Linemen in camp now:
CENTER
Barnes (C)
Jones (C, & G?)
Rhaney (C)
Wang (C)
GUARD
Saffold (G)
Bond (G)
Brown (G)
Wichman (G)
GUARD/TACKLE SWINGMEN (note: Boudreau likes playing tackles at guard, so these guys are probably 1. in rotation to start at guard, & 2. depth at tackle)
Reynolds (G, & T?)
Washington (G, & T?)
TACKLE
Robinson (T)
Havenstein (T)
Baker (T)
Donnal (T)
Darrell Williams (T)
Battle (T)
Total = 16, including 7 rookies (Havenstein, Brown, Donnal, Wichman, Wang, Williams, & Battle)
and including 3 2nd year guys (Robinson, Rhaney, Baker)
Okay, barring injuries and someone completely tanking, I figure around(?) 13 of these guys make the combined roster/practice squad and/or IR stash.
That’s 10 on the regular roster, with 2-3 on the PS, with a “rookie redshirt IR” or 2 thrown in there.
Battle is not being counted on for this year. The Rams already said he was a redshirt. You have to wonder if he would make the PS without being picked up, so I predict he ends up on IR, with an elbow bruise or shampoo in the eyes or something like that.
You have to figure that the following will make it (barring all the things I barred)…not all necessarily as starters:
Robinson, Saffold, Reynolds, Havenstein, Brown.
So that leaves 5 more for the team, and anywhere from 3-5 on the PS + rookie redshirt IR.
And, they could still pick up someone. A low-cost reclamation project, maybe.
