I think the biggest glaring weakness is still the overall defense. About 5-6 of the "starting" players would be rotational players on the majority of NFL teams. After that, obviously the pass catching group is one of the worst in the NFL. Albeit a chunk of that is due to very unproven, young players. Still 2-3 offseasons away from potentially being a good roster but at least we might have made some overall progress towards that goal.

I am not sure about that. Wharton is really bad against the run.

Dammit. Wanted the SO

And the haul of future picks too.

Apparently, Rod didn’t mean it as a slight. He said he appreciated him being honest.

Big Cat = Big Pussy

Buzzing hard. Let's get #3!!!

IDK what we can do about it anymore.

I experienced the exact opposite. I will never put a dime in Bally ever again.

It isn't FD bad. It has never been great.

fug em both

He elevates his game against other Russian goalies.

I forgot Hekker.

Only our second FA to sign elsewhere, correct?

Not a surprise, IMO.

Yeah, I mean I just don't think there was a single GM in this league that looks at him as starting material. I never understood where that came from. Good signing at a market rate. Very valuable depth.

I suspect we will draft/sign a rookie.

I am a little surprised the Bosa to SF deal hasn't been completed yet.

Yeah, it just feels like we are competing with ourselves. That's sort of the classic issue with a lot of our bad FO moves. I definitely feel that way about the Horn contract. Wow. That was so insanely reckless.

You know, Thomas just kept fooling everyone in that building somehow. Remember how many times he "flashed in training camp/practice" and then disappeared during the season? It was NUTS. I don't see ever being okay paying significantly above market value for a blocking TE. They are just too easy to be had for a small price tag. That's just my personal philosophy on the matter. Not the way I like to see cap space utilized.

TBH, after the initial surge of deals, it's probably better to let the market settle down and do some value shopping. Not sure there are a lot of upper end FA's that fit what they seem to be doing.

NT was a big signing, I think. That solves a huge roster hole. SS seems to be a big upgrade(on paper). The rest are largely rotational guys in spots we need starters, so that is a TBD if that matters or not. On the surface, slightly better overall.

As a former college football player buddy of mine once said to me, "Potential just means you haven't done poo yet." XL was not good, Sanders showed some flashes and Wallace was a mixed bag. Overall, it was a pretty bad draft after year one. D-, at best. TBD if that changes as they develop(or don't).
