Let's look at the Vikings' 91-man roster and sort players into three different tiers.
Cutdown day is right around the corner. The Vikings' final preseason game on Saturday will provide one final opportunity for players looking to make an impression, and then it's decision time for the front office and coaching staff. On Tuesday, the roster will go down from 91 players to 53.
To get you set for cutdown day, let's take a look at the Vikings' entire roster and sort each player into three tiers regarding their likelihood of making the 53: locks, bubble players, and longshots. I hope those categories are fairly self-explanatory. I can't promise that every lock will make the roster or that all longshots will get cut, but that's what we're aiming for. Longshots and bubble guys who miss the cut, of course, could still wind up on the practice squad.I combined these because it's an easy group to predict. I'm comfortable calling Nwangwu a lock, mostly due to his kick return role. He's also the logical RB3 after earning 97 yards on 12 carries through two preseason games.
In total, that's 39 locks . If I'm right on those, that's 14 spots that are still up for grabs to some extent. We'll find out who gets them on Tuesday.
