DANG! This is hard. The stated intention of Tomlin to bring in the youth makes it very hard to predict who will be trade bait, who will be developmental, etc. I can't even say that I have the right amount of guys here.

[BIG FAN]

With the influx of RB's I would think N.D.'s days are numbered.

With the influx of RB's I would think N.D.'s days are numbered.

I have to believe that unless he can block Davenport's days are numbered. Moore is a better receiver out of the backfield. FWP, Mendenhall and Russell are all better runners. Just don't see what he adds.

[BigBen2112]

Noone likes Roy Lewis but me?!

[Oviedo]

Noone likes Roy Lewis but me?!

Not as a rookie who can contribute. He is PS bound in all likelihood.

Okay, here's a first shot...definitely new at this, but my take, for what it's worth...the three defensive ends in green...I believe one of them makes the team, but have no idea which one. I think I've got it down to 53...

Well here is my take on the final roster come the beginning of September:

QB:
Roethlisberger
Batch
Dixon

RB:
FWP
Mendenhall
Moore
Russell

FB:
Davis

WR:
Ward
Holmes
Washington
Sweed (don't see him beating out Nate at least to start with)
Baker

TE:
Miller
Spaeth
Dekker

T:
M Smith
Starks
Colon
Essex

G:
Kemoeatu
Simmons
Mahan
Hills (will shift inside for first year)

C:
Hartwig
Stapleton (don't see him getting cut after we hung on to him last yr)

DE:
A Smith
Keisel
McFarland (I see him eventually signing)
McBean (IR due to foot)
Kirschke

DT:
Big Snack
Hoke

OLB:
J Harrison
Woodley
Frazier
A Harrison

ILB:
Farrior
Timmons
Foote
Fox
Humpal

CB:
Taylor
BMac
Townsend
Gay
Madison (wish we could bring in another vet here)

FS:
Clark
Mundy

SS:
Polamalu
An Smith (I think he is more suited for this position)

K:
Reed

P:
Sepulveda

LS:
Warren

I kept 9 LB's due to special teams, I remember Cowher doing this back in the mid 90's (I think 96), it ended up helping cuz Lloyd blew out his knee in week 1. I would like to see Legursky make a push but I think he will end up on the practice squad. The WR group is really up in the air Rucker, Baker, Reid and Trannon will all be right there at the end. It will really come down to who steps up in camp and shows something. I would love to see another vet corner brought in here to solidify the secondary. Not that it is a concern but I always want more corners. Well thats my take, lets see how it shakes out!
