3. Dillon, Corey 28 RB
4. Faulk, Kevin 33 RB
5. Maroney, Laurence 39 RB
6. Branch, Deion 83 WR
7. Caldwell, Reche 87 WR
8. Jackson, Chad 17 WR
9. Brown, Troy 80 WR
10. Graham, Daniel 82 TE
11. Mills, Garrett 45 FB
12. Watson, Benjamin 84 TE
13. Thomas, David 86 TE
14. Koppen, Dan 67 C
15. Light, Matt 72 OT
16. Gorin, Brandon 76 OT

26. Warren, Ty 94 DE
27. Wilfork, Vince 75 NT
28. Vrabel, Mike 50 ILB
29. Bruschi, Tedy 54 ILB
30. Colvin, Rosevelt 59 OLB
31. Beisel, Monty 52 ILB
32. Hobbs, Ellis 27 CB
33. Samuel, Asante 22 CB
34. Gay, Randall 21 CB
35. Harrison, Rodney 37 S
36. Wilson, Eugene 26 S
37. Sanders, James 36 S
38. Hawkins, Artrell 25 S
39. Banta-Cain, Tully 95 OLB
40. Wright, Mike 99 DL
41. Andrews, Willie 38 S
42. Mincey, Jeremy 58 OLB
43. O'Callaghan, Ryan 68 OT
44. Brown, Chad 98 OLB

46. Gardner, Barry 47 ILB
47. Alexander, Eric 49 LB
48. Mruczkowski, Gene 64 OL

50. Roach, Freddie 48 ILB
51. Claiborne, Chris/Edwards, Donnie ILB
52. Berlin, Eddie 81 WR
53. Hill, Marquise 91 DL
The last two cuts are Tebucky Jones and Jonathan Sullivan, released in favor of Eric Alexander and Marquise Hill.
And Practice Squad...
Cobbs, Patrick 41 RB
Brown, Vernell 35 CB
Hand, Randy 60 OT
Smith, Le Kevin 65 DT
Barthelmes, Brian 62 OG
Steitz, Nick 75 OT
Spann, Antwain 31 CB
Stevenson, Dan 63 OG
Depth Chart:
QB1 Brady
QB2 Cassel
Comment: No third QB is necessary. In theory, we could pick up Rohan after the Cardinals release him, but we'll use the roster spot elsewhere. If we suffer a QB injury (God Forbid), we'll sign a out of work QB. He won't be any worse than anyone we pick up now.
RB1 Dillon
RB2 Maroney
3B1 Faulk
3B2 Maroney
FB1 Mills
C1 Koppen
C2 Hochstein
C3 Mruczkowski
G1 Mankins
G2 Neal
G3 Hochstein
G4 Mruczkowski
G5 Kaczur
T1 Light
T2 Gorin
T3 Kaczur
T4 O' Callaghan
WR1 Branch
WR2 Caldwell
WR3 Brown
WR4 Jackson
WR5 Berlin
Comment: Due to fragile nature of EVERY SINGLE one of our top 4 WRs, I opted to keep five. Berlin makes it over Kight, as he looks to be the better inside receiver and plays on all special teams.
TE1 Watson
TE2 Graham
TE3 Thomas
TE4 Mills
TE5 Vrabel
DE1 Seymour
DE2 Warren
DE3 Green
DE4 Wright
DE5 Hill
NT1 Wilfork
NT2 Wright

OLB1 Vrabel
OLB2 Colvin
OLB3 Banta Cain
OLB4 Brown
OLB5 Alexander
OLB6 Mincey
OLB7 Woods
ILB1 Brushci
ILB2 Beisel
ILB3 Claiborne/Edwards
ILB4 Vrabel
ILB5 Gardner
ILB6 Alexander
ILB7 Roach
ILB8 Brown
ILB9 Davis
Comment: I need to see more, but both Roach and Woods look like they have some serious upside. They make the roster and will be inactive most weeks. I expect BB to sign a Free agent ILB, either Claiborne or Donnie Edwards, if released. If not, it allows Tebucky or Sullivan to make the team. I like Alexander's versatility, and in his few opportunities has made some really nice plays in coverage. I mean kick coverage, but he could definitely develop into a solid cover linebacker also.
CB1 Samuel
CB2 Hobbs
CB3 Gay
CB4 Wilson
CB5 Hawkins
CB6 Brown
Comment: Guys like Poteat and Chad Scott are likely only a phone call away.
S1 Harrison
S2 Wilson
S3 Sanders
S4 Hawkins
S5 Andrews
S6 Davis
Comment: Our depth here is what allows us to release Tebucky. With Harrison healthy, Jones wouldn't be any better than our #5 safety. I'd rather have the extra depth at linebacker.
LS1 Paxton
LS2 Mruczkowski
LS3 Mills
LS4 Thomas
Comment: This is what cements Mruczkowski's place on the team over similar interior players like Yates and Steitz.
NOTE: THIS WILL BE RE-VISITED AFTER THE THIRD PRE-SEASON GAME
