Big-Name Detroit Lions Who'll Be Cut

With two preseason games in the bag and the all-important Week 3 game looming, it's time to think about who will not be making the Detroit Lions' regular-season roster.

Given all of the offseason turmoil—arrests, injuries and general chaos—it won't come as a shock that you recognize some of the names who won't be making the cut.

Kellen Moore was incredibly successful at Boise State, but the NFL didn't see his skills as translating to the pro game, so he went undrafted. 

He hasn't done anything to change our opinions of him. Moore's arm strength is still an issue, and his decision-making leaves much to be desired. His height, normally something I don't worry about as much for some college prospects, is an issue as well. More than once in the last game against the Ravens Moore looked like he couldn't see over or around his linemen.

That's an issue. At six feet he's not a midget, so it shouldn't be the problem it is. Expect Moore to end up on the practice squad after he gets cut.

Jarett Dillard couldn't find a home on the Jacksonville Jaguars—you know, the one with no marquee wide receivers? It won't be any better in Detroit.

Joining a team with the wide receiver depth the Lions have is shaky to begin with—being unimpressive just makes it less likely you'll make the final round of cuts.

Dillard is going to find himself a man without a team very soon.

Stefan Logan is a guy I really like—he just doesn't fit into much of a role for the Lions. Sure, with Jahvid Best out for the foreseeable future and Mikel Leshoure suspended to start the season the Lions need running backs.

However, Kevin Smith looks good, Keiland Williams has been a very productive surprise and even Joique Bell has been good. There's simply no real room for Logan, and the Lions will need that roster spot for other positions that are more critical.

Finally, Justin Miller had the odds stacked against him anyway, given he hadn't played a snap since 2009. When Aaron Berry was cut, you still couldn't see Miller as a starter—more a camp body to fill space while other, better players such as Dwight Bentley, Jacob Lacey and Alphonso Smith battle for the second corner spot.

He brings some special teams savvy to the squad, but head coach Jim Schwartz isn't happy with that group anyway.

So even in that case, Miller looks like a guy destined for the early cut list.
