Taylor and Jean-Francois are longshots to make the roster. Sheets and Boone are probably both headed to the practice squad. Nate Davis will more than likely join these four players.
Bear doesn't really have competition for the 3rd TE position (JJ Finley is not going to beat him out), and McKillop is going to be the first in for Spikes. So, these guys seem to have a spot already on the 53-man. The same goes for Coffee and Crabs.
P.S. Can you imagine if Barry Sims makes this roster? Half the board would be standing on top of the Bay Bridge, ready to jump. Suddenly, I'm beginning to like the guy more and more.
Lol. I can see the title of your next thread now: "Barry Sims is a good football player."

If they all made the 53 man roster I would feel sad about our team

Sorry, my mistake in typing. Robinson also makes my prediction of the 53-man team (Gore, Coffee, Sheets, Norris and Robinson).

Shouldn't the question/statement be:
"If all of the Raiders rookies are cut before training camp begins...."
I hope that Boone makes the team. From what I saw last season and a questionable Marvel Smith starting, we need all the O-linemen we can get.
Other than that, Coffee, Crab and Pascoe will make the team. Taylor, if he makes it will work on special teams and be an emergency DB. Nate will go to the PS. Sheets is a longshot along with Ricky, though I hope they find room on the 53 man roster for at least one of them.

Jean Francois and McDonald will battle for that last D-Line spot

I like your optimism, but lets get a little reality check.
1. McKillop, will be a back up and special teams player, barring injury to starters.
Jean francois- might not make team, will be PS eligible.
Alex Boone- even if he makes team, will not be active game days, due to Wragee, Snyder more versatile and more experience.
Glen Coffee- RB's can do well as rookies.
Crabtree- coming off injury, adjustment to NFL, uncertain qb situation.

I agree, that would mean that almost 20% of our current team is replaced by rookies...meaning that our talent level wasn't very strong before the rookie class.

Wrong.... no one needs Barry Simms.

Not sure if I should take this post seriously or not. Sheets, Davis and Boone would not even make it to our practice squad. McCloughan and Sing know this.

I would love to have this backfield each week. Gore would get 20 carries, Coffee would get 8-10 and sheets with 5-8. Ball control but with power and speed. When teams get tired of taking on Gore and Coffee they would then have to deal with the speed and quick moves of sheets.
