2 underdogs that I think can nake the 53 man roster as a back up.
Blake Brandel -
Kenny Willekes

When I saw that Brandel was getting some second string snaps at C, I thought maybe we have another Matt Birk situation brewing.
Willekes will be an interesting watch. I think we've seen the last of Holmes. All Vowels™ is already gone, and Brailford didn't impress. Take those three guys and replace them with Jones, Robinson, and Willekes. Those are some long athletes.

What about DJ? Don't you Wonnum?
At this point, if Brandel is an IOL he might stand a better chance of making the roster than Dozier and Samia, considering his ability to play all 5 positions.

Oh, that goes without saying! I was commenting on the bottom of the rotation.

Willekes pad level is freakishly low.

You think Dantzler holds off Breeland? I think the CBs are going to be in heavy rotation so it may not matter.
Also, I think Twyman makes the squad over Lynch.

I think Dantzler is one of the best young corners in the league, so yeah, but like you say, it's not going to matter much considering how many times we're in nickel and dime.
People are forgetting about Lynch, but he was a 4th rounder and maybe the player on the team best suited for 3T. Didn't have a great first year, but we know what this team thinks about rookies (in his first TWO seasons, Danielle Hunter started ONE game). Twyman was a 6th rounder. Vikings can easier sneak him on the PS. The gunshot wounds make that even more likely.

Don't know much about Lynch, so I will defer to your knowledge there. Dantzler did pretty well after so OJT last year. But I don't just mean nickel and dime, I think our outside CBs are going to be rotating this year. Read something about this being the plan so they are fresh and keeps the offense a bit off balance.
