Okay here we go figured i would do this and see where it ends up

QB Russel, Walter, Tui PS Keller

Notes: If Tui can not beat out walter for second string we could just keep Keller who has more upside at third string after all a good young talent is better than a crappy third string vet

RB Fargas, Mcfadden, Bush

Notes: I could see ech making the team if Bush looks like he needs to be eased in

FB O neal, Griffith

Notesl easiest position on the team

OL : Harris, Mquinstain, Gallery, Carlisle, Wade, Morris, Grove, Green, Henderson

PS - Mark Wilson

Notes: Watch for Wilson i think the coaching staff likes him, nice thing about Mcq and galler is can play both guard and tackle and Morris and Grove can play Guard or Center, sleeper is Morris who could start he is undersized but smart and quick perfect for zone blocking

WR - Curry, Carter, Walker, Higgins, Shailens, Shields

Notes: SHields matters on his hammy, the only real competiton i see is from Todd Watkins who could beat otu Shailens

TE - Stewart, Miller, Madsen

Notesl Marcel Reece could push Madsen as pass catcher Reece could also make PS

DL - Kelly, Burgess, Sands, Richardson, Spires, Edwards, Warren, Shaw, Scott

Notes: My upset pick i say shaw makes it over joseph Scott could go to PS Grand Irons is sleeper as ST player here as well

LB - Morrison, Howard, Williams, Thomas, Ekejuiba, Alston, Condo

Notesl Ek and Alston are good ST players, watch for Alston as sleeper at LB he has speed Condo is long snapper,

Safety - Huff, Wilson, Wesley, Cooper, Branch

Notes, last spot probably between Wesley and Eugene, i am going to say that Wesley has more in the tank than Darius did last year

Corner - Aso, Hall, Routt, Bowie, Chris Johnson

Notes> we might only go 4 at corner cause of Branch and Huff have ability to play corner Johnson is a good ST player

K - Jano
P - Lechler

I actually have 54 players in this lineup so one has to go I could very well see us going with one less oline, CB or WR on this list

Pretty fair assumption!

Jordan will be on the roster as a 4th RB.

We are looking pretty thin at CB, after Routt, our backups are horrible. IMO we should've kept Fabian. And I'm pretty sure Warren will beat out Sands. And Miller will probably get the nod over stewart

It is still so early, it is hard to tell. Your original list looks solid…But:

There could be a significant injury to any of your expected starters, so there would have to be a plan “B” in place. Look what happened in Washington with their starting DE who had a season ending injury on the first day of practice, which ended up in the Taylor trade.

There could also be either a pleasant surprise of someone unexpected really stepping it up and taking a spot, or someone who you expect to make it and just doesn’t cut it (thinking about our high draft pick last year that didn’t make the team…)

At the end of camp, I guess we will see how close your list is...

QB Fargas, Mcfadden, Bush

I like this part.

Funny thing being two of the three can throw the ball.

I don't know man, that's an awful lot of money to shell out for a RB 4th on the depth chart? According to his contract, isn't he due several million this year?

I believe we have to take the cap hit anyway. We can spread the hit over two years if/when we release him, but I'm not sure there's any sort of date associated with that.

Can't find a decent link with details though...
