Selvin Young rb
Chris Perry rb
Kenny Watson rb (reactivation)
Ricky Williams rb (reactivation)
Aaron Rodgers qb
JT O'Sullivan qb
Brodie Croyle qb
Matt Ryan qb
JaMarcus Russell qb
Kyle Orton qb (reactivation)
Matt Prater k (reactivation)
Nick Novak k
Dan Carpenter k

These are guys I'm strongly considering adding....not a one of 'em a must have, really, other than the spot they currently have with their team (i.e. we try to have the starting QB and kicker for every team)

I dunno whether there's a need to IPO a Raven QB for the moment...or who....and yes, I know this list includes some quite unproven guys (i.e. Matt Ryan). Speaking of rookies...this list currently doesn't contain any of a number of rookie running backs that we'll likely want....do we just go ahead and add some of them? (i.e. McFadden, Forte...)

This also includes no defensive players....there's so many we 'could' add.....not a lot we 'must' add.

And, while we're at it.....there's also some DEactivations we could do...some we have a good idea they won't be back, some not as much

Forte is definitely the starter and McFadden sure seems like a star, I would like them ipo.

I can't imagine Kevin Smith not beating out Tatum Bell in short order....or at least getting a decent amount of carries. Ray Rice, Rashard Mendenhall, and Jonathan Stewart...same thing (tho unlikely to unseat the starter).

Maybe it's just a weak exercise in principal to not IPO at least starters.

Rice may not get the carries right away behind McGahee. Ditto Mendenhall behind Parker and Stewart behind Williams, and yes McFadden behind Fargus..........but I'm betting every one of 'em gets a decent amount of carries from game 1 (and none have 'bust' written on 'em)

as for deactivations:

Brian Simmons
Courtney Brown
Ian Gold
Jeremiah Trotter
Kendrell Bell
Rob Morris
Sean Taylor
Morten Andersen
Anthony Thomas
David Givens
Eddie Kennison
Eric Moulds
Eric Parker
Keenan McCardell
Kelly Holcomb
Koren Robinson
Peerless Price
Reche Caldwell
Travis Henry
Trent Dilfer
Troy Brown

and after 2 weeks, I think the list looks something like this:

Bryant Johnson, WR, SF
Tony Scheffler, TE, DEN
Eddie Royal, WR, DEN
Chris Johnson, RB, TEN
Steve Slaton, RB, HOU
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, NYG
Fred Jackson, RB, BUF
Devery Henderson, WR, NO
Courtney Taylor, WR, SEA

Jon Beason, D, CAR
Dhani Jones, D, CIN
D'Qwell Jackson, D, CLE
Fred Bennett, D, HOU
E.J. Henderson, D, MIN
Jerod Mayo, D, NE
Cortland Finnegan, D, TEN

I do apologize......real life has been slowing me down even more than usual lately.........and usatoday's hockey issues ate up some of the time I would otherwise have had for IPOs
