Kelley has flashed a little but very little to stick around IMHO. The guy is always dinged up and unavailable it seems. I believe he and Nabors are goners. Roundtree is a bit beefier so I think he stays as the last RB option or maybe even PS. Time for some serious changes behind Eke.

My preference would be...
Ekeler
Spiller
Jackson
Horvath (if he's good enough to make the roster)
The others I don't care about. I don't think they should fool around with Kelley, or Rountree, for that matter. They aren't NFL running backs. I'd rather they find further RB depth among the UDFAs. It can't be too hard to find better talent than Kelley and Rountree.

My feeling is they drafted Horvath to replace Nabers because Horvath is an actual RB who can carry the ball while Nabers is not a running back and never has been. I could be wrong, I've been wrong before. I don't think there are enough roster spots available to keep them both though. I kind of see Horvath in a role similar to Kyle Juszczyk's role with the 49ers.

Yep...always thought Nabors was kind of a waste of a roster spot...hardly ever used the dude, and when he WAS in there, it was a two-back set, and we were telegraphing to the other team, "it's a running play with Nabors as lead blocker"...so the opposing team just stacks the box and stuffs the run most of the time...at least with Horvath in there, we can occasionally fake to Ekkie and give the rock to Zander, who has proven he can actually produce as a RB...
I didn’t realize JJ was unsigned FA and not on the roster. I’d have predicted Eke, Spiller, JJ and Horvath but if he’s not signed … well, Spiller may just replace him and they keep Kelly or Rountree. Or Rountree and Kelly both go to PS, unless the RB they signed UDFA surprises. Lombardi system knowledge is a useful plus to the team if they ever need to dive into the PS bin for an emergency replacement“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”
