Broncos 53 Man Roster Set.....For Now

The Broncos made their final roster moves on Saturday afternoon to get the 53 man roster. The Broncos also announced their practice squad on Sunday. They made one additional roster tweak on Sunday when they waived S Darcel McBath and signed CB Johnathan Wilhite formerly of New England. McBath's release is just another stain on the Josh McDaniels Era. All three of McD's second round picks from 2009 (McBath, Richard Quinn and Alphonso Smith) are all gone in less than two years. Here is the current 53 man squad and practice squad roster. As always this is a fluid situation and there are obviously more moves that could be made in the next week leading up to the opener on Monday September 12th against Oakland:

QBs (3)

Kyle Orton

Brady Quinn

Tim Tebow

*I guess Merrill Hoge wasn't right when he said Denver should cut Tebow.

RBs (3)

Knowshon Moreno

Willis McGahee

Lance Ball

*No surprises here with this group.

FB (1)

Spencer Larsen

*Larsen continues to me a one man gang at FB.

WRs (5)

Brandon Lloyd

Eric Decker

Eddie Royal

Matthew Willis

Demaryius Thomas

*I'm shocked that the Broncos announced that Thomas was cleared and ready to practice. That was the downfall for Britt Davis and David Anderson.

Offensive Line (9)

Ryan Clady

Chris Kuper

J.D. Walton

Zane Beadles

Orlando Franklin

Manny Ramirez

Herb Taylor

Chris Clark

Russ Hochstein

*No surprises with this group, but the backup O-Line is really weak and a big dropoff.

TEs (3)

Daniel Fells

Julius Thomas

Virgil Green

*I like Gronkowski, but the upside of Green did him in.

Defensive Linemen (10)

Elvis Dumervil

Robert Ayers

Broderick Bunkley

Kevin Vickerson

Marcus Thomas

Mitch Unrein

Ryan McBean

Jason Hunter

Derrick Harvey

Ty Warren

*I would expect the Broncos to eventually put Warren on season ending IR at some point early in the season. I was kind of surprised that McBean and Hunter survived the cut, but when you look at it the lack of depth on this D-Line kept them around.

LBs (7)

Von Miller

Joe Mays

D.J. Williams

Wesley Woodyard

Nate Irving

Mario Haggan

Mike Mohammed

*Haggan surviving was interesting, but this group looks okay to me. Mohammed will be a special teams guy early on, and Irving might end up starting at MLB in no time.

Cornerbacks (5)

Champ Bailey

Andre Goodman

Cassius Vaughn

Chris Harris

Johnathan Wilhite (Signed on Sunday)

* The big news was the release of Perrish Cox. His play in preseason and his upcoming sexual assault case were too much to keep the former starter around. Chris Harris is the only undrafted rookie to make the 53-man roster.

Safeties (4)

Rahim Moore

Brian Dawkins

David Bruton

Quinton Carter

*Darcel McBath got the cut on Sunday, and the only other surprise was Kyle McCarthy missing out on the list.

Practice Squad

QB Adam Weber

DE Jeremy Beal

S Kyle McCarthy

WR Eron Riley

WR D'Andre Goodwin

T Adam Grant

RB Jeremiah Johnson

FB Austin Sylvester
