Lions 53-man roster prediction: Post-Jets game edition

With one preseason game in the books, it's time for another Detroit Lions 53-man roster prediction.

The Detroit Lions downed the New York Jets last week in their preseason opener in fairly dominant fashion. How did that game change the outlook of their 53-man roster? Here's my latest 53-man roster prediction (my picks to make the team are in bold and underlined):
