    Filling out the Roster

    Well, tomorrow is the final day of the preseason. Although most have given up on the regular season, us other fans still want to see who makes the team and can build for the future of the organization. Being one of the younger teams in the NFL with a lot of promise, it's tough to see who will clear waivers or open the coaches eyes.

    I think we can all agree on who is guaranteed to make the team barring injury or jaw-dropping surprise;

    QB: Fitzpatrick, Jackson, Smith
    HB: Jackson, Spiller
    TE: Chandler, Smith
    WR: S. Johnson, Jones, Nelson, Graham,
    OT: Glenn, Hairston, Pears
    OG: Levitre, Urbik, Rinehart
    C: Wood

    DE: Williams, Anderson, Kelsay
    DT: Williams, Dareus
    OLB: Barnett, Moats, Morrison, Scott
    MLB: Sheppard
    CB: Gilmore, Williams, McKelvin
    S: Byrd, Wilson, Searcy

    ST: Moorman, Sanborn

    Who fills out the rest? It's a straight crap shoot IMHO, but I want to know what you guys have seen that I haven't. There are 36 players I find to be locks, so who are the 17 others?

    HB: Choice - The White drafting is a bust. Reminds me of a certain Dwayne Wright...
    FB: Dickerson - I don't see Corey being a huge part of Chan's offense. I am fine with either but it would be nice to have such a well-rounded player on O.
    WR: Hagan, Easley - I don't see this FO giving up on Marcus... I really don't.
    TE: Free Agent - Brock is a joke and Caussin is injured.
    OL: Asper, Young - Asper gives us the swing, and Young should beat out Sanders.

    DE: Moore - Size and speed to be a good rotational backup.
    DT: Johnson, Carrington - Again, this regime chose Carrington, they want to see what he can do. The casualty of the overpaid DLineman is Dwan Edwards.
    OLB: Bradham - A mid rounder, could watch and learn
    ILB: Carder - I really don't know about McKillop. He seems to have the leg up but all of Tank's upside (AND THE NAME!) makes him too hard to let go. He can pull the Chris White his first year and be a ST stud and valued backup.
    CB: Rogers, Brooks - Sorry T. McGee, it's been a great run but age and injuries...
    S: Howell - Just heard and have seen good things out of him.

    K: Lindell, Potter - I really wished that it would be one or the other... but this team spent a draft pick on a kicker, and this team is in debt (somewhat) to Rian Lindell. Both should make the team, and Potters beastly leg should make it so ST specialists are obsolete, which sucks because I was a gunner and kick returner... After this year, I hope that Potter can attempt some field goals and eclipse Lindell with his age and ability. Give me a Steve Christie beast kick over a Lindell hit-or-miss.

    The regular season needs to start... I'm THIS bored...
    Bye Bye Brady...

    HB: Choice
    FB: Dickerson
    WR: Hagan
    TE:
    OL:Young , Brown

    DE: Moore
    DT: Johnson, Edwards.
    OLB: Bradham
    ILB: Carder
    CB: Rogers, Brooks
    S: Howell

    K: Lindell, Potter

    That's 15. Heard or Gilbert for D-line. Thigpen (unfortunately) if they keep 4 QB's. If they don't, a sixth CB (McGee may slide into it) or 6th WR.

      Here's the depth chart per Ourlads http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/BUF

      Personally, I think Hagan is in at WR and we go with 6, so the battle for the 6th spot is between Martin and Easley. I also think McIntyre and Dickerson are a toss-up. Part of me would like to see DD make it, but I wonder if the coaches are leaning toward CM. It's not easy to cut 22 guys, but just for kicks...

      PREDICTED CUTS are WR 3 Naaman Roosevelt, Marcus Easley, Kamar Aiken, OT 1 James Carmon, OG 2 David Snow, Keith Williams, OC 1 Mark Asper, TE 1 Kevin Brock , FB 1 Dorin Dickerson, RB 2 Johnny White, Zach Brown, QB 1 Tyler Thigpen, DE 2 Robert Eddins, Kyle Moore, DT 2 Alex Carrington, Dwan Edwards, OLB 1 Chris White, ILB 1 Scot McKillop, CB 1 Terrence McGee, SS 1 Isaiah Green, FS 1 Nick Saenz, ST 1 Shawn Powell.

      My weighting is probably off as I did this quickly, but the total should be 22. I keep more OL after what happened last year. Probably not how it actually shakes out.
