That 40 time was overblown. He's a burner. If you ever watched him at Mich St, dude can fly. Plus he's small and compact, and super strong. At 5-9, 210 he can bench over 500. He's almost Orakpo strong. Regardless he would have been a better pick than Glenn.

You cant tell me that there is not a better CB out there than Westbrook.

LOL, I didn't say that....I just said I was mildly suprised he did better then I expected. Since we kept him on the roster he still needs to step up with the big boys and play like one or he will be a late cut.

Why is Lorenzo Alexander still on the squad? We know about his versatility on both sides of the ball but, A guy like Antonio Dixon seemed to have more upside as a DT and Alexander surely isn't our answer to OL depth. And Anthony Batiste backing up Samuels (see current depth chart)? I know Heyer can swing to LT and possibly Mike Williams can then step in and man RT but, we still look a little thin as far as quality depth. I'll say it again, Williams won't be great at pass blocking. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I don't think Wynn's spot was ever in question. It's one thing to say, "we could make a small push towards the future" and force Jarmon to take on a bigger role as a rookie instead of through development, while Wynn's spot goes to Darrel Young or Rob Jackson. But it's a completely different thing to act like he was fighting for a roster spot. He never was.

It's confusing the concept of being replaceable with the assumption that he's useless.

To me Wynn is useless. I have no idea how he made the team.

I think Warrick Dunn might be able to help this team. I thought he looked pretty good last season.

We definitely need to add an experienced OT, no matter which side he plays. Levi Jones, Tony Pashos, or Mark Tauscher might be able to help.

How did Mike Williams make the team? Nice story and all but he can't play RT for shit.

Also why keep Mason if he doesn't play teams???

Preface: other than 2-3 players, I like the 53 man roster.

Vinny looks shifty as hell in that video, and the whole time I got the feeling he didn't want to be there. I wonder if Zorn and Vinny did Rock Paper Scissors to see who would go before the mediots and explain why Chase was cut, among other questions

I like the roster also, but not crazy about Westbrook, and Wynn making the team.

This just about explains it. Batiste has showed some promise.

I think this article is a fairly reasonable assessment:

As Season Beckons, A Breakdown Of the Final 53

Granted it is a little biased, but I got no problem with that either.

Good read. Even though Weisman works for the Redskins, he comes across as being pretty objective in his articles and from the times I've heard him speak.
