There will be some interesting roster battles...

[BradyManny]

This is premature, but why not - currently, I have every draft pick except Ruud penciled in for making the team.

Some of the odd-men out in this scenario for me are Eric Alexander, Willie Andrews, Mike Richardson, TJ Slaughter, Lewis Sanders, Ray Ventrone, Antwann Spann.

I'm also assuming that one of Cassell/Gutierrez is gone, whether via trade or what, it'd be a shame to just release Gutes, he showed promise.

The one area to me where it looks like depth could be added is DL. I have Santonio Thomas making the team at this point, and I'd love it if the team could add a quality DL backup in his place.

I also only see room for one of Yates/Britt.


Any other early thoughts on the roster?
