Going into the season, i think that these final 53 will be kept:
QB: Smith, Carr, Davis
RB/FB: Gore, Westbrook, Dixon, Robinson, Norris
WR: Crabtree, Morgan, Ginn, Zieglar, Williams
TE: Davis, Walker, Byham
OL: Staley, Iupati, Baas, Rachal, Davis, Snyder, Wragge, Heitmann, Boone
DL: Smith, Franklin, Sopoaga, RJF, McDonald, Evans
LB: Willis, Spikes, Lawson, Haralson, Brooks, Bowman, LaBoy, Briggs, Wilhelm
CB: Clements, Spencer, Brown, Paymah, Adams
S: Goldson, Lewis, Smith, Mays, Taylor
ST: Nedney, Lee, Jennings
Last 5 on: Robinson, Boone, Wilhelm, Adams, Taylor
Last 5 off: Hill, Sims, James, Mitchell, Caulcrick
Hill will probably be picked up by another team. I like Boone's potential over Sims' experience. With Brooks' status uncertain I thought that they should keep both LaBoy and Briggs. LaBoy is proven and Briggs has potential. Wilhelm was an adequate back-up to spikes when he went down last season. My decision of Adams over James is based on upside and that James is injured. CB depth is what we needed and having a guy sit out for the first few weeks doesn't help. Taylor adds ST value.
