Offense (20)
QB (2) - Matt Hasselbeck, Seneca Wallace
RB/FB (4) - Shaun Alexander, Maurice Morris, Mack Strong, Leonard Weaver
WR (4) - Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram, DJ Hackett
TE (2) - Marcus Pollard, Will Heller
OL (8) - Walter Jones, Sean Locklear, Chris Spencer, Chris Gray, Tom Ashworth, Ray Willis, Rob Sims, Mansfield Wrotto
Defense (19)
DE (4) - Patrick Kerney, Bryce Fisher, Darryl Tapp, Baraka Atkins
DT (4) - Rocky Bernard, Chuck Darby, Marcus Tubbs, Brandon Mebane
OLB (3) - Julian Peterson, Leroy Hill, Kevin Bentley
ILB (2) - Lofa Tatupu, Niko Koutouvides
S (2) - Deon Grant, Brian Russell
CB (4) - Marcus Trufant, Kelly Jennings, Jordan Babineaux, Josh Wilson
Special Teams (3)
K - Josh Brown
P - Ryan Plackemeier
LS - Derek Rackley
For sure you need the following 7 positions from these players:
1 QB: David Greene (basically a lock by default)
1 FB/RB: Josh Parry, David Kirtman, Marquis Weeks
1 TE: Joe Newton, Leonard Stephens, Bennie Joppru
1 OL: Floyd Womack, Pat Ross, Steve Vallos
2 LB: Will Herring, Lance Laury, Marquis Cooper
1 S: Michael Boulware, Mike Green
That leaves 4 spots to divide between:
0-2 WR: Ben Obomanu, Courtney Taylor, Jordan Kent
0-1 OL: Floyd Womack, Pat Ross, Steve Vallos
0-2 DT: Russell Davis, Craig Terrill
0-1 S: Michael Boulware, Mike Green
So besides the intra-position battles, you end up with those last four positions fighting for the final four roster spots. I think those spots are best used for the 5th WR, 9th and 10th DT, and 4th S.
For clarity, this is the roster I am advocating at this point, assuming everyone is healthy:
Offense (25)
QB (3) - Matt Hasselbeck, Seneca Wallace, David Greene
RB/FB (5) - Shaun Alexander, Maurice Morris, Mack Strong, Leonard Weaver, RB5
WR (5) - Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram, DJ Hackett, WR5
TE (3) - Marcus Pollard, Will Heller, TE3
OL (9) - Walter Jones, Sean Locklear, Chris Spencer, Chris Gray, Tom Ashworth, Ray Willis, Rob Sims, Mansfield Wrotto, OL9
Defense (25)
DE (4) - Patrick Kerney, Bryce Fisher, Darryl Tapp, Baraka Atkins
DT (6) - Rocky Bernard, Chuck Darby, Marcus Tubbs, Brandon Mebane, Russell Davis, Craig Terrill
OLB (5) - Julian Peterson, Leroy Hill, Kevin Bentley, LB6, LB7
ILB (2) - Lofa Tatupu, Niko Koutouvides
S (4) - Deon Grant, Brian Russell, Michael Boulware, Mike Green
CB (4) - Marcus Trufant, Kelly Jennings, Jordan Babineaux, Josh Wilson
Special Teams (3)
K - Josh Brown
P - Ryan Plackemeier
LS - Derek Rackley
RB5: Josh Parry, David Kirtman, or Marquis Weeks
WR5: Ben Obomanu, Courtney Taylor, or Jordan Kent
TE3: Joe Newton, Leonard Stephens, or Bennie Joppru
OL9: Floyd Womack, Pat Ross, or Steve Vallos
LB6/LB7: Two from Will Herring, Lance Laury, and Marquis Cooper
And I think the only other spots really worth considering would be to add a 6th WR or 10th OL, and those would come at the cost of the 4th S or 5th/6th DT.
