    my guess is,

    Conner's positional flexability gives us options.

    Johnson, Beason, Davis start.

    Conner is a back-up.

    the rest battle it our for two more spots.

    Davis, Beason, Johnson, Diggs and Conner seem like locks to make the team. Shaw, Anderson, Seward and the other scrubs look to be fighting for only one or maybe two spots?

    My guess is 7. That's what we have done.

    Its possible, though unlilkely, that Diggs doesn't make the team. A 30 year old vet who is a marginal starter is a prime candidate for a cut.

    I think Diggs stays, we're awful young without him.

    The only reason I think he might get cut is if he loses the starting job to LJ and Connor impresses enough to be the top guy off the bench. Now Diggs our 5th LB.
