This is the time of year where it’s acceptable to start drawing some conclusions when it comes to NFL roster projections.
It’s one thing to make bold assessments back in March or April during free agency and the draft, when so many transactions are occurring league-wide and most franchises are in some state of major upheaval. The same can be said for May and June during OTAs and minicamp, when head coaches and general managers often throw things at the proverbial wall just to see what sticks and what doesn’t.
But come July and then early August, we’re close enough to the start of the regular season that it’s certainly possible to separate the chaff from the wheat.
