One. Spot. Left.

Projecting and breaking down the roster is about as much fun as we're going to get during the days leading up to the games over the next two weeks. Rabble beat me to the submit button with his Player Rankings article from a few days ago, so I returned to the drawing board and decided to add a twist to my rankings.

I am going to attempt to rank all 53 players who I believe are going to be Dallas Cowboys come September 1st. I will then choose the 8-man practice squad, and I will also attempt to identify the seven players who will make the roster, but will not be active on gameday (err, game night) against the New York Giants September 8th.

My ranking criteria is simple: Who's the better pound-for-pound player? That's a mix of talent and value to the team. As we move to the later stages of the rankings, I will highlight "gray" the seven players I think the team plans to have inactive. Let's get it.

The Top 5

1 Ware, Demarcus DE
2 Bryant, Dez WR
3 Romo, Tony QB
4 Witten, Jason TE
5 Lee, Sean LB

Just a blog but interesting way of looking at the roster projection. I favor looking at the specific units then adding in the leftovers as needed but putting them side by side is probably a good idea. Kinda like a draft board vs a draft need projection. Certainly don't agree with it but its not bad either.

If the rankings are based on talent and value to the team, your top five is already off. 1) Tony Romo 2) Sean Lee 3) Demarcus Ware 4) Dez Bryant 5) Jason Witten. There, I fixed it for you.

This is from Blogging the Boys and is one of the articles/blogs pulled up by our friendly neighborhood Newsbot. So not my work but you're welcome to rank the players in any manner you wish.

I like your rankings except that I would put Romo at the top. Without him, we have no chance.
