Annual Predict the Final Roster Thread: 2010 Version

[diehardskin2982]

Of course my picks (if I made them early in the season are wrong so now the cardinal game is over I'm going to make my prediction...

Offense: 25
QB: McNabb, Grossman, Beck
RB: Portis, Johnson, Packer, Torian Practice Squad: K.Williams
FB: Sellers
WR: Moss, Galloway, Armstrong, Thomas, Austin Practice Squad: Banks IR Furrey, Kelly
TE: Davis, Cooley, Vickers PS: Paulsen
LT: Williams, Heyer
LG: Dockery, Lictensteiger
C: Rabach, Montgomery PS: Cook
RG: Hicks, Rinehart
RT: Brown, PS: Capers

Defense: 25
DE: Haynesworth, Holliday
NT: Kemo, Golston
DE: Carriker, Daniels, Jarmon
OLB: Alexander, Orakpo, Carter, Wilson,
ILB: Rocky, Fletcher, Blades, Riley IR: Henson
CB: Rogers, Hall, Buchanon, Tryon, Barnes, Westbrook
FS: Moore, Doughty PS: Russell
SS: Landry, Horton

Special Teamers 3
K: Gano
P: Bidwell
LS: Sundberg

Possible Wildcard: Houshmandzadeh became available for trade I'd imagine we'd give them Horton or Doughty because they need safety help.

[JoeRedskin]

Here's mine:

Offense: 26
QB [3]: McNabb, Grossman, Beck
RB [4]: Portis, Johnson, Torain K.Williams [Just don't think Parker played his way onto the team and Torain/Williams can be developmental/ST
FB [1]: Sellers
WR [5]: Moss, Galloway, Armstrong, Thomas, Austin. Banks to the Practice Squad [Love the little guy, but count me as one who thinks his fumblitis is his doom]
TE [3]: Davis, Cooley, Paulsen [Couple of nice catches, plus couple of penalities/drops by Vickers]
OL [10]: Williams, Brown, Dockery, Rabach, Hicks, Heyer, Capers, Lichtensteiger, Rinehart, Cook.

Defense: 24
DL [7]: Haynesworth, Kemo, Carriker, Daniels, Jarmon, Golston, Holliday
OLB [4]: Alexander, Orakpo, Carter, Wilson,
ILB [5]: Rocky, Fletcher, Blades, Riley, Henson [hopefully]
CB [4]: Rogers, Hall, Buchanon, Tryon, Barnes
S [4]: Moore, Doughty, Landry, Carter

Special Teamers 3
K: Gano
P: Bidwell
LS: Sundberg

If Henson goes on IR then we keep Horton.

Some hard choices to be made.

On offense it will come down to 9 OL, 4 RB or 6 WR
On defense the CB position is a little wide open. I can see a serious battle for the 4th and 5th CB spots with Barnes being the loser. I possible have to many LBs but who knows?

So I used the template from FRPLG with a few tweaks.

Parker is gone, Williams makes the team.

I still think Banks makes it as the 6th WR. Buchanon will be the primary PR and Thomas the primary KR. Banks will be inactive most weeks but in a pinch can be activated and play but I don't see him being exposed to the practice squad with what he's put on tape thus far.

I cut Jarmon which is a huge waste of a pick IMO at this point. He's to slow to be a LB and not stout enough to be a DE. He's a much better 4-3 fit but trying to hold and trade him will just be a waste of a roster spot.

I put Barnes on the team. I think his value is in being able to be physical in blitz packages as well as playing on ST.

I also put Bryant on the DL because he's shown more than Kemo to this point and released Blades. I just don't see him as good of a fit anymore and he's missed a lot of tackles in the preseason. Riley and Henson are solid backups in those spots.

Only thing I think is dead wrong is at safety. Carter is making the team. With Moore out we'll have 5 safeties and Carter is the only real option for the 4th safety right now.

You're probably right but I guess it's hard to imagine a guy coming off the street 2 weeks ago and making the 53. It happens, I know..

He may have taken the punt and kick return job though with Banks putting the ball on the ground so much.

What drops did he have other than the bullet from 5 feet away from Beck late in the 4th? I don't remember him dropping another ball. Also, he's not a PR, that's Austin.

[MTK]

Do we know the extent of Henson's injury yet?

Not that I know of...I assumed it was only a mild sprain and he would be fine. Obviously if he going to miss extended time it changes things up quite a bit. He probably isn't replaced by anybody but then we probably keep an extra OL or WR.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

So am I the only one who thinks Galloway won't be on the team by our first regular season game?

Probably, the only way Galloway doesn't make the team is if a true #2 becomes available. Since that's not likely to happen before tomorrow Galloway will be on the team.

Yeah and even if we picked up someone tomorrow it's like that guy is going to be up to speed with things for a while, unless he played under either one of the Shanahans before.

Galloway is likely to be here for a while.

I get where your coming from but Galloway is not a #2 receiver himself. He hasn't done jack in the preseason and, as was discussed on ESPN980 this morning, the only 38 year old receiver to ever have anything even approaching success is Jerry Rice. If we consider history at all, Galloway won't break 20 catches or 200 yards the entire season. Start Devin Thomas or Armstrong instead of Galloway. The new guy we pick up will truly be the #5 receiver until he learns the offense.

[mredskins]

Funny how the Galloway sign back whenever was viewed as him coming in a couch/mentor type.

By him taking the number 2 spot it pretty much says DT and MK were huge bust.

[GTripp0012]

Think Terence Austin is the guy who solidified that spot last night.

Banks/Thomas is a decision to make. Could keep both, then just three RBs and 8 Lineman. But I'm not sure we'd be able to use both.

Larry Johnson appears safe. Torain looks like the odd man out.
