~ I think Quarless will be suspended after his legal matters are handled, which might be after the start of the season and who knows, might even be after the season.
~ QB Hundley, FB Ripkowski, WR Janis and OG Walker’s potential might keep them on the roster with how their playing compared to whom they're competing against.
~ I have RB Neal and TE Perillo make it based on them being around last year and they seem to be more involved with STs and I don’t think the rookies have pasted them (YET).
~ I think OLB Vaughters has flashed more potential than the 4th ILBers, but wouldn’t be surprised if they went with a 4th ILB over him (or Banjo) for depth reasons.
~ I went with 3 ILBers because no 4th ILB has impressed me enough, and because I think they could use Hyde/Richardson more as a coverage ILB type more this season. Mike McCarthy has said they want to get them on the field more this season.
~ Banjo made it because I have Hyde and Richardson maybe helping out at ILB more and for ST reasons.
