Mike Harris-UCLA

Jeremy Jones-Wayne St

Nick Hixson-Hillsdale

Robert Blanton-Notre Dame

QB

1) Dalton 2014-for life

2) Gradkowski 2012-fan of Grad but would consider an upgrade

3) Robinson 2012-love his ability to pass and run, great backup

4) (Round 7) Kellen Moore-Boise St-Fits what we are doing here perfectly. His limitations and strengths match our offense well.

RB

1) Tolbert/Bush/Hillis-Bush would be the ideal but he will carry a big price tag. I like Hillis next but he comes with baggage. Tolbert is more of a bowling ball and less complete but is still young (26) and would be a nice fit next to Scott.

2) Scott 2012-Think he is still just at the cusp of what he can be

3) Leonard 2012-Really solid on 3rd down, limited elsewhere

4) Peerman 2011®-Stud STeamer, restricted fa brought back

5) (Round 5) Dan Herron-OSU-I had a 5th rounder available and I like Herron due to his pass catching ability. Not sure where he fits us, BPA at this point. X-Benson 2011-Too many issues.

FB

1) Pressley 2011®-restricted and will be back

2) Develin 2012-can go back on PS next year so I expect him back

3) CFA-Emil Igwenagu-Umass-Versatile FB who has also played TE and LB. Also like Bruce Figgins from Georgia. TE/FB as well.

WR

1) Green 2014-Stud 4 life

2) Simpson 2011®-Extraordinarily inconsistent. Deserves another year but not at all costs. Should be fairly easy to resign. Continuity is important.

3) Shipley 2013-Stud but fragile. Fear he will always be that way.

4) (Round 2) Mohamed Sanu-Rutgers-I am blown away by Sanu. Seems to fit us perfect, will block, catches a ton and is still raw enough after playing some safety/RB and QB early in his career that he might fall to us as teams look for more polished guys.

5) Hawkins 2012-Flat out Hawkins needs used more. A 4 wideout set with Ship and Hawkins in the slots would be pretty difficult to stop. I would use him as a return man more.

6) Whalen 2014-Really flashed some ability at the end of the year. Someone put it perfectly but he is a poor man's Kevin Walter.

7) Tate 2012-Erratic return man who is signed thru next year so we might as well give him an offseason to see what he can do in this offense. Still developing as a WR. Seems pretty slow when it comes to picking up plays and making quality decisions in the return game.

8) Binns 2012-Roster at the end of the year but I don't think he saw time. Offseason to see how he fits would be warranted.

9) Hazelton 2012-Added to the practice squad at the end of the year.

10) CFA-Wes Kemp-Missourri-Size Speed Guy

11) CFA-Rashad Mason-Georgetown-NC Transfer was a top ten recruit at WR

X-Caldwell 2011-Too inconsistent and we have too many other options.

TE

1) Gresham 2014-Very solid guy who will help us open up the offense

2) Lee 2011®-Great vet for a young team. Should be back without much issye

3) Cochart 2012-Great first year was a decent weapon on offense and should only get better

4) CFA-Shadrae King-Robert Morris-Undersized pass catcher from a small school

x-Scaife 2011 (IR)-injured before he had a chane.

LT

1) Whitworth 2015-Solid LT

2) Adam Goldberg-Rams LT/RT-Can sell him on going to the playoffs. Will be a backup for the Rams with Saffold and Smith anyway.

3) O'Donnell 2012-Developmental Tackle

x-Collins 2011-Likely heading somewhere else

LG

1) (Round 1) Cordy Glenn-Ga-Love his versatility as I think he can play every position well but LT tomorrow and he can backup LT in a pinch.

2) Boling 2014-Developmental LG-should be playing somewhere soon.

3) CFA-Matt Cleveland-Idaho-Playing LT for the Vandals-Versatility a plus.

x-Livings 2011-Time to turn this page

C

1) Cook 2015-Ok, dont really notice him, signed long term so they have an investment there, might as well upgrade next to him to see how he is.

2) Scott Mruczkowski-Chargers Backup veteran from Ohio, Can play C and LG

x-McGlynn 2011®-Played his way off the roster the last month

RG

1) Vernon Carey-Dolphins-Veteran who can play for a year or so. Might want to jump to a playoff team. Tough to leave Miami for Cincy though, might need to overpay

2) (Round 3) Amini Silatolu-Midwestern St-Mauler/high motor

3) Hudson 2012-Could be a future solid player can't count on him yet.

x-Williams 2011-end of the road

RT

1) Smith 2012-Up and down at times but worth another year to see how good he can get. Might have a great year in a contract year then?

2) (Round 5) Marcel Jones-Nebraska-Mammoth RT with back issues that will drop him in the draft

3) CFA-Mike Harris-UCLA-versatile has played LT and RT

x-Roland 2011-end of the road

K

1) Nugent 2011®-Should resign and was solid till the last few games.

2) Weber 2012-Was on the squad for our last "offseason". Insurance for Nugent collapse or not resigning

P

1) Huber 2012-No problems

LS

1)Harris 2011®-No Problems should resign

LE

1) Geathers 2012-Solid but not spectacular

2) Rucker 2011®-Nice year should be back

3) (Round 7) Logan Harrell-Fresno St-Very active DT/DE tweener who may fly under the radar

LT

1) Peko 2014-Love him, active and it is infectious

2) Sims 2011®-Solid but if we lose him would be replaceable. Unique in his skillset on the team

3) (Round 4) Alameda Ta'amu-Washngton-Very large and active guy who can play the NT spot

RT

1) Atkins 2013-Breakout year,

2) Fanene 2011®-Very active with limited snaps, hope he sticks around

3) Hayden 2011®-Restricted so he will hopefully be back at low price, may not tender and then just offer him a deal as a UFA

RE

1) Johnson 2012-Future at DE, sign him up before he blows up

2) Dunlap 2013-Future at DE

3) CFA-Frank Alexander-Oke-High motor sackmaster

4) CFA-Brett Roy-Nevada-High motor sackmaster

SLB

1) Lawson 2011®-Should resign if the number is reasonable, adequate starter, active and on sts

2) Moch 2014-Cant wait to see what he can do

3) Evans 2012-Tried at MLB as well- We shall see where he lands, Team loved him in preseason

MLB

1) Mualaga 2012-Another year to see if he gets it

2) Skuta 2011®-Must resign, as odd as it sounds I don't think there was much dropoff when he played. Doesnt have Mualagas power

3) Muckleroy 2013-Achilles injury means dont cound on me for 2012. Anything he gives is icing

4) Johnson 2012-Worth a look at SLB as well. Nice developmental type

WLB

1) Howard 2012-Best overall LB

2) Rivers 2013-Can backup all 3 spots and is an adequate starter at WLB. No need to drop him yet

3) Rey 2012-STeamer

4) (Round 6) Emmanuel Lamur-Kansas St-Former S could be a great nickel lb and steamer filling Johnson's role.

x-Johnson 2011-Down year, might get more PT elsewhere

SS

1) Landry/Lowery/Branch/Griffin-Order will be FS Griffen, SS Landry, FS Branch, FS Lowery. Nelson will move to SS if we sign a FS.

2) Crocker 2012-depth for 2012

3) Miles 2011 ®-Steamer

4) CFA-Nick Hixson-Hillsdale-WR/S/KR at a small school

FS

1) Nelson 2011®-Solid 2011 needs resigned

2) Mays 2014-Huge upside, would like him tried at Nickel LB if he can't hack it here

3) Sands 2014-Upside with great size

4) CFA-Jeremy Jones-Wayne St-Great production with 9ints last year at a small school

x-Gibril Wilson-Like him but I am not sure there is a spot for him

CB

1) Clements 2012-Solid 2011 if not great

2) Jones 2011®-Needs to be resigned, very thin here

3) (Round 1) Alfonso Dennard-Nebraska-Best CB available round 1.

4) Hall 2015-Achilles injury, I would expect him never to be back at full speed and be excited when he is.

5) Jennings 2011®-Bring him backf or depth

6) Ghee 2012-Developmental guy

7) Murray 2012-Can play both Corner and Safety

8) CFA-Robert Blanton-Notre Dame-Big Corner who tackles well and may be able to transition to Safety
