I am hoping we keep 6 linebackers.  Id sure hate for something to happen to Luke and have to rely on a rookie to fill his shoes.

 

If we did get rid of Klein could we get anything for him ?  A third or 4th round pick ?

​

If this happens,  well Klein was a 5th round pick that we don't want anymore, so no,

no one will offer a thing for him, not even a 7th.  I think he showed last year he is

not good enough on the outside, and Man of Steel Luke in the middle, he's not worth

a roster spot.

 

I was shocked when we drafted Mayo, our 2nd lb in a draft with 5 picks, especially since the

team seemed pretty happy with Glanton.

 

Makes me wonder if there is an issue we don't know about, maybe locker room or off field.

​I wouldn't read into it too much, he was probably the BPA on their board at the time so they pulled the trigger.

I'd be surprised if they only kept 5 LBs to open the season. I think we went with 5 later in the season last year but that was because of injuries at LB and other positions. The last two years they have opened with 6 and they used to keep even more (8 in 2011, 7 in 2012; Hurney loved LBs).

I also think 11 DBs is high. They kept 10 in 2013 but that was the most in recent memory. Last year on D we opened with 9 Dline, 6 LB, and 9 DB. That's what I would expect if we only keep 24 on D again this year. Fox used to almost always go 26O/24D but Ron kept 25/25 his first 3 years. I can't remember a team that had more than 26O or one that had more than 25D.

In the two years with DG/RR we have kept 2/3QB, 10 OL, 5WR, 4 RB/FB, 4 TE, 5DE, 4DT, 6LB, 6/5 CB, and 4 S.

Cotchery was among the best #3s in the league with the Steelers the year before we signed him. Last year he was put in a position where he couldn't really succeed. He's a great locker room guy and would be better than most other team's #4s and there's nobody else that's better than him competing with him. Behind KB, Funch, Brown, and maybe Ginn/Bersin, I'm completely fine with him making the roster. It really doesn't hurt at all. Unless Hill can somehow learn to catch the ball in the next few months, then I agree with Jeremy's WR predictions.

I know it's been nothing splashy this offseason but I'm really excited about our safety group going forward.  

 

Would love to see Coleman excel here along with Jones still playing very well and this Marlowe kid contributing somehow.  Don't forget Boston now in his second year.  It's good stuff.

​Agreed.  The fact that we've got Jerricho Cotchery anywhere from our 4th to 6th option shows how far this receiving group has come. We've got a very good roster this season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
