For me, it's DT.

With Roby cementing his spot, AA most likely going to IR, & Morgan on his way to getting cut for inconsistency , the WR battle comes down to Toon or Tanner. I really could care less if, Toon or Tanner get placed on PS or makes the final 53. Either one that gets the last spot will probably be inactive most of the year and/or have minimal touches, even with an injury to a starter so I'm fine with whomever the coaches choose.

Whereas, DT has been a key issue for us to upgrade and so far through preseason has been the key to freeing up our DE's into one-on-one matchups. With Bunkley & Ellis now as solid starters, Hicks and someone else not named Swanson Miller (Ayodele, Walker, or Johnson) will be key backups in rotation and as injury insurance for our starters. I'm pulling for Walker cuz it's in vogue to pull for fresh meat that we have never seen before who knows how to dominate 3rd stringers.

Not sure about Spags, but GW has carried only 3DTs in the past. I doubt that they do it again, but I don't think it's out of the question given Cam looking like he'll be playing on the inside on 3rd down. If they do carry 4, I think Ayodele makes it with Bunkley/Ellis/Hicks. Walker tore shite up in the first game, but with Hicks being a bit of a project, they will go with a more proven guy.

I really hope that we don't carry 2 FBs again, though.
