As for my predictions:
QB-Campbell, Brennan, Daniels.. Zorn has no allegiance to Collins and would rather go with his projects
RB-Portis, Betts, Aldridge, Dorsey.. End of the line for Rock, Vinny wants explosive potential from his backups..
FB-Sellers
TE-Cooley, Davis, Yoder
WR-Moss, Thomas, Kelly, ARE, Mitchell.. Big things for Thomas this year and Kelly was flashing playmaking ability before his injuries..
OL-Samuels, Dockery, Rabach, Thomas, Heyer, Rinehart, Clark, Jansen, Mike Williams, Edwin Williams.. FO is counting on Mike Williams making the team and being a contributor..
DT-Haynesworth, Griffin, Montgomery, Golston, Alexander
DE-Carter, Orapko, Daniels, Jackson.. They didn't draft Orapko to back up the Grumpy Old Ends..
OLB-Blades, McIntosh, Wilson, Glenn, Henson.. Blades WLB, McIntosh SLB, we address this in the 1st round or FA next year..
MLB-Fletcher
CB-Hall, Rogers, Barnes, Smoot, Tryon
S-Landry, Moore, 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-H. Smith, S. Suisham, E. Albright
KR-Dorsey
PR-Dorsey
Mine would look VERY close to yours, with possibly only the inclusion of Cartwright on the roster instead of Dorsey (with Aldridge handling PRs). I am all for letting Collins go, he's part of Saunders' system, not Zorns. Brennan is our backup for the future and possibly one day, the successor to Campbell. Orakpo MUST start. I want to get ARE off punt returning duties and utilize him better on offense with gadget plays, even letting him throw a bit more often. Horton can still contribute a lot even if not starting, because Lance Moore looks like he could be a great player too. I also think that Blades can handle starting. Edwin Williams should make the team and be a very important member as Rabach's backup. Barnes should definitely be ahead of Smoot, because he'll earn it in camp. I do think we need to find a roster spot for Eddie Williams as the backup to Sellers and eventual replacement. I love Sellers, but he's getting an attitude he's never shown before and is not far from retirement.

Good job on the roster.
