Dallas City News

We have reached the final week of the preseason for the Dallas Cowboys which means all we have to do is watch this team play one more exhibition game before it all starts to count for real.

To this point we have watched this team construct the roster as they have seen fit, but the last week has seen them fill out more paperwork than usual regarding new additions to the club. Naturally this all happened right as we released a collection of 53-man rosters put together by staffers here at BTB, sometimes that is just the way that things go.

Right now 53-man roster predictions are like bars of chocolate. You can never have enough and you never know exactly what you are going to get.

Tip of the hat to my colleagues Danny Phantom, Mike Poland, Brian Martin, David Howman, Tom Ryle, Matt Holleran and Jess Haynie who each not only obliged and built a 53-man roster but amended it after the first week of the preseason. To be fair though that was sort of the point of all of this.

You can see our predictions from last week at this link. But here is how we all feel right now.

Alternative version of the table above, sorted and colorized:

As noted Jordan Phillips and Carl Lawson are newbies that needed to be accounted for so we all had to make things work.

You’ll note that these are rosters that appear ready to play in Week 1 and it is important to mention that the initial 53-man roster that the Cowboys actually set may not include players who will ultimately end up on it. Roster gymnastics are a very real thing.

But here is how we see things at this moment in time. Which build do you like the most?
