Extremely Early 53 Man Roster Prediction

[Tex]

Spencer wont make the 53 man roster leaving camp. He may not even get stashed on the PUP

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Thanks for the effort! After all it is waaay early.

Still would like to see more young guns make the final 53. The more the merrier the younger the better!

would much rather have washington than bedford if we keep 6 wrs

also I think bw webb could be expendable..

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

There is no way we keep 6 receivers, no way Heath makes the roster, and I would put Gardner on the roster. Other than that pretty good breakdown.

the only thing keeping webb on this team is his draft status. he was atrocious last year in every facet of the game.

If you're running a 2TE offense, you really can't have just 3 tight ends... All three tight ends you mentioned still got pretty significant snaps, and you'd assume their snaps would increase this year, especially Escobars. So with increased playing time, their chance of injury increases... This suggests having a 4th tight end. We'll see how it shakes up though.

You said Copeland makes the team, yet Clutts had 47 snaps last year, significantly less than Escobar's.
I don't see us having more than 5 wide receivers on the roster when we have significant tight end packages.

I think Ben Bass makes the team over Hayden.

I also don't think Heath or Hamilton make it over a healthy Matt Johnson. I think Dixon beats out both of them as well.

Cam Lawrence played in 11 games, I don't think he is eligible for the PS

And I agree with others, I think Ben Gardner makes this team.

Our offense ran significantly better with the 4 and 5 wide receiver sets last year. I think Jason (with Linehans help) has realized this and we will see much more of the 4 wide and sprinkling in a FB when we run 3 wide.

I believe there will be more picks and UDFA that will make the team that some people think!

That's a good point.

I think 7 out of the 9 draft picks make the final roster.

Add 2 UDFA's to a total of 11 rookies.

Entirely too early, just like fans like it.

Offense - 25

QB: Romo, Weeden
RB: Murray, Dunbar, Randle
FB: Copeland (R-UDFA)
TE: Witten, Escobar, Hanna
WR: Bryant, Williams, Street (R), Harris, Beasley, Washington (R-UDFA)
OL: Smith, Leary, Frederick, Martin (R), Free, Bernadeau, Weems, Parnell, ______, ______

Defense - 25

DL: Lawrence, Melton, Selvie, Crawford, Bass, Mincey, McClain, Spencer, Bishop (R), Gardner (R)
LB: Lee, Carter, Holloman, Wilber, Hitchens (R), Smith, K. (R-UDFA)
CB: Carr, Claiborne, Scandrick, Moore, Webb
SS: Church, Dixon
FS: Wilcox, Heath

Specialists - 3

K: Bailey
P: Jones
LS: Ladouceur

Total: 53

I really really like the way this looks. Only thing I can see though that I would add is another backup guard and trim down some place else. Not exactly sure where, but I feel like another guard would be necessary.

Yeah I left a few blanks there because we signed some guys, but I have absolutely no idea who they are.

Literally the only returning offensive linemen are those I named.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

If Matt Johnson manages to stay healthy there's no way Heath or Hamilton beat him out.

At this point does he even remember how to play football anymore?

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

i predict that anthony spencer does not make the team or is put on IR

 

[thechosen1n2]

Meant to put him on PS.

no ben gardner makes the 53.

Who is this Matt Johnson everyone speaks of?

The last confirmed picture of Matt Johnson.

The last confirmed picture of Matt Johnson.

That's an old pic. Taken last year after the walk through practice before the first preseason game.

Legend says his ghost still wanders the halls of Valley Ranch, waiting, hoping to play in a real game one day. Some say his hallowed screams of "Ow! My foot!" can still be heard to this day.

Just a myth.

My crystal ball says he does. Unless yours is more crystal.

 

[CowboyMort]

Could Copeland possibly be that 4th TE or blocking type TE we need? Fill two slots for us? Not sure if that matches his skill set, but some of you know his play far better than me.

The same for Bass!

I don't understand the legend of Ben Bass. He wasn't even a starter in college, has never played more than a handful of snaps in the NFL before hitting IR but he is this larger than life DL that will never be cut. Other than Hatcher saying some complimentary things about him, I don't see the greatness in him.
