looks like we may get 3 good draft picks this year assuming we keep both firsts and our second...add that to the current mix and we are overstocked...
we have too many players from last year that have to be accounted for-
so, crystal balling, who makes the roster next year from this group ?(some may be traded, probably to BP)
Nathan Jones, JuJo, Reeves, Carp, Canty, Fergy, CBrown, ABall, Oglesby, KDavis, Spears, Canty,Hoyte, Thompson, Berger, Flo

Out of all the players you mentioned in your post, the only one I can guarantee will be on next year's roster is Canty. He will be resigned. Book it. Not sure about the rest. Hopefully we can resign Flo for a reasonable amount of $. Spears will most likely return, but could be traded. Same for Carpenter. Even though he struggled at times, I'd like to keep Reeves as a 4th or 5th corner. I think that depends on how the coaching staff thinks Ball has progressed or will progress. As for the rest, who cares.

I forgot about Ferguson. I'd like to see him back, but that depends on how the staff wants to play Ratliff. We don't need 3 at the nose: Ferguson, Ratliff, and Tank. I'd like to see Ratliff at DE, where he belongs. However, we seem to have a bit of a log jam on the D line. Not a bad thing really. I'm just not sure we'll keep 7 on the DL (Bowen, Canty, Spears, Ratliff, Ferguson, Tank, Hatcher). We're in really good shape on the DL.

Hos,

Do you know what the savings/hit would be on cutting Glenn?

I also have a bit of a feeling that Ferguson might get traded to Parcells in Miami.

Anyone know off-hand if the Dolphins have two 2nd rounders this year?

You think Hoyte is gone because we only keep 1 FB or because we draft/pick-up another FB who beats Hoyte out?

They only have 1 and they're not giving that 1 up for Ferguson, or any one player on Dallas outside of Tony Romo, who obviously isn't an option for them.

I think we'll have 2 like 2007, but he won't be one of them. He's simply too one dimensional for Garrett to fully utilize.

Actually I was speculating that they might trade one for a Spears/Ferguson combination to help solidify their front 7.

But since they only have one and a boatload of needs, that's probably out.....

Agreed on the above and would add as posibilities, Oglesvie, Miles, Hurd, Ball, Berger. I hope we improve our talent at CB and WR to make these guys expendable.

I seriously considered all those names. Ultimately I kept them off just because I think there will be minimal turnover from 2007.

As much as I like Schmitt, a guy like Hillis could also make a lot of sense as Hillis has very good receiving skills. He could add another dimension to the offense - and also be used as a H-Back.

I can't believe you guys honestly think Parcells is going to trade us anything for guys that won't make our team? We will not trade for Miami's top pick and they are not giving us draft picks for our doodoo.

Give it up guys...

Carp, Canty, Fergy, CBrown, ABall, KDavis, Spears, (you mentioned Canty twice), Berger, and Flo. Those are the guys returning.
