Would love for us to carry 6 WR's and 4 Safeties. With the amount of CB's we have, and playing Jeremy Cash as another LB, I think we can get by. 

I'm not sure Garrett is the kind of receiver that will last being stashed on our practice squad. I think it depends on how well he does in TC.

At this point, I think that it's a little too early to be labeling any of the new prospects at receiver.  Hell, we don't even know what Funchi's role is going to be with definite clarity.  The development, observation, and progression of these young men individually, and within terms of how they fit within the group, will help winnow out their effective role in the offense.

Speed kills, but so does the inability to catch.

On an off note, Byrd may be the fastest on the team. Having Byrd and Ginn would suffice for our need for speed.

We don't need more speed while having Ginn. Byrd will likely stick on the PS another year while waiting to replace Teddy if we let him go.

You better look up his pro day 40 times bruh... And even if it's a tenth slower, he CAN catch

4.53 vs. 4.36 A .17 difference is a huge difference. And the tape of the two backs up these 40 times. Hill plays so much faster than Garrett it's not even funny. Garrett and Hill probably aren't even competing with each other for a spot. Garrett with Philly, Bersin, Norwood, etc. and Hill with Ginn and Byrd. And while I'm certainly excited about Garrett it's pretty unlikely he makes the roster, unless we keep 6.

Hell, the way Rivera seemingly does things, I wouldn't be surprised if the status quo remains after all is said and done. @Jeremy Igo's roster projection is about as conservative as they come. It's safe, and it's very Rivera-esque, and just may be what it's going to be. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.  

With my perhaps cynical-colored glasses on, I can say with a straight face that training camp is going to tell the tale of the tape which will be juxtaposed against Rivera's notions of loyalty and next-man-up ideology, and not even the preseason games or anything else will change what is a seeming formality.

Byrd, Garrett, Cox, Marlowe or whoever is going to have to make Rivera and company give them a roster spot by balling out.

Note: Only 5 receivers are kept as the depth here is outstanding compared to other positions. This unit is 1000% improved over the unit only two seasons ago. Stephen Hill is the x-factor here with both size and speed. The Panthers remain convinced of his potential.

How good of a route runner and *Catcher is Hill. IMO Garrett is a better option.

Colin Jones counts as a safety/nickel as noted. 

 

Other than that, very very thin, depth needed. 

IMO we will either keep a extra FB or HB/TE along with our regular TE to help the OTs unless we have upgrade at OT. There is a reason for the competition at HB/TE.

2 Sleepers for HB/TE role Bonnet & Devon Johnson

      I’m worried SC’s lack of OL is going to prevent Sellers from taking the next steps progressing as a passer.

      Wild week 0 + 1 but not as crazy as we have seen before imo Kansas St put up a fight, albeit an ugly one against Iowa State only to turn around and barely survive against North Dakota. Looks like this Florida State team might be more like the ACC winners than the 2-win squad from last season. Bama still looks competitive but FSU clearly wanted it more. Frank Reich and Mike Shula are still dumpster fire coaches, but it is fun remembering the 2015 Panthers watching Shula call plays for LaNorris. Speaking of... as much as it pains me to say it, South Carolina looks better than Clemson at the moment. South Florida's thumping of Boise State put to bed any postseason playoff drama for the Broncos.  Tarleton State over Army in 2OT!? Navy is going to smoke them this season. Looks like Wake Forest's strategy of recruiting older players with leftover COVID eligibility to play while pursuing their graduate degree has run its course after barely holding on 10-9 vs Kennesaw State. I've got a few friends from ATL that went there and they were lighting up social media. 😂 Close games for GT/Colorado, LSU/Clemson, and Texas/Ohio State. Nussmeier looked like the better prospect between him, Arch, and Cade. Drew Allar and LaNorris also looked really good. The QB class this season is going to be fun to watch. Tulane whooping up on Northwestern surprised me. Not that the latter is a powerhouse but I wouldn't have bet on that score. Going to be an interesting team to keep an eye on. I thought Kentucky would have ran the score up on Toledo, not keep it within one score.

      The Browns are the Browns. We aren't really in a position to judge though to say the least. But trying to bash them for actually attempting to bring competition to the most consequential position on the field is certainly a take.
