Quarterbacks (3): Jason Campbell, Byron Leftwich, Colt Brennan

Running Backs (4): Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, DeDe Dorsey, Rock Cartwright

Fullbacks (1): Mike Sellers

Wide Receivers (5): Santana Moss, Antwaan Randle El, Malcolm Kelly, James Thrash, Devin Thomas

Tight Ends (2): Chris Cooley, Fred Davis

Offensive Tackles (3): Chris Samuels, Stephon Heyer, Jon Jansen

Offensive Guards (5): Randy Thomas, Derrick Dockery, Pete Kendall, Chad Rinehart, Devin Clark

Centers (2): Casey Rabach, Edwin Williams

Defensive Ends (6): Andre Carter, Phillip Daniels, Renaldo Wynn, Brian Orakpo, Rob Jackson, Lorenzo Alexander

Defensive Tackles (4): Albert Haynesworth, Cornelius Griffin, Anthony Montgomery, Kedric Golston (think he could get traded still, which moves Alexander back inside)

Linebackers (6): London Fletcher, Alfred Fincher, Rocky McIntosh, HB Blades, Cody Glenn, Robert Henson

Cornerbacks (5): Carlos Rogers, DeAngelo Hall, Kevin Barnes, Fred Smoot, Justin Tryon

Safties (4): LaRon Landry, Chris Horton, Kareem Moore, Reed Doughty

Long Snappers (1): Ethan Albright

Kickers (1): Shaun Suisham

Punters (1): Hunter Smith

Practice Squad (8): Eddie Williams, Marko Mitchell, Chase Daniel, Anthony Alridge, Brian Burley, Robbie Agnone, Derek Walker, Ronnie Palmer

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.

My original draft had Smoot getting cut...but then a little piece of me started dying. It was like Back to the Future. I could see my face being erased from the picture, so I had to keep him

Well, I guess I'm inferring that Smoot's future is tied to Barnes' preseason performance. If he lights the world on fire in the preseason, and Tryon looks competant, I don't think they'll waste a roster spot on Smoot, rather, they'll give it to a corner who can cover kicks and punts. Plus, if he does set the world on fire in the preseason, I have enough faith in Blache that if Hall underachieves, he won't put up with his attitude.

But if the first alternative is Smoot, I think Hall has a season pass to Six Flags, if you know what I mean.
