Mocking the 53

MOCK "53"

I've done some research into how many of each position made the final 53 man roster for the Jets with Schottenheimer, and the Titans when Jeff Fisher was the coach. I was only able to assemble a 2 year data sample but the results look strikingly similar.

For the purpose of this article I'm going to use this data to suggest how many at each position the Rams will retain for the final 53. This undoubtedly leads to predicting the final 53 players by names. I mean if we can mock the draft we can surely mock the "53".

So here we have the best guess by average to predict our final 53. Based on these constraints feel free to predict who will make the final squad.
