Ok, here it is....my official projected 2013 roster

Don't beat me up too much over this :)

I typically do this within 10 days of our season ending. This is the 4th year I've done this and typically I get about 38-40 of the 53 right and usually get 1-2 of the rookies right. This year is going to be brutal because we have so many uncertainties with free agents/cuts and also have 11 rookies.

LOL, we lose one Kruger and get another. That'd be his younger bro, right?

BA, Ihedigbo/Omar would be the spots I'd look at first. We've gone with 5 safeties before, but I think Asa Jackson could play S in a pinch? (Not sure why I think that). I'm torn who to cut though, Ihedigbo is a stalwart vet, and actually slowed down Ginn on the winning punt of the SB, but Omar Brown could be a real force, Ed Reed sung his praises REAL highly.

good thing you arent Ozzie.. lol
:)

Ok, had to cut Omar Brown and move him to the practice squad. I was one player off and I figured I just mis-counted somewhere. I expect Pierce to be a Raven in 2013 :ww:

I agree. The "good news" is that of those 53 players, one is bound to get hurt and open up a spot for Hamilton/Brown/Carr/LaQuan

I'd really like to get both Minter and Rambo. That would be freaking sweet. Rambo is a ball hawking hard hitting safety that we need.
