The Redskins will hold their first major on-field activity of their preseason program tomorrow when they start their rookie camp in Ashburn. That’s too early to predict who will make the 53-man roster when all of the preseason activity is done and the final cuts are made on September 5. But that won’t stop me. Here is who I think ends up making the offensive portion of the final 53; looking at the defense tomorrow.

Starters in bold

Offense (25)

Quarterback (3): Robert Griffin III, Colt McCoy, Connor Halliday

This scenario may be overly optimistic on Halliday’s potential. He is a pure project, coming out of a no-huddle, spread shotgun offensive at Washington State. If he shows enough the Redskins may want to keep him on the 53 and not risk losing him while trying to slip him onto the practice squad. They could dangle Kirk Cousins as trade bait to a team that lost a QB to a preseason injury. If Halliday goes to the practice squad or doesn’t make it Cousins is likely to be back.

Offensive line (9): Trent Williams, Shawn Lauvao, Kory Lichtensteiger, Spencer Long, Brandon Scherff, Tom Compton, Morgan Moses, Arie Kouandjio, Chris Chester

Looking at the last player in that list first, I think that Long is able to win the starting job at right guard but Chester stays with a contract that cuts his $4.8 million down to the $1.5-$2 million range. They would rather keep the veteran Chester as a backup who has some flexibility rather than Josh LeRibeus, who can’t play anything other than left guard.

Wide receiver (6): Pierre Garçon, DeSean Jackson, Andre Roberts, Ryan Grant, Jamison Crowder, Evan Spencer.

This seems to be cut and dried as far as the six players on the roster. What remains to be seen is how much rookies Crowder and Spencer push for playing time over Grant and Roberts. Gruden seems to be high on the two draft picks and Roberts in particular was a disappointment last year.

Tight end (3): Jordan Reed, Logan Paulsen, Niles Paul

This is the status quo from last year. Although the team might have liked to add a tight end in the draft there were very few to be found. I don’t think you can rule out another blocking tight end making it but four tight ends would create a squeeze at another position.

Running back (4): Alfred Morris, Darrel Young, Matt Jones, Silas Redd

There is a numbers crunch here that could lead to some very tough decisions. If Chris Thompson can stay healthy, they might want to keep him around as a third-down back. And there is some buzz about rookie Trey Williams, who could have some playmaking ability that the team is lacking. Redd will need to be on top of his game to hold on to that fourth spot.
