Barnwell: Every NFL team’s most likely candidate for post-draft trade or cut

Reported by ESPN:

With the draft having wrapped up on Saturday, the NFL’s primary player acquisition window is now over. There are still a few stray veteran free agents available, and we’ve yet to see how the hundreds of players drafted and signed as undrafted free agents will impact the league during their collective rookie season, but the league is about to enter a relative lull for the next two months before training camps kick off in July.

When you look at the league’s best teams, though, you’ll see rosters filled with players who were acquired outside the draft or amid the first few days of free agency. Think about how the Rams were kept afloat in December and January by C.J. Anderson, whom they signed off the street late in the season. Their starters included players such as Mark Barron, Dante Fowler Jr. and Aqib Talib, all of whom were acquired via trade at distressed prices. The Patriots did the same thing with guys such as Trent Brown and Kyle Van Noy, though the Brown trade did take place during draft weekend.

The various additions made by each team hint at how they feel about the players they’ve kept on their rosters. In some cases, those moves will end up displacing a contributor who might have otherwise had a roster spot locked up.

To that end, let’s run through each of the league’s 32 teams and identify a player who might not have the job security he enjoyed before the offseason began. Some of these guys will be cut — one was released as I was writing this piece on Monday — and others will be trade candidates, either now or before the midseason trade deadline.
