Every year, I try to keep track of all of the players that are currently signed to our roster. As such, I figured it would be best if I made a thread out of it, that way I can keep track and keep a record all posters can access.

I too think this should be stickied and it can be fun trying to decided who will be on the team opening day, and what the depth chart will look like.
Agree with the sticky idea, great post/thread. Gave it 5 stars. Our lack of players on the OL is SCARING THE BEJEEBERS OUTA ME!!!
Think that Quentin actually projects as a DE, but tough to call it out as not being an OLB Great thread bro. Might think about "Color coding" as changes occur so we can track what those changes are.. ....and yeah, the lack of Oline is a glaring need for sure.
I did a post stating basically the same thing over at the old site and it was basically pooh-poohed with "don't worry, we'll have plenty of OL before camp". Such low regards for our OL has been the downfall of this franchise for years. The OL has been treated as an after-thought, instead of a necessity. All great teams have a great OL! The players may not all be Pro-Bowlers, but they are a great UNIT. We must get good, quality players that fit our scheme and match up well with each other to ever get a shot at being a SB caliber team again, imho.
great job putting this thread together silverphin. I like the look of our RB group, and our LB's, maybe our WR's... everything else is pretty decent so far. its quite clear we still need alot of OL help, so I'd expect a couple of our draft picks to an that we still definately need help in the secondary
We are definitely going to have to go after a lot of Oline help. Nice thing is, Sparano is an Oline guy, and maybe he has his sights set on guys for June 1 cuts and rookies. I don't think a lot of rookies can come in and start, but we're going to need bodies to throw in there so we have enough men on the field.
Made a few modifications. Apparently, Billingsley will be playing corner, according to the Official Site.
Quarterback: 8. Matt Baker 7. Casey Bramlet Tackles: 78. Julis Wilson Guards: Offensive Lineman (Exact position unspecified by official site): 69. Trey Darilek Center: Tight End: 89. Sean Ryan 80. Aaron Halterman Running Back: Fullback: 46. Boomer Grigsby Wide Receiver: 15. Kerry Reed 85. David Kircus 11. Chandler Williams 17. Tab Perry (03/15/08) Defensive End: 75. Derreck Robinson Nose Tackle: 60. Steve Fifita Linebacker: 43. Junior Glymph 58. Kelvin Smith 51. Mark Washington 57. Marcello Church 50. Edmond Miles 93. Rob Ninkovich Cornerback: 29.

Dave Rayner (03/11/08 Punter: Long Snapper: That's who I think won't be on the roster in 08.
According to some analysis by CK, Merling is most likely going to be an OLB. Hilliard has yet to be officially listed as a fullback as far as I know.
