Ok....y'all can search for my other prediction threads for comparison or you can click here http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php?t=52734
This is my final prediction of how I believe the 53 man roster will look. I will also project the practice squad. Explantions will follow the roster
Offense
QB: Bledsoe, Matthews, Losman*
RB: Henry, McGahee, S. Williams
FB: Shelton, Burns
WR: Moulds, Reed, Evans, Shaw, Aiken
TE: Campbell, Neufeld, Euhus
LT: Jennings
LG: L. Smith, Pucillo
C: Teague, Tucker
RG: Villarrial, Sobieksi
RT: M. Williams, M. Price
K: Lindell
Total: 26
Defense
LDE: Kelsay, Denney
LDT: Adams, Edwards
RDT: P. Williams, Bannan, Anderson
RDE: Schobel, McKenzie
SOLB: Posey, Stamer
MLB: Fletcher, Crowell
WOLB: Spikes, Stevenson, Haggan
LCB: Vincent, Thomas
SS: Milloy, Wire
FS: Reese, Prioleau, Baker
RCB: Clements, McGee
P: Moorman
LS: Dorenbas
Total: 27
Practice Squad
OL McFarland, QB Zolman, FB Lawton, WR Smith, DE Ritzmann, CB Greer, TE Peters, LB Towns (**if Zolman doesn't qualify for PS, then add OT Porter**)
Cut, Released, and/or Waived
G Esposito, RB Simonton, WR Haddad, OL Sullivan, TE Trafford, DT Sape, DE Gildon, CB Dixon.
Injury settlement
QB T. Brown
Notes
Remember that versatility and salary cap play a role in choosing the 53 man roster
1) Matthews showed me he could handle the #2 QB spot. Bills could re-sign Brown after week 10 if Losman is not ready. Saves a roster spot for a healthy player (cold and mean as well but it's a business)
2) Gildon looked like a player who knew the end was near. Good career and he may have a chance somewhere else, but I think he's gone because McKenzie can play special teams.
3) Sullivan just looks like someone who doesn't want it. I haven't been too impressive by his play at OT. He probably doesn't have the mental toughness to play the game. He won't be unemployed long a number of teams needing OL help. Pucillo makes it for another day but better not get comfy
4) I really liked what I saw of Shaud Williams. He reminds me of Dave Meggett. Tough call picking him over Simonton who will likely get an opportunity elsewhere.
5) Zolman is not likely to be signed by anyone else. If he can be added to PS, then I would so he can continue to work with the team. If he cannot, I still release him and hopefully have him available if needed.
6) Milloy's injury is the only thing saving Prioleau. Baker has looked good. Prioleau would represent a decent cap savings in both 2004 & 2005 ($1 million in 2004 and $1.25 million in 2005). Prioleau could be a candidate for trade just as.....
7) Bannan is someone who could be traded for a late rd pick. It wouldn't surprise me if a trade occurs as it would open a roster spot. This only happens if the Bills feel Anderson is ready AND addition of a player in Bannan's spot can contribute more than Bannan.
Bubble players on above roster: G Pucillo, RB S. Williams, DT Bannan, LB Haggan, S Prioleau
Bubble players could be released/traded/etc if Bills decide to add someone released by another team.
