We need this many guys for the 2 deep, IMO:
[LIST]
[*]2 QBs competing for the back-up spot. If Angeli is not healthy to start the season, we need them both to be ready to play.
[*]2 RBs good enough for the 2 deep.  You can't count on Nixon getting a 6th year, and we need better than him, anyway.
[*]1 WR good enough to be a starter on the outside.  I'll take everybody's word on all the unproven guys we are slotting in as starters.
[*]We got our TE, so that's good (1 more toward the 20).
[*]I count 8 guys on the roster on the OL who should make the 2 deep (Washington, Mack, Cruz, Stewart, Rice, Bertrand, Shevchenko, Mann, and Pringle).  I think we need at least 2 guys good enough to start, maybe 3, because our O Line was terrible last year, and there's not much reason to have faith in the guys who are returning.
[*]On the DL, I only see 3 guys who look good enough - Hastings, Omopariola and Perry.  So we need like 5 guys there, and 3 of them have to be good enough to start.
[*]At LB we have Tremble, Moultrie and DesLauriers.  We need probably 2 more guys there, since Tremble will play some time as the edge rusher.
[*]I only see like 3 or 4 guys in the secondary that I feel like we could count on (Samuel, Peal, Perry and Kerr).  We've been hit hard by losses in the back. I think we need 5 more guys back there, 3 of whom are good enough to start, when you also count in the nickel.

That's your 20.
