So, after following all of the news at training camp (even attending a couple and Fan Fest myself), I have to say, there are some positions I think that we're definitely set at moving forward. Here's the positions I think that we will not draft, even if there is an incredible player there, waiting:

 

QB1
MLB
RB (This one is debatable, but, with the money tied up in JStew this year, along with the recent pick-ups of CAP and Todman, I think we're set here for at least a couple more years)
DT (Other than possibly some depth, I think we're set at DT for a long time)
SOLB (TD for now, then Shaq)

 

Those are the positions I would say for certain that we're truly locked in for the long haul, and you won't see much change moving forward from what we have now. There are some that I left off because of possible retirements, age, etc. Now, we have to look at what is the next group of players - players who are good/going to be good, that we're invested in for the future. But, you may see some movement here if there's any immediate upgrades in the Draft or in Free Agency that we could nab. For those, I'd say:

 

WR (KB, Funchess, and Brown)
LG/C/RG/RT
TE
DE
CB/S (Though, these are debatable. This one really depends on what happens with Norman in the longterm, along with Bene. Peanut gives us a solid one-year stopgap. Boston could be good, could be Lester-esque, a one-year wonder.)
P/K/LS

 

What does that mean moving forward? Well, I think the biggest positions that I'm looking forward to watching in 2015/2016 college football, to see if there is any upgrades available, would be to the following positions (definite positions of need):

 

LT
S
CB (If you consider Bene to be a permanent fixture at Nickle instead of CB.)

 

Now, three players at each position I'd love to see us get, and possibly even some others sprinkled in for the maybe position. 

 

LT: 

Ronnie Stanley (LT, Notre Dame)
Laremy Tunsil (LT, Ole Miss)
Jack Conklin (LT, Michigan State)

 

S: 

Von Bell (S, Ohio State)
Tony Conner (S, Ole Miss)
Darian Thompson (S, Boise State)

 

CB: 

Jalen Ramsey (CB, Florida State)
Vernon Hargreaves (CB, Florida)
Kendall Fuller (CD, Va Tech)

Not sure how many picks we have in the 2016 NFL draft or if we're getting any Comp picks, but the way I see it as of now,  we should be looking at, in order: DE, OT, WR, SS, RB, TE. 

Possible Candidates:

Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor

John Theus, OT, Georgia 

Ricky Seals Jones, WR, Texas A&M

RJ Williamson, SS, Michigan St

RB - No idea, honestly.

Jerell Adams, TE, South Carolina

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
