2008 Steelers Roster Predictions

After the exodus of Dookie, Legursky, Lorello, Retkofsy, and Zabransky we now have 82 players on the roster.  You can only have 80 players signed maximum during the offseason (plus one NFL Europe player), which basically means we need to cut one more guy before July 28, assuming we sign our rookies.  I have projected my 45-man roster, plus inactives (8 or 7 if we make Dixon #46 as a third QB), plus 8 practice squad.  Note that Marvin Allen cannot be moved from the Practice Squad.  He is the Steelers 2008 NFL Europe player and he must be the 9th player on the Practice Squad.  It's fun to guess which guys go into which category. You can see my predictions in table form, after the jump.  Let the healthy debate begin:
