Hey SHOUTsters, and Fin Fans everywhere : ) !!
It's early, but seeing that our Miami Dolphins are celebrating somewhat of a rebirth lets take a look at what we've conceived ..
A glimmer in only their own fathers eye's, some potential of development, or pleasant surprises ?? Maybe there is a diamond in the ruff or one of 7 inactive gameday roster spots that they can fill toward the mandated 53 man roster, while several others may be destined for the Developmental Practice Squad ??

That's the active game-day forty six that I see which includes thirteen new additions !!
We may desire one more game day WR !! Who is he ( amongst what we currently have ), and what position risk's depth towards his inclusion ?? Maybe you envision an entirely different five WR's, and/or roster ?? Who would you include toward the game day 46 while excluding one for every inclusion, and what positions would you add depth to while minimizing options at others ?? Who are your seven game day in-actives, Who are your Practice Squad prospects ??
We are also extremely likely to have to make room for a free-agent or two, or three upon the league-wide final cuts ( OL, TE, WR, D )!! Do the eventual free agent additions simply replace one of the 46 from the position that they themselves play, and who most needs to be upgraded at the bottom of each position of the 46 list ??
It's early in the gestation period, but I think I can see the head, while believing that fewer than five fingers worth of moves are yet to fully form toward altering and finalizing the 2012 forty six man game day active roster ..
What would you suggest toward the current embryonic 2012 Miami Dolphin Roster ??
