Build your practice squad here.
 

Two things.

1. This is my current roster projection -- I'm sure some of you guys disagree here or there but this is probably at least 95% correct.

QB: Smith, Mahomes, Bray
RB: Ware, Hunt, Spiller, West
FB: Sherman

WR: Hill, Conley, Wilson, Thomas, Robinson, Chesson, S. Jones
TE: Kelce, Harris, Travis

LT: Fisher, Schwartz
LG: Witzmann, Ehinger
C: Morse, Fulton
RG: Duvarney-Tardif, Fulton
RT Schwartz, Reid

DE: Jones, Nunez-Roches, Jenkins
NT: Logan, Miller, Nunez-Roches
DE: Bailey, Kpassagnon

OLB: Ford, Hali
ILB: Wilson, Mauga, Pierre-Louis
ILB: Johnson, Eligwe
OLB: Houston, Zombo

CB: Peters, Mitchell, Nelson, Gaines, White
S: Berry, Parker, Sorensen, Murray

K: Santos
P: Colquitt
LS: Winchester

2. That leaves these players cut:

QB Joel Stave
RB Devine Redding
WR Gehrig Dieter
WR Tevin Jones
WR Marcus Kemp
WR Tony Stevens
WR Robert Wheelwright
TE Orson Charles
OL Isaiah Battle
OL Joseph Cheek
OL Jordan Devey
OL Donald Hawkins
OL Josh James
OL Damien Mama
OL Mike Person
OL Andrew Tiller
DL Ricky Ali-ifua
DL David King
DL Maurice Swain
DL Cam Thomas
OLB Dadi Nicholas (PUP?)
OLB Earl Okine
OLB Marcus Rush
ILB Justin March-Lillard
ILB Terrance Smith
CB Kenneth Acker
CB DeVante Bausby
CB Jacoby Glenn
CB Trevon Hartfield
CB Ashton Lampkin
CB J.R. Nelson
CB Larry Scott
S Leon McQuay
S Steven Terrell
K Sam Ficken

You get 10 players -- and Dadi Nicholas is probably going on PUP. I've bolded the players who are eligible.

Who are the can't-miss practice squad players here?

Gotta say -- the past couple years, I struggled to fit 10 players onto the practice squad.

I don't know if the cap situation has us thin or what but now I struggle to think of 5 I have to have...

I probably keep Kemp, Dieter, King, Terrance Smith, Bausby, Lampkin, McQuay and Terrell.

That's 8, so not as bad as I thought.

You can bet your ass the Chiefs will be trolling the waiver wire for OL.

Just realized I have 54 players. I guess I cut Chesson? I would cut Robinson but I think the Chiefs like him too much.

I think you nailed the 53 pretty damn good.

I don't think they cut Chesson too much invested in him to give up this early.

How can we not find replacements for slugs like Gaines and Jah Reid? Any option would be better, they produce nothing.

I would not keep two of the slowest linebackers in the NFL with Zombo and Mauga.

I would also keep Kemp over Jones at Wr.

I'm sure glad you have no input into actual decisions for the Chiefs.

Zombo is not replaceable.

Zombo should not be cut, solely because he has the second coolest last name on the team.

I would say Kemp and Bausby are a lock for the practice squad!

Zombo is the second slowest player on the team besides Mauga. We need to groom the future not hang onto ageing, slow players.

Gehrig Dieter
Marcus Kemp
Andrew Tiller
Orson Charles
Earl Okine
David King
Terrance Smith
DeVante Bausby
Ashton Lampkin
Leon McQuay

Marc Boerigter - WR
Jesse Haynes - RB
Tyler Thigpen - QB
Donald Willis - Guard
Rudy Niswanger - Center
Khari Long - DE
Donald Washington - CB
Colin Brown - OT
Shane Bannon - FB

Fail. No Bobby Sippio

I'll be stoked if Kemp makes the practice squad. Figured he was cooked after the game 1 fumble

I'd like a better swing OT than Reid, but none of the ones on the current roster are better. I guess if Wilson has to stay at WR, I'd rather have Chesson and S. Jones over Robinson. Dieter, Kemp, Okine, Bausby, King, and Tiller.
