53-man roster projection for Cardinals after 1 week of training camp

The Cardinals have wrapped up a week of training camp. This is what the final roster could look like based on how things are going right now.

Had a nightmare last night that Rondale Moore was outright released by the Cardinals (shivers). Pretty glad when I woke up from that one.

Why would you lose sleep over that guy?

I don't love both of our later round OL picks (Smith and Hayes) from last year not making the team in favor of journeymen lineman we brought in (e.g., Daley, Elfein), but I get the thought that a new regime would pick the guys they brought in over them.

Leki Fotu getting cut would be a mild surprise, but a welcome one by most on this board.

Beyond that, I don't see anything overly controversial based on where the roster construction is currently at. This feels like the kind of year where we could hear "the Cardinals were awarded 5 waiver claims after roster cuts to 53".

This gives me hope we will have a good secondary. Hamilton was decent last season, unless he fell off a cliff then maybe Matthew and Clark are better than decent.

If Christian Matthew is a good starter next year he would be Keim's best value draft pick.

I agree with Hayes, obviously. Smith is tough because he doesn't work if you can't teach him to be a C. He was never projected as a NFL G.

Every year, fans underestimate the number of 0 and D - linemen the team carries going into the season.

In putting together a roster (53) is it safe to think that Special Teams are not as important as they use to be. By that I mean kick returns and kick coverage seem to be on the verge of extinction due to rules changes. Or will it be business as usual?
