With Orakpo being our only SLB this year, he would also count towards the defensive line, since we don't need a SLB very often, only on the GL and in true 4-3 situations.

There will be 10 DL players rostered, including Orakpo. If you count Alexander as DE, that means 6 DEs.

DT - Haynesworth, Griffin, Monty, Golston
DE - Daniels (LE), Alexander (LE) [the new Evans?], Carter (RE), Orakpo (RE), Jackson(RE/LE), Buzbee/Wynn/Derek Walker (LE)
LB - Fletcher, Blades, Fincher, McIntosh, Glenn, Henson/Wilson
DBs - As expected

So, that would mean DL is stacked, LB is normally rostered, like last year.

WR is going to be stacked on offense I forsee. We've always kept five. In 2005, we kept four and used our other personnel more creatively. This year, Moss/Randle El/Thomas/Kelly are roster locks. Roydell Williams seems almost necessary to have after last years debacle. But we still need that special teamer. So that means Trent Shelton vs. Marko Mitchell, loser to practice squad.

And then the one camp battle is Eddie Williams vs. Todd Yoder, for special teamer/backup fullback.

There's also a camp battle for Rock's spot, I suppose. Not that anyone is going to win it.
