Defensive Tackle

Starters: Chris Jones, Jarran Reed

Bench: Derrick Nnadi, Tershawn Wharton, Khalen Saunders

Practice Squad: Tyler Clark

Cut: Nobody

I think this one is pretty clear cut overall. Chris Jones, Jarran Reed, Derrick Nnadi, and Tershawn Wharton are all locks to make the team. I have Khalen Saunders making the team because I believe they plan on using Jones some at defensive end in the base defense. If that’s the case, I think they’ll want more than just three other defensive tackles on the roster. So Saunders makes it and Tyler Clark makes the practice squad as insurance.

I don’t think there’s many other options for how this shakes out. So let’s go ahead and move on to the defensive ends.
