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.

PRAYERS ANSWERED
Updated..Mike Williams & Todd Yoder dont make the cut...after the additions of WR DJ Hacett and OT/G Jeremy Bridges

[Monkeydad]

Yeah, I could see Hackett starting the year with us...we tried to get him before and most of us on here were excited about him playing for the Skins. I think the addition of him might push Marko Mitchell off the team though, unless he does more than we expect him to in camp. His scouting report isn't that impressive other than his size.

If Tampa releases him before camp starts, there's a mutual benefit to him coming here. This is where he wants to play. Tampa is only going to keep him if he outplays Luke McCown in pre-season (in which case, Griese would get the axe). But if he gets cut, with most backup and starter roles filled, I think he comes here. Collins, as you mention, is not a good bet at all to make this team, and having the veteran (but not that veteran) backup makes sense for us.

I like Hackett but he is injury-prone. He may not make it out of camp healthy. Let's see what happens.

I have been wondering if the Redskins could possibly cut Jon Jansen and take the Cap hit. Seems like they would have the space.

Cutting Jansen isn't an option.

Jansen is likely the only backup center on the team this year...he's not going anywhere.

He'd cost more to cut than keep. No point in cutting him now, just wait til next year.

T.O. Killa.. I agree with most of your picks except Ill go with Bridges over Clark and maybe Glenn over Henson. I hope like hell Buzbee and/or Jackson beat out Wynn! Aldridge or Dorsey will take Rocks spot this year.

[GMScud]

TO Killa- you don't see Jeremy Bridges making the team? I personally think he's going to push for the starting RT spot. I think Mike Williams will be this year's Erasmus James.

I made a mistake, I definitely see him making the team. Take out Edwin Williams and put him in. In fact, I would not be surprised to see him starting at RG.
