Most controversial positions
--------------------------
1) Washington as the fifth receiver
He is a gunner. ST's is critical when competing for the #5 spot. He is also signed through 2011. Gaffney is OK as a downfield receiver; but we have Stallworth and Moss. I don't expect Brown to be on the 53 at all, certainly not as a receiver.
2) James instead of Samuel
I just don't expect to see Samuel, certainly not for Game One.
Spann or an additional free agent could beat out James.
3) Hawkins as Player 53, a special teamer, and backup FS
I don't see Hawkins being beaten out, but I am fine with Spann, Richardson or Mitchell should they beat out Hawkins.
4) I think Moore has a good chance to beat out Smith, although I still ahve Smith on the 53.
5) Mays over Alexander
Alexander is hurt and is in his contract year, as he isn't very good. This is the trifecta. I presume an additional veteran linebacker on the squad, so Alexander is in trouble. Mays is a top STer and is even considered to have a possible future playing lienbacker.
