Training Camp/Pre-season Predictions

[jakecronus8]

As far as position battles go...

I think QB depth stays the same as last year, and many will be calling for us to cut Brohm and sign a vet.

RB's will be Grant, Jackson, Wynn, and Lumpkin.

Kuhn is cut and Johnson is starting FB.

Same WR set as last year, though if they really like Swain, I could see Ruvell traded to a WR starved team. Jones will solidfy the 3rd spot with a huge preseason.

Finley will sparkle in the preseason only to have Lee named starter at TE anyways.

Clifton, Colledge, Spitz, Sitton, Barbre are starters on the OL, but I have a hunch someones gonna get hurt prior to the start of the season. I know, its weird to predict injuries, that's just a feeling.

As far as the 3-4 goes, I expect a lot of growing pains. I think the front 3 will be Pickett, Raji, and Harrell by default if he stays healthy. Probably wont deserve it but Pack will be eager to give him opportunities to shake the bust label. I see Jolly busting completely lost and Thompson getting pushed around. Kamp will look ok, as will Hawk, but I have a hard time seeing anyone busting out in this system early. Maybe Bishop will. Who knows how long it will take Barnett to get on the field.

I think we keep 10 or so DB's. Harris, Woodson, Collins, Bigby and Williams are locks. Rouse will have a great preseason and Blackmons too valuable as a returner. Can't see them giving up on Pat Lee so quickly either so thats 8 guys. I'll say smith and underwood are the last two given Smith was our only free agent pick up of note and underwoods potential, meaning the Jarret Bush experiment is finally over. all rejoice.

Notable cuts or traded

Good post. We already have a training camp thread and I can't merge the two so I am going to repost yours in that thread.
