This is a look at what could happen if they feel comfortable going with only 7 DBs, which is not out of the question. The above only makes 52 guys. That leaves one spot for that fourth defensive end or an eighth defensive back. I would tend to think the spot would go to a DE and that it would be Kemp Rasmussen at this point.
The depth at LB allows us to use Peterson as a DE in certain situations. The team can either bring in the nickel back and go with 2 LBs or we could go with our standard secondary package with Tatupu, Hill, and Lewis at LB and Peterson as the 2nd DE.
I am not handing the sixth receiver spot to Obomanu, but he is in the lead as of right now. It is down to him and Mann. No one else is challenging. Kirtman would be the running back left out in the cold at this point if they only keep five.
Heller could lose the 3rd TE role to Matt Murphy. I think Holmgren might want to go that route, but Heller would probably have Ruskell's support and he is the decider.
