There are a few surprise cuts and makes in my round of 53-man predictions.
The makes: Jordan Taylor makes the final roster as the sixth wide receiver. Kyle Peko makes the 53-man over Henry Melton as the Broncos decide to roll with seven defensive linemen. Lastly, both Kapri Bibbs and Juwan Thompson make the team giving the team four running backs on the 53-man roster.
The cuts: Ronnie Hillman does not make the final round of cuts for the 53-man roster. Team could look to bring him back because of his change of pace style. Something the team does not have. Safety, Shiloh Keo is released as the Broncos choose to run with four safeties and six corner backs. Mark Sanchez’s spot on the roster has been in flux since the start of preseason and now his place on the team is clear.
