Not sure they'll address all of the needs people list.
CB for example... we have Gonzalez, Alex Austin, J Jones, M Jones, Wade, Marco Wilson all as guys who have played regular snaps for teams and (besides J Jones) are 25 or under. Then they have Isaiah Bolden from last year and Marcellus Dial...
Love this. I think Higgins might be more gettable from CINC than Aiyuk from SF, but same idea.
They can keep Onwenu at RT for now and try Wallace at RT, but feels like in the long run that OL alignment is best for everyone. Onwenu can play RT but he's great at RG. Even if Wallace is able to...
If I were Mayo I'd stop talking about BB. Don't talk about how you're the same, how you're different, what you do differently. Just let his name run out of the discourse as much as you can. Because while we're coming off a 4-13 season and there's some dissatisfaction with what BB did his last...
Even if everyone is healthy for all years and injuries don't play into it... I find it hard to believe that the starting 5 on the OL to open this upcoming 2024 season will be the same 5-man combo we open the 2025 season with. And I find it almost unfathomable that it will be the same 5 to open...
We know that all 3 of Douglas/Polk/Baker will make the team. The question is how that trio compares to the vet group of Bourne/Osborn/Juju. The rest of the team will see what happens at WR in camp. You have to respect them and their efforts. As much as we want the rookies/young guys to get all...
On the one hand I love to have players who are loyal to the organization.
On the other hand, I want smart players and this seems... not so smart on his part lol
In all seriousness though, he must have real optimism that with BB and his son gone there will be some schematic switches that...
I don't think Gibson has much to be concerned about. He's been a decent player already. Even in a world where Bell learns an entirely new position in his first year in the NFL and excels immediately as a pass catching back, then Gibson is still far and away the 3rd best RB on the roster which...
Not sure who the criminal is.
I think on his high end, he could be a Jonnu Smith type of player. That will get shot down by people on here because he was a bust of a FA signing for what we paid him, but he's a good player. That'd be a great outcome for a 7th rounder.
Key word in that statement is "generally".
Look, I'd love if Bell is a stud. Of course. But I'm just saying that if he can come in and learn to contribute in the kicking game, learn to block well enough to be someone that "un-needs" keeping a designated full back on the roster, and just be a...
Everyone wants Justin Simmons, but I'm not so sure. I'd rather use that position for some development. They have to decide if they want to keep Peppers and for that to make sense it probably would require him and Dugger being able to thrive as full time safety duo when we're not in a sub package...
Here's the thing with Juju... If he's not a top 3 or maybe top 4 option for you at WR, what's the point? If he's fallen that far down the depth chart, he's obviously not someone you're going to keep on the roster next year once the financials of cutting him are easy. He has no STs value in the...
Seems like odd timing. Our tackle position is still unsettled. Okorafor/Wallace/Anderson/McDermott/Lowe/Wheatley all coming to camp competing. 6 guys for 3 spots most likely, and only Wallace is a sure-fire roster lock. Could always be injuries too. Not sure why they felt the need to thin the...
Looking through the roster for next year, a few spots stand out to me. You never want to go into an offseason with a desperate need at one spot. Obviously we still need a #1 WR, but that's different than not having a depth chart in tact for next year. We have bodies under contract. LT is another...
Ranking them as players for this year I'd probably go...
1) Bourne
2) Osborn
3) Douglas
4) Polk
5) Baker
6) Juju
7) Thornton
8) Boutte
9) Reagor
It get a bit complicated because Polk and Baker are roster locks despite where they rank today on the depth chart. Douglas is obviously a lock based...
This makes sense, but not sure how practical it is. Wallace is a rookie. Some of them are instant hits, but general rule is probably that they take some time and go through some growing pains. So even if Wallace ends up as a "serviceable" LT in his career, he's likely less than that as a rookie...
Key players up for free agency after this year to consider extensions for (excluding guys who signed 1 year deals this year because nothing would have changed with them since signing):
EDGE Matthew Judon - I would NOT try to extend right now. He's going to want top of the market money but he's...
Most seem to have come to the acceptance/realization that this is probably going to be a bridge year. So the important thing in a bridge year is where you find yourselves after it.
You need guys playing positions they're meant for in a scheme they're meant to play in. You need that in 5 spots...
Even if Wallace can play LT.... how well do they think he can play it. Is he just serviceable there or is he a legit asset in that spot? If he's even serviceable at LT then it's a good find for the scouting team to identify that out of him, but do we really want a "serviceable" LT. If he can be...
