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.
