Ok, it's time to make those predictions for the final 53 man roster. Three of the four preseason games have been played and there really only may be 2 or 3 spots undecided by the coaches so I will take my best shot at picking the roster for this year's Redskins.
QB: John Beck, Rex Grossman
RB: Tim Hightower, Roy Helu, Ryan Torain
FB: Darrell Young, Mike Sellers
WR: Santana Moss, Jabar Gaffney, Anthony Armstrong, Leonard Hankerson, Terrence Austin, Brandon Banks
TE: Chris Cooley, Fred Davis, Logan Paulsen
OL: Trent Williams, Kory Lichtensteiger, Will Montgomery, Chris Chester, Jammal Brown, Sean Locklear, Artis Hicks, Willie Smith
DE: Adam Carriker, Stephen Bowen, Kedric Golston, Doug Worthington
NT: Barry Cofield, Anthony Bryant, Chris Neild
OLB: Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Rob Jackson, Markus White
ILB: London Fletcher, Rocky McIntosh, Keyaron Fox, Perry Riley, Lorenzo Alexander
CB: DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, Kevin Barnes, Philip Buchanon, Byron Westbrook
SS: LaRon Landry, Reed Doughty, DeJon Gomes
FS: OJ Atogwe, Chris Horton
K: Graham Gano
P: Sav Rocca
LS: Nick Sundberg
Close Calls (Probable PS): Selvish Capers, Erik Cook, Evan Royster, Maurice Hurt, Aldrick Robinson
Chances are that I'll be wrong on several of these. Artis Hicks is not one that I feel confident about but took him over Selvish Capers and Erik Cook simply for his veteran leadership. I could see Capers and/or Cook surviving one more year on the practice squad while someone may try to take Hicks. Evan Royster is just drawing the short straw in the RB race, but if there is an injury to one of the guys listed above I think the Redskins will move quickly to bring up Royster and place the other on IR (if serious enough). Chris Neild benefits from Jarvis Jenkins' injury in this scenario and snags a roster spot. I think he'll be serviceable in this defense and be able to give breathers to other lineman. He may even be a good run stopping DE if given the opportunity. I look forward to seeing just how close I am when cuts are made.
