Predicting the 1st 10 Players Cut by Aug 23

[Sarge4Tide]

New NFL rules say teams have to cut from 90-85 on Aug 16 and from 85-80 on Aug 23 - basically they have to be down to 80 after the 2nd preseason game

Who will be the 1st 10 players cut from the roster?  Here's my guess (in order of most likely to be cut IMHO):

1. Luq Barcoo 6'1" 175 San Diego St. (CB) 
2. Eddy Pinero 6'0" 185 Florida (PK)    
3. Calvin Jackson 5'9" 193 Washington St.  (WR)
4. Parker Ferguson 6'4" 306 Air Force (G/T) 
5. Tony Adams 6'0" 185 Illinois (S)    
6. Derrick Kelly 6'5" 320 Florida State (G/T) 
7. Bradlee Anae 6'3" 260 Utah (DL)   
8. Chris Streveler 6'1" 216 South Dakota (QB) << Might stick around to QB some in the final preseason game
9. Hamilcar Rashed Jr. 6'2" 251 Oregon State (DE)    << Talented but it's a numbers game
10. Elijah Riley 6'0" 205 Army (S)    << Talented but it's a numbers game

** No disrespect intended to any player - they are all 100x more athletic and accomplished than I ever was in sports

You should post the full current roster. As you typically do. lol. I copied and pasted it.  

Your list makes a ton of sense. I pretty much agree. One thing I would argue is that Riley goes as one of the early cuts. I think they like him for depth and would rather release a lesser known entity like Kai Nacua. I could also see Rashed outplaying a guy like Zuniga and forcing Zuniga to get cut before he does. But otherwise, yeah, those will be the early, easy cuts.

Sidenote: I like Pinero but he seems to be losing the battle to Greg the leg and he doesn't have the power that Zuerlein has. By pre-season that should be a fairly easy call to make. I also think the Jets will cut Streveler by then as well. Mike White can take the final pre-season snaps.
