Big Vern is improving...

Quick look at him battling Chris Scott in a run stopping drill. 

This is a HUGE improvement for him from just over a week ago. Good push, good penetration, even against a huge guy like Scott. Vernon is starting to look like he may help keep the middle of the DL from getting winded early from stopping the run. Should lead to fewer games with those 4th quarter lapses in defense.

I would like to see how he is faring against Trai & Norwell. 

Low man wins.

This is great news.  If Butler can give us quality reps, then this line will be scary deep.  Rotating Star, Short, Butler, and Solelai (spelling?) will be just amazing.  

I love the point you made about avoiding 4th quarter collapses...another reason why I think we have to re-sign Short regardless of how Butler performs.

I wouldn't expect any lineman to look very good on their first few days of camp. There is just so much technique that the guys who have been there before have to go on.  Technique is what the NFL coaches are their to refine.

It will be fun to watch him progress.

So calls of his being a bust based on his first couple of NFL practices in pads were, perhaps, too hasty? Inconceivable.

It was like one or two reps of drills where he looked beat. The ones he looked good in weren't even mentioned.

No, still a bust but now he also the comeback player of the year. All that in a week. Amazing!

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
