Drop list bubble

[zoster80]

This is for PLP below.

I made an all in move to get CMC and Hopkins, I got a bunch of garbage that I need to drop.

I need to drop a bunch of guys to get down to 27(23 active Roster + 4 Taxi), prior to draft.

These are the ones I think I'm keeping which are easy drops.

Easy Drops
Dobbs
Stidham
T Hudson
Patrick Taylor
Dernest Johnson
Chris Evans
Justin Watson
Logan Thomas
R Woods

Bubble guys (need to cut 6 of these below)
Pretty sure
Hunt
Higbee
Brenton Strange
Gallup

Not sure yet
Emanuel Wilson
CEH
Chark
Charlie Jones
P Washington

Any of these obvious that I'm missing? Anyone here have a chance to contribute to a contender?

Ok this MIGHT be a bit of Penn State bias...but I'm not ready to give up on Brenton Strange or Parker Washington yet. I don't know, with Ridley gone there might be more targets for these second-year guys next year?

When do these cuts need to be made? Hopefully not soon. It would nice to see how some of the RBs fare with rookie competition and camp battles before making a decision. Ultimately the best value might be to find a way to keep some of the RBs on your list, assuming they aren't victims of roster cut downs in the summer.

I wish we could have training camp, E Wilson could beat out Dillon, Hunt could resign somewhere, CEH could revive somewhere, but we draft in May after the draft, so these choices have to be made with less information.

Yeah Strange and Washington hurt, I may even re draft them once they are in the pool, it's just tough to make some cuts, I'd have to consider guys like M Carter, T Scott, Dortch, Gainwell or Carr, which I feel like all of them are more likely to contribute if the right injuries happen. Obviously I'm trying to move some of these guys for late picks to at least get some value back, but most people aren't too interested.

Ok, at least you have until after the NFL draft. Worrying about the end of your roster guys is the mark of a good manager! They is always worry that someone you drop will contribute on another roster. We should revisit again after the draft and debate depth chart things like "Could this player be their WR3 or could this player be their TE2?" and align that information with your team needs. As it stands, no one stands out as a "super obvious drop" right now but I've already admitted my PSU bias and I probably have others, lol. Given that other teams are facing the same cuts, at least you know there will be non-rookies in the draft worth a look. In my league this starts to be the case around round 3 to 4 ish.

I'm fine with everyone listed. Of the maybe(s), I'd drop Wilson (behind Dillon until he's not) and Washington (WR4 behind Kirk, Davis, and Zay and it wouldn't be surprising at all if the grab a rookie in the upcoming draft).
