Your 2014 Roster Predictions ***merged***

[Fla Cowpoke]

this was a really strong effort.
more realistic than we've seen in the media imho.

various thoughts:
QB: keep 2 and PS Vaughn. He's 2 or 3 years away from being able to be a back up. He isn't better than 40 year old Kitna right now.
RB: Keep RW because he's a quality RB and you need that. Keep Randle because he can block and play on ST and you need numbers at the position where the top 2 guys are fragile.
WR: Tough call because I like Byrd but it's pointless to keep a guy whose not only our 6th best player at the position but looks to be no more than our 6th best player at that position for next couple seasons. We don't have 52 better players but it just doesn't work like that.
DE: Gotta get in someone else's cut. Rams will cut Westbrooks or Sam. One of those two could play 3rd downs for us week 1.
DT: See above except sub SEA for STL. We can use Boatright, Minter and Bush as PS guys. Maybe get Ben Bass back on PS.
DB: We our taking baby steps forward in talent here unfortunately now we have two guys suspended and a couple more injured... great.

I think all our RB's are fragile. Probably the reason to keep 4.

Byrd isn't the 6th best receiver. He probably is 3rd or 4th. Harris is not a better receiver. The only reason Harris makes this team is he can return kicks and punts way better than anyone else on the roster. Byrd is a better receiver than Beasley, Harris and probably Street. Beasley just does a different thing but isn't a "better" player.

Sam really didn't look so hot last night against scrubs. I really am not sure how much better he is than our guys. I would much rather it be Westbrooks if we are taking one of theirs.

point 1. agreed 100%.
point 2. wr pecking order has him 6th. he is unlikely to move up anytime soon, if ever, which was my main point. he's already a 3rd year guy.
point 3 i like westbrooks more too but that's why i assume STL keep westbrooks. i'd rather have sam than boatright by a million miles.
3b -- didn't watch pre-season last night so can't comment there. Sam looked good when I saw him earlier though if inconsistent. i think he can give you 10-15 pass rushes per game and play ST.

Sorry but too many numbers and not enough names -- not really worth my time to look them up.
