Offensively, I think 3 QBs are kept due to their familiarity with Nagy's scheme. Went with 4 RB as I thought Mizzell would be too good to cut. Didn't see him sneaking through waivers to the PS. 6 WR. Marlon Brown makes the roster due to his height in the red zone. Wims I think makes the roster as well. Offensive line-wise, I didn't see Grasu making this team. The backup spots could be a couple of waiver wire pickups as I'm not real confident in the depth there besides Kush.

On defense, only 6 DL as I didn't think too many would be kept in a 3-4 scheme. 10 LB and 9 DB were kept as I think edge rush help may be on the way. Heard Ryan Pace say on The Score that Young or Houston may be re-signed to help out the pass rush. ST was an easy call as I didn't think any of those guys would be replaced. This projection does not include UDFA's as I was working with the roster that's currently on chicagobears.com.
