I'm really, really hyped for next season.
Looking forward to the 2013 draft class improving. Moore, Watson, Rivera, Hayden, McGee will all be starters. Murray and Kasa should get a decent amount of snaps as well.
If we can pull 4-5 more future starters out of this draft class, we might have something here.
Here is an updated early prediction for the 53 man roster:
Special Teams:
Condo
Seabass
King
No surprises here. That leaves 50 spots, 25 for each side of the ball.
Offense
Schaub/McGloin/Draft
McFadden/Murray/(one of Sheets/FA-vet-RB/Draft)
Reece/Olawale
Streater/Jones/Moore/Holmes/Draft/(one of Jenkins/Butler/Criner)
Rivera/Kasa/Draft
Penn/Barnes
Boothe/(one of Draft/Bergstrom/Brisel)
Wiznieski
Howard/Mady
Watson/McCants
that's 25 players.
RB: DMC and Murray are our RBs. Looking at Sheets or a rookie RB to take the 3rd spot.
WR: Probably will go into the season w/ 6 WRs on the roster.
Jones, Streater, Moore & Holmes are locked down, that leaves 2 spots for Butler, Jenkins, Criner, and a draft pick.
TE: I think Ausberry will get cut, he gets hurt too much and still hasn't realized his potential.
Rivera for pass catching, Kasa for blocking. We're gunna have to draft another one as well.
OL:
Barnes is swing tackle and backup guard, provides depth everywhere.
Boothe can play Center if Wiz gets hurt.
Really looking at Mady + McCants to step in and be that depth. I think they both have good potential + we have a good offensive line staff. Maybe they can become future starters.
Brisel and Bergstrom will fight it out for the 9th spot, unless we draft an OL who is better then them. Nix could get cut.
DRAFT/DEPTH SPOTS: 3rd QB, 3rd RB, 4th WR, 3rd TE, 9th OL
I'll do one for the defense later.
