[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 613626"] I think it goes without saying that 53 is never final. If nothing else, odds are that somebody at some point will have a season ending injury after the opening day roster is set. You bring up a good point regarding the "last player". However, there's the converse scenario. There's a certain minimum number of players at each position...7 for the O-Line, for example. If we assume that Tretter is #7, does that mean he's a "better" football player than anybody else who is cut? That would be hard to judge comparing positions, but it's not out of the question that a promising player gets cut just because of numbers at his position, whereas a C/G swing man is a necessity even if that guy is not projected as a future starter-caliber player. Perhaps not the best example, but it illustrates a point. In the final analysis, there are probably about 3 spots, give or take, that can swing to one position or another based on how promising certain players might be. I agree with sschind that saying the "best" 53 players are kept has about as much meaning as "best available player" does as a draft philosophy. Those are words with no content. [/QUOTE]
