I urge you all not to overlook him at this point just because we drafted Samuel. Curtis was drafted to play slot with some snaps in the backfield, not on the outside. Ginn was mainly a field stretcher on the outside, not in the slot, so we still need to replace his role on the outside and Damiere is definitely still in play here. If anything Samuel is replacing Philly in the slot and Funch's snaps in the slot from last year, not Ginn. Of course we know he's fast at 4.31 but he's not an outside receiver like Damiere or Ginn was. Of course he's just a 3rd year UDFA and we don't even know if he'll ever do anything but I will say don't assume that he'll be an odd man out as a result of this draft.

Byrd will make the roster, like you mentioned he will be replacing Ginn.

Samuel

Funchess (I'd give him this year to really push forward but he has to earn it)

Shepard (He brings more than what some realize, plus, it's a multi-year contract)

--

So, Byrd will have to beat out C. Johnson and Bersin, which could happen.  Or maybe we make some moves post-draft.  

If you would have told me 2 seasons ago that the Vikes fantasy sleeper Johnson was going to be 4th-5th on our depth chart the night after the draft, then I would be excited about the offense's potential.

I also believe CJ2 can fill Ginn's role on the outside

I don't plan on overlooking Byrd because we drafted Samuel.  I plan on overlooking him because last year he had exactly 1 catch more than I did.  Hope he catches on somewhere but the talent on this team is rising and the competition is tough.

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      I think they have totally tied themselves to BY9. Good luck with that.  If Dan can get that defense really stout he may be able to survive an offensive overhaul.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      I think a couple of these will turn out better than a quick first impression might indicate.  Specifically the GB guy. I mean, that team and organization is depleted of talent and kind of headed towards the bottom. But I think the dud has some skills.  Head coach in college, with NFL cred too. Tough situation he is taking on.    And I hate to say, Atlanta.  Stefanski might be unleashed lol. Still has a QB deficit though. He’ll get a ton of owner support I think. Blank badly wants Matt Ryan to succeed.    I was cold on Tennessee but they are requiring Saleh to hire an experienced OC and they have some pieces on defense. It might be a little better than I expected at first. Won’t be great anytime soon though.     Harbaugh is proven and a lot of the NFC East is pretty shaky.    I think Baltimore could have fuged up. They apparently are allowing their QB to rule the roost and that ia really a suspect strategy.  OTOH that QB is very potent on the field and could make a mediocre coach look decent.     I am close to there on Buffalo, as far as did they fug up. I am not real optimistic for them, but could be totally wrong.    Pittsburg is the most interesting because of their incredible hiring success. One of these times it ain’t gonna work out so smooth for them. I mean they are kind of due. Will it be this time?     Arizona? Graveyard.  Las Vegas? Probably the same thing. But they might resurrect NE mojo in the desert. I guess it could happen.
