[quote=tryfuhl;552810]you can only work with what you already have, we can't so much predict picking somebody up[/quote]

You can predict picking someone up if you'd like, but it has to be within reason and it's not a wish list.

[quote=tryfuhl;552812]few guys saying only 2 TE's.. because we're satisfied with our two or just need room elsewhere?[/quote]

For my list and a lot of other guys here they also have Eddie Williams as the back-up fullback. He played TE in college, so I would say he would also be the third string TE.

Seriously though, this is an annual post-draft tradition[/quote]

haha, just saying it seems like a thread can't be made without people talking about how it's stupid to discuss it so early, I personally like it and look forward to it again next year

[quote=dall-assblows;552827]orakpo best be startin yo[/quote]

Yeah. I'm thinking that you don't draft a DE at 13 to have him hold a helmet.

Maybe they say we go with an extra Olineman, keep Pete Kendall, and have him line up at TE if Davis and Cooley get hurt. Kendalls got really good hands.

Also, for some reason I feel I read somewhere that we are planning to convert that the TE/FB we took in the draft to WR... anyone else remember reading that somewhere?

No one has updated their prediction to include Marcus Mason?

It doesn't include a place for the new HC.

Yeah, didn't feel like editing once I thought of that, but definitely a valid reason.

You need to trim 3 people off of that.

I also predict we sign Mike Brown, and he's a surprise cut after the preseason.

Prediction 2: If Smoot gets cut in the preseason, then Barnes is starting alongside Rogers by midseason.[/quote]
Wow, nobody else caught Leftwich as our backup QB and questioned it? How do you see that playing out?

As for my predictions:
QB-[B]Campbell[/B], Brennan, Daniels.. Zorn has no allegiance to Collins and would rather go with his projects
RB-[b]Portis[/b], Betts, Aldridge, Dorsey.. End of the line for Rock, Vinny wants explosive potential from his backups..
FB-[b]Sellers[/b]
TE-[b]Cooley[/b], Davis, Yoder
WR-[b]Moss, Thomas, Kelly[/b], ARE, Mitchell.. Big things for Thomas this year and Kelly was flashing playmaking ability before his injuries..
OL-[b]Samuels, Dockery, Rabach, Thomas, Heyer[/b], Rinehart, Clark, Jansen, Mike Williams, Edwin Williams.. FO is counting on Mike Williams making the team and being a contributor..
DT-[b]Haynesworth, Griffin[/b], Montgomery, Golston, Alexander
DE-[b]Carter, Orapko[/b], Daniels, Jackson.. They didn't draft Orapko to back up the Grumpy Old Ends..
OLB-[b]Blades, McIntosh[/b], Wilson, Glenn, Henson.. Blades WLB, McIntosh SLB, we address this in the 1st round or FA next year..
MLB-[b]Fletcher[/b]
CB-[b]Hall, Rogers[/b], Barnes, Smoot, Tryon
S-[b]Landry, Moore[/b], Horton, Doughty.. Moore allows Landry to move back to SS where he's most effective, Horton sees plenty of action in the Cobra alignment..
ST-[b]H. Smith, S. Suisham, E. Albright[/b]
KR-[b]Dorsey[/b]
PR-[b]Dorsey[/b]
