Dang good attempt, Widge. Really spot on. I don't think it'll look much different unless they pick up somebody post cut down or make a trade. The only thing different I see is that they really want Grupe to get beat out. He's incredibly small for your last layer of defense. Going into a new kick off system where no one really knows what to expect except that there will definitely be more returns, I think the Saints want someone capable of helping out if comes to that. However, they won't sacrifice field goal expertise to see it happen.
That's fair and I honestly would really like Smyth to win the job. I like his size, amazing leg, the way he strikes the ball, and the fact that he's almost as good as Grupe but has only been kicking a football for one year. I think he has huge upside. I put Grupe on the roster mostly because he is the safer bet and I think they can keep Smyth on the roster to develop him without counting in the 53. But, I don't think he can be activated unless he is on the 53. Anyway, I would not have an issue with it if they decided to go with Smyth. It's a risk in the short term, but I really think it could pay off big in the future.
