Roster overview:

QB: Derek Carr, 63, is obviously the man here and is a top 5 QB in this league. Derek Thoman. 16/50, and Charles Wiegmann, 28/42, are both quality backups.

RB: We have a change worth noting here for the first time in years as rookie 5th round pick Kenyon Foerstel, 49/61, will be toting the rock. Liam Dunsmore, 46, will be his primary backup coming off of a breakout season and Bruce Gunn, 44, will be the receiving down back.

FB: 2nd round pick Ivan Pinnock, 50/73, looks like a stud while Mackenzie Kemock, 55, is also a quality player.

TE: Carlos Thompson, 74, is a great pass catching TE, currently seen as the 4th best in the league, poised to dominate from this spot. Sean Lyon, 54, may not be at that same level but he can be a great #2. Vance McDonald, 50, makes a good 3rd TE as he is a blocker who can play FB but we have depth there now too.

WR: Bobby Thornton, 65, and Jared Kocurek, 61, make a great starting duo. 3rd round pick Bucky Creighton, 42/68, looks to add an explosive 3rd man to the group. Devin Street, 44, looked great until he broke his leg last year but will miss half this season too. Paul Richardson, 40, was a disappointing FA last year.

C: Graham Moore, 69/70, is one of the better centers in the league, currently ranked 9th. Brandon Mosley, 49, is a solid backup.

LG: Raul Webster, 69, is currently considered the 6th best at either guard spot in the league. Dominigo Harvey, 22/50, is a high upside reserve.

RG: Dallas Thomas, 50, is a capable player in his 6th year while Spencer Nasbaum, 29/50, has upside.

LT: Vince Binkow, 76, is currently the 3rd best tackle in the league. 3rd year man Jeremiah Strickland, 31/48, is solid.

RT: Rookie Aaron Kaplan, 38/72, could become great. Greg Robinson, 50, could be the top backup tackle in the league.

P: Marquette King, 69, is the 10th best in the league so holding steady here.

K: Lamar Ficken, 53, is a solid enough kicker at 13th in the league.

LDE: Abel Durham, 63/78, is the 16th best end in the country with the potential to hit top 2 Vernon Olivier, 57, is an expensive but talented backup.

RDE: Jacob Keith, 61/65, is a great pass rushing DE coming off of a breakout year. Hunter Middleton, 49/55, has been a consistent contributor for years.

LDT: We signed another band-aid type FA here in Ezra Friend, 43/47. He will start. Nolan Randle, 43, and Lamar Yarbrough, 40, will back him up.

RDT: We signed our top FA so far, Michael Brockers, 70, here. He should give a great anchor to our line. Shannon Shrieber, 38/46, will be his backup

MLB: Last year's FA Perry Riley, 47, is our starter but is expected to miss the first few games. Dakota Saban, 45, will fill in for him.

SLB: Khalil Mack, 72, has been a very good backer for us. Jared Bernard, 37/39, has probably been the best LB I have drafted but that isn't saying much.

WLB: Sio Moore, 55, has been a steady contributer. Zach Brown, 43, will fill in when needed here and at SLB.

LCB: DJ Hayden, 63, has been a staple here. Keith McGill, 61, is a great nickle guy. Marcus Cooper, 42, will play sparingly.

RCB: Lester Norris, 47, is a very good man cover corner. Brandon Dixon, 44, was a solid starter for us last year.

SS: Frank Shepardson, 40, has been a solid starter since being a 6th round pick. Deandre Dunlap, 23/35, does not look to be such a steal.

FS: Tavon Wilson, 50, is still one of our most successful FA signings. Dwayne Emmons, 40, was a steal as the last pick of his draft and is now a very good dime back and backup safety.

LS: Antoine Watkins, 17, is a dependable snapper
