You want to see some lowlights?  Checkout Sanchez vs Oklahoma State last year.  OU beat the Hell of them, but he was the weak link that night for sure.  

Sanchez is great for reading the QB's eyes, but besides that he's just average in my personal opinion.

It was a love/hate relationship at OU for a lot of their fans.

Sanchez is a guy who I think Gettleman rolled the dice on.  He's a boom or bust type of prospect IMO.  We probably really liked his ball hawking abilities and ability to create turnovers.  Honestly, that's about the only thing there is to like.  He isn't a great cover guy and he's too small to be physical near the LOS.  We'll probably treat his rookie year kind of like a college redshirt year.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him not even active most weeks.  If he hasn't shown significant development by training camp next year, we'll probably just chalk it up as a gamble that didn't pay off.

"The New England Patriots announced that they have released DB Leonard Johnson.  

Johnson, 25, was signed by New England to the 53-man roster on Dec. 9, 2015 after being released from Tampa Bay’s injured reserve list on Dec. 3, 2015. The 5-foot-10, 202-pounder, appeared in four regular-season games with three starts for the Patriots in 2015 and registered seven tackles and three passes defensed. Johnson was active, but did not play in either postseason contest. Read
Johnson originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Tampa Bay out of Iowa State in 2012. He has played in 52 NFL games with 20 starts and has registered 146 total tackles, five interceptions for 128 yards with two touchdowns, 23 passes defensed, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and nine special teams tackles." http://www.patriots.com/news/2016/02/17/patriots-release-db-leonard-johnson

He should be well rested after last season.

You know you're in offseason mode when you read a thread titled "Carolina Panthers sign corner" and you open it fully expecting a picture of some kind of Carolina Panthers sign on a street corner.

Good signing though.  I always trust Gettleman's journeyman DB signings to be guys that have a lot of upside and could thrive in our system.  I expect the same is true for this guy.

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
