Safety (5): Landon Collins, Kamren Curl, Bobby McCain, Deshazor Everett, Darrick Forrest

Having multiple guys who are worthy of a spot on the final roster is a good problem to have.

Only Landon Collins, Kamren Curl, and Bobby McCain look to be the only locks at this time. The remaining safety spots will come down to Deshazor Everett, Darrick Forrest, Cole Luke, and Jeremy Reaves.

Everett and Forrest win the battle, leaving out Reaves once again. Of all the cuts made in this prediction, letting go of Reaves is surprisingly difficult.

First of all, Reaves has shown that he is more than capable as a substitute defender and special teams contributor. In addition, he is also a cheaper option in terms of average annual salary than the aging Everett.

If the assembled braintrust believes they can sneak fifth-round pick Darrick Forrest on to the practice squad, then Reaves could presumably take his place on the roster.
