LS- Morgan Cox

 

Total- Offense 18, Defense-21, Special Teams-3 = 42 Locks

11 Spots left

The needs and options:

3rd RB- Anthony Allen, Jalen Parmale, Matt Lawrence, Damien Berry

Backup Center- Bryan Mattison, Jason Murphy, Tim Barnes, Ryan Bartholomew

Backup O-line or 2- Mark LeVoir, Ramon Harewood, Justin Boren

3rd Tight End- Davon Drew, Kris Wilson, Jonathan Stupar

3rd and 4th ILB- Brendon AyanbadejoDannell Ellerbe,  Jason PhillipsAnthony Leon, Taveres Gooden

I think we keep 7 for the immediate needs. My guesses are Kris Wilson, Anthony Allen, Brendon AyanbadejoDannell Ellerbe, Bryan Mattison, Ramon Harewood and Mark LeVoir. Allen and Wilson are looking much better than their competition, and we need the depth along the offensive line. BA is one of our ST aces, and Ellerbe has more upside.

 That leaves 4 more spots. 

Additional possibilities:

3rd Quarterback- ?

5th Defensive End- Lamar Divens, Albert McClellan

Another offensive lineman- Justin Boren

4th RB- Jalen Parmale, Matt Lawrence, Damien Berry

6th WR- Marcus Smith, LaQuan Williams, James Hardy, Justin Harper

5th ILB or OLB- Jason Phillips, Anthony Leon, Taveres Gooden, Prescott Burgess

5th Safety- Marcus Paschal, Mana Silva, Nate Wiilliams

6th CB- Talmadage Jackson, Chykie Brown, Danny Gorrer

 

It is looking more and more like we will not pick up a 3rd QB, I think the likely scenario is keeping a CB, either Divens, or Boren, Prescott Burgess who is one of our best Special Teams players, .and either a RB or WR depending on where the team sees the need. The emergence of McPhee and Arthur Jones make Divens more expendable, and we have only 1 legit backup at the position in LeVoir.  I like LaQuan Williams for that last spot, and the recent punt return vs. Washington definitely helped his cause. So I will go with Williams, Boren, Burgess and one of the CBs (none have jumped out at me yet).
