason and he flashed last year. I think he makes it over Miller or they keep 4.

NFL teams rarely keep 9 OLmen.

8 LB would be a light Number considering how many have to play special teams.

 

[WindyCity]

I see no value to HJQ or Houston-Carson being on the team.

Agreed, I don't see how anyone can have Robertson-Harris or Hall being cut.

Is Roy Rob-Harry our new Cormwash? The guy on the team that's a physical monster, randomly flashes, but is otherwise always injured or under-performing?

I was hoping this would lead to someone doing a better 53.

 

[greg23]

The Bears should and likely will keep 4 te's as brown and brauneker have value and upside.

In fact if brown shows well in the preseason i could see them dumping miller

 

[Chicago Staleys]

They are not keeping 5 RBs on the active roster.

 

[Gaucho]

Bears will keep Sanchez at #3 due to his mentorship qualities to Glennon/Tru

Langford AND Carey get cut. Cohen and Cunningham bring excellent ST value and are higher upside players.

Staff loves Daniel Brown, writings on the wall to keep 4 TE with this being Millers last season in Chicago.

Staff loves Josh Bellamy, elite ST value, familiar with the offense, great locker room guy. White/Cam/Wheaton are locks given the guaranteed $ they got. 4th spot comes down to Cruz vs Wright, Bellamy takes the 5th and final spot.

Teams typically don't carry 9 OL but I think this team is the exception. Sowell is a camp body with zero guaranteed money. Compton makes it as the swing tackle. People forgetting about Jordan Morgan, no way the cut him after spending one of five draft picks on him. Lush swing OG, Grasu back up OC (brings too much value and potential to cut)

6th DL spot comes down to Roy Robertson Harris and Unrein. Youth, potential vs vet leadership. I think RRH gets it

Agree with your LBers although Acho could beat out Christian Jones.

DBs are kind of a mess. Did you forget about Deiondre Hall? Houston Carson/HJQ are both cut in favor of Hall and elite STer and captain sherrick McManis.
