Well, here it is. The official unofficial 53-man roster projection, posted before Friday night's preseason game against Dallas (which, admittedly, renders these projections almost useless).

I'm going out on a limb with a few of these, most notably keeping QB Tarvaris Jackson over John David Booty (barring a trade before Saturday), CB Karl Paymah over Marcus McCauley, and LB Kenny Onatolu over Erin Henderson.

The Paymah and Onatolu predictions are almost certainly dead wrong. But whatever. The Vikings like both of those men on special teams.
