I think both Jordan Hill and Derrick Coleman make the roster, otherwise a good roster prediction IMO.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Yea I like Jordan Hill over Jesse Williams at this point but we will see how it pans out health wise for Jesse.

I also am not sure about AJ Jefferson making it over Fenner or Auguste. Maybe his speed would make him more attractive though.

But good list otherwise.

 

[RegentDenali]

I think Pryor has a respectable chance at being our backup for 2014.

 

[SonnyCID]

Hill is going to make the team imo. Id bet on him making it over either of the Williams.

 

[blstoker]

1) Man, I don't get the Coleman cutting. I just don't. His reasoning that he likes Small over Coleman because Small is a pure fullback and not a converted to fullback makes no sense. Michael Robinson was a converted fullback (QB in college, then RB/WR and then FB). Man, Spencer Ware was drafted to convert to FB, so I just don't see Carroll being concerned about that and may actually prefer guys who played TB.

2) I'd be surprised if Pryor isn't placed somewhere on the team. I understand that a #3 QB isn't always something that teams look to have on the roster, but Pryor is a guy I'd think would be good enough to not only warrant a roster spot, but also to develop into something more than Oakland had with him. I don't see a change of position either, but I just don't think the Hawks just cut and run, so to speak.

3) I'd be surprised to see Jordan Hill. Maybe someone like Shead doesn't make it to make room. Also, he only has 50 spots here (at my count, but I could have miscounted). Obviously, he doesn't include Hauschka or Ryan, but there is still one more spot that he didn't fill.

Why? Lots of other guys the Seahawks could cut, say Greg Scruggs for example. He's a three year ( this being his third year) vet who hasn't been healthy and certainly has done any thing to keep him on the roster
over a guy like Jordan Hill who IMO has a higher ceiling. I'm not to sure Kevin Williams makes the roster, he hasn't really played well the last two years and he's going to be 34 in August.

Also do the Seahawks keep two FB on the roster and 3 Leo guys not counting someone like Irvin who could play some snaps there?

It's hard to really tell who doing well in a no contact practice like the mini camps are. That being said I feel that all things being roughly equal, the Seahawks keep youth over experience and high ceiling players over steady but low ceiling players.

Because, in my head I said I would be surprised if Hill was cut, but obviously that "cut" didn't make it on the post. I like Hill, I think he makes the team.

I've done that before and dang I hate when that happens.

Exactly, because it always seems that the missing word makes it so it expresses the exact opposite of what was meant
