My 53 prediction

[jobberone]

QB- Dak, Moore
RB- EE, McFadden, new guy
WR- Dez, Williams, Butler, Switzer, Beasley, TBD
OL- Smith, Collins, Fred, Martin, Green, Cooper, Cleary, Bell,
TE- Witten, Hanna, Swaim, Gathers (23)

P-Jones
K- Bailey
LS- LaDouceur (3)

DL- Taco, Tapper, Thornton, Paea, Collins, Irving, Crawford, Moore, Mayowa, Lawrence (??Jones)
LB- Lee, Smith, Wilson, Hitchens, Nzeocha, TBD
CB- Carroll, Scandrick, Awuzie, Brown, Lewis, (TBD)
S- Heath, Jones, Blanton, Woods (26)

That leaves room for one more. My guess is a defensive player but where I don't know. Could be a FB.

 

[haleyrules]

That TBD buy sure plays a lot of positions...

 

[jobberone]

Not much of a prediction but there's just too much competition to really predict there.

Johnny on the spot. Do I get a star?

I agree that we "possibly" might carry 6 WRs...especially if someone like the rookie Noah Brown ends up shocking people.

Frazier and Wilber are probably two of the TBDs. The final spot could be a third QB. Or we could go long at WR. Probably not if we carry four TEs, though.

I also think that RB3 spot is TBD. We'll be looking at cut-downs for a guy who might fit there. Jahad Thomas has really good vision, but I think he ends up too slow to contribute at this level.

EDIT: Keith Smith will make it, also.

Every year I wonder about a FB. Personally unless they are at least some threat to run and at the very least get dirty yards on short yardage I don't want one. I also want them to be able to catch the ball and turn up field without falling down. Of course they need to lead block well.

I'd love to use a H or F Back and Swaim and Hanna should be able to do that. But every year Red puts a FB on the roster as if Emmitt Smith were still here.

I'm not really a fan, either, but Keith Smith did play well in that role last year. I think Garrett wants one on the roster. Hanna's the guy I wonder if he'll make it, but that's just because of the knee.

Looks like we've got an extra spot for a DL for at least four weeks, though.

Agreed. I would have really loved to see us draft Perine and play him at FB. He is hard nosed, hell for stout and can run and catch. He may not have the speed to be an every down back in the NFL but he has all the tools to be a Moose Johnston at FB.

If Irving suspended that's a spot for the FB. After 4 weeks an injury will create a spot for Irving to return.

Garrett is likely to put a FB on the team anyway.

He has every year he's been here and KSmith is the best one we have had in the Garrett era.
