I've seen enough of DJ White, thanks. He ****ing sucks. He can get cut and HIS ass can go on the practice squad. I'd much rather have Bausby on the 53.

Terez Paylor's 53 man roster: Projecting the Chiefs’ final 53-man roster With the Chiefs tasked with trimming their roster from 90 to 53 men by 3 p.m. Saturday, here’s The Star’s final 53-man roster projection. I even projected some of the candidates for the 10-man practice squad — don’t hold me to these, as eligibility for the practice squad is incredibly difficult to determine. I just read the rules and did the best I could. QUARTERBACK (3) Made it: Alex Smith, Patrick Mahomes, Tyler Bray Practice squad: Joel Stave Analysis: Chiefs coach Andy Reid typically likes to keep a quarterback on the practice squad for developmental reasons. Stave has spent time learning the offense so he could make the practice squad, provided that remains the case. RUNNING BACK (4) Made it: Kareem Hunt, Charcandrick West, C.J. Spiller, Anthony Sherman Cut: None Injured reserve: Spencer Ware Practice squad: Devine Redding Analysis: Ware’s season-ending injury made this decision a lot easier. The Chiefs have also liked to keep a running back on the practice squad because that’s a position that gets banged up throughout the season, so I’ve got Redding making the team. However, it’s possible another running back gets cut this weekend that is more attractive to the Chiefs. RECEIVER (6) Made it: Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley, Albert Wilson, De’Anthony Thomas, Jehu Chesson, Demarcus Robinson Cut: Gehrig Dieter, Tevin Jones, Tony Stevens, Robert Wheelright Practice squad: Seantavius Jones, Marcus Kemp Analysis: I’ve got Hill, Conley, Wilson and Thomas as locks, with the last two spots on the depth chart up for grabs. I went with Chesson and Robinson because they both fared well in their extended auditions on Thursday and they both have proven special-teams ability. While Chesson showed off some explosion with a nice 76-yard punt return on Thursday against the Titans, Robinson proved he adds a downfield element by catching three passes for 127 yards and a touchdown on Thursday. This downfield ability will come in handy if Hill gets hurt for any reason, so I’ve got him on the team. Also keep an eye on Seantavius Jones and Kemp, who could both make the 53-man but have shown enough to be great practice squad candidates in they don’t. Tevin Jones has also impressed with his deep speed — his 68-yard touchdown catch on Thursday was nice — and could be a practice squad sleeper. So could Dieter. TIGHT END (4) Made it: Travis Kelce, Demetrius Harris, Gavin Escobar, Ross Travis Cut: Orson Charles Analysis: Reid loves his tight ends, which is why I’ve got Travis — who continues to show real pass-catching ability (and some surprising edge/nastiness with the ball in the air) but needs to improve as a blocker — making it. Charles did some nice things in camp but there is a numbers crunch here. OFFENSIVE LINE (8) Made it: Eric Fisher, Bryan Witzmann, Mitch Morse, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Mitchell Schwartz, Zach Fulton, Cameron Erving, Parker Ehinger Cut: Isaiah Battle, Andrew Tiller, Josh James, Joseph Cheek, Mike Person, Donald Hawkins Practice squad: Damien Mama, Joseph Cheek Analysis: No real surprises here. Erving will be the swing tackle, while Ehinger and Fulton also offer some versatility both inside and out. Mama got some work as a center in camp, and Reid singled him out during OTAs as a player he likes; I think he’s an interesting practice-squad candidate. Same goes for Cheek and James, who flipped guard spots with Mama multiple times throughout camp. But I’ve got Cheek beating out James because he’s been working more at tackle, so he would provide a complement to Mama. DEFENSIVE LINE (6) Made it: Chris Jones, Bennie Logan, Allen Bailey, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Roy Miller III, Jarvis Jenkins Cut: Ricky Ali’ifua, Cam Thomas, Maurice Swain Practice squad: David King Analysis: The Chiefs have a nice mix of versatility and athleticism up front, and King is a talented player who could also make the team. His age, 27, might work against his practice-squad candidacy though. LINEBACKERS (9) Made it: Justin Houston, Derrick Johnson, Ramik Wilson, Dee Ford, Frank Zombo, Reggie Ragland, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Ukeme Eligwe, Tanoh Kpassagnon Cut: Marcus Rush, Earl Okine PUP list: Tamba Hali, Dadi Nicolas Practice squad: Justin March-Lillard, Terrence Smith Analysis: Hali has not practiced since camp began, and remains on the PUP list. He hasn’t even been spotted on the sideline. Perhaps he opens the season on the 53-man, but based on what we know, I’m going to guess he opens camp on the PUP list, which allows them to check back in on him in October and really start building toward the home stretch. I’ve noticed the Chiefs have started using Kpassagnon more as a 3-4 edge rusher, which I think lends credibility to my Hali guess. But we’ll see. I also like Smith or March-Lillard as practice-squad candidates, but I’m picking March-Lillard because he’s had some really nice moments on special teams the last few weeks. Smith, however, could also get the practice-squad nod because he’s bigger and has proven to be a little more durable, so it will be interesting to see what happens. Okine has had a nice preseason but he left the game with a lower-body injury of sorts. If he doesn’t end up on injured reserve I could also seem him being an interesting stash/developmental candidate, though his age (27) could work against him. DEFENSIVE BACKS (10) Made it: Marcus Peters, Eric Berry, Ron Parker, Steven Nelson, Terrance Mitchell, Daniel Sorensen, Phillip Gaines, De’Vante Bausby, Eric Murray, Kenneth Acker Cut: Larry Scott, Trevon Hartfield, Steven Terrell, Leon McQuay Injured reserve: Ashton Lampkin, J.R. Nelson, Jacoby Glenn Practice squad: D.J. White Analysis: I’ve got the Chiefs keeping ten defensive backs since Nelson and Mitchell have been banged up, and Gaines has been injury prone. Bausby provides nice insurance, and so does Acker, who can help on special teams. White might edge out Acker in this scenario, but if he doesn’t, I like him as a practice-squad guy. Steven Terrell has gotten a lot of snaps and could be a sneaky candidate to make the team. McQuay could also sneak on the practice squad or roster if they aren’t ready to let him go yet. SPECIALISTS (3) Made it: Cairo Santos, Dustin Colquitt, James Winchester Cut: Sam Ficken Analysis: The Chiefs might try to pluck a true swing tackle from the waiver wire this weekend; none of the options on the roster are great if left tackle Eric Fisher gets hurt. It is possible that one or two of the three players who are cut wind up on the practice squad.

My guess at this point...
QB (3): Alex Smith, Patrick Mahomes II, Tyler Bray RB (3): Kareem Hunt, Charcandrick West, C.J. Spiller FB (1): Anthony Sherman WR (6): Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley, De'Anthony Thomas, Albert Wilson, Jehu Chesson, Demarcus Robinson TE (3): Travis Kelce, Demetrius Harris, Gavin Escobar OL (8): Eric Fisher, Mitchell Schwartz, Mitch Morse, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Parker Ehinger, Bryan Witzmann, Zach Fulton, Cameron Erving DL (7): Chris Jones, Bennie Logan, Allen Bailey, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Tanoh Kpassagnon (also OLB), Jarvis Jenkins, Roy Miller III OLB (4): Justin Houston, Dee Ford, Tamba Hali, Frank Zombo ILB (5): Derrick Johnson, Ramik Wilson, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Reggie Ragland, Ukeme Eligwe CB (6): Marcus Peters, Terrance Mitchell, Steven Nelson, Phillip Gaines, De'Vante Bausby, D.J. White S (4): Eric Berry, Ron Parker, Daniel Sorensen, Eric Murray ST (3): K Cairo Santos, P Dustin Colquitt, LS James Winchester IR: RB Spencer Ware, CB Ashton Lampkin PUP: OLB Dadi Nicolas PS (10): QB Joel Stave, WR Marcus Kemp, WR Gehrig Dieter, TE Ross Travis, OT Joseph Cheek, OG Damien Mama, ILB Terrance Smith, OLB Marcus Rush, OLB Earl Okine, FS Leon McQuay III Notes: WR Seantavius Jones and DE David King are likely not eligible since both have spent 3 seasons on practice squads, but there may be some loophole with accrued seasons/total time on PS that I'm not putting the time into looking up. I'd, personally, cut Albert Wilson and keep Jones but that probably isn't happening. D.J. White is also likely ineligible since he had 11 games on the roster last season, exceeding the limit of 6 and 9 under both PS rules (Accrued Seasons/Eligibility). I expect that the Chiefs may scour the waiver wire for a RB they can stash on the PS. I think Cheek, Rush, and Okine are the most borderline players on the list. Cuts (Not to PS): WR Seantavius Jones, Toney Stevens, Tevin Jones, Robert Wheelright, OG Jordan Devey, OG Mike Person, OG Andrew Tiller, OG Josh Jams, OT Donald Hawkins, TE Orson Charles, RB Devine Redding, DE Ricky Ali'ifua, DE David King, DT Cam Thomas, LB Justin March-Lillard, CB Jacoby Glenn, CB Larry Scott, CB Kenneth Acker, CB Trevon Hartfield, SS Steven Terrell |

I like it, but Acker has been awesome all preseason. I like him over Bausby. Also Bray doesn't add anything to the roster at this point because of Mahommes. I'd rather keep a spot elsewhere.

I very much considered cutting White for Acker. You could be right. At least one of Acker or Bausby will make this team. Not sure if both will. If White were PS eligible, I'd keep both and try to slide White to the PS. Even then, I'm fairly disappointed with White. He looked like a guy that would develop nicely and just hasn't to date. I'd actually consider moving him to FS, he's a really good tackler.

Alright I feel like these are your obvious making the team guys.
QB (3) Smith Mahomes Bray RB (3) Hunt West Spiller FB (1) Sherman WR (4) Hill Conley Wilson Thomas TE (3) Kelce Harris Escobar OL (7) Fisher Ehinger Morse LDT Schwartz Fulton Evring DL (5) Jones Bailey Logan Nunez-Roches Kpass LB (6) Ford Houston DJ Wilson Ragland Zombo CB (4) Peters Mitchell Nelson Gaines S (4) Berry Parker Murray Sorenson ST (3) Winchester Colquitt Santos So that's 43 guys with some 10 spots open in my view, I think most of them were easily sorted out from what I saw but not every move always corresponds so right now I'd say the rest of the guys who made the team would be.. Demarcus Robinson Jehu Chesson Ukeme Eligwe Kevin Pierre Lewis Would be stunned if any of those guys got cut, so that puts me at 47. I'll assume Witzmann makes the team but I think he could be easily replaced by another teams cut and they'll be looking there. So up to 48 with a few spots left...Jarvis Jenkins I also assume makes it barring something weird happening so 49. I'll finish that out with Acker making the last CB spot. Roy Miller making it over Thomas because he's a more productive career player. Last 2 spots are really up in the air last few years we've kept an extra CB so is it Dj Whilte again? Bausby or a guy from another team? Does Ross Travis hang on as a 4th TE again is Hali even gonna be active? On top of that I fully expect them to be looking at RB cuts. |

Tamba is ABSOLUTELY on this team.
I would be absolutely shocked if he wasn't. |
