My wishlist in order of preference:

  • Obviously if Samuel is there, keep an eye on him and how often he embarrasses defensive backs.
  • Dean Marlowe, and whether the hype surrounding him is real. Heard a while back some thought he could've been the starter last year had he not been hurt. Curious as to whether he looks stout.
  • How do Bradberry and Worley look out there in comparison to what you saw last year at OTAs?
  • Keep tabs on Shepard and Benjamin
  • Whether Funchess is showing the dominance he did last year in practice or if he just looks meh.
  • Any depth corners or so showing up.

Definitely the safeties.  Especially Marlowe.  I'm just interested in learning more about his skills and abilities.  Was rooting for him before the injury last year.  He seems like a flex type so as things stand, is pretty much our backup at SS and FS.

Blechen would be the other one.  He's being directed towards S over LB which could be interesting.  He was really good at Utah.

Can someone remind me again why CMC isn't here, is it due to his commitment at Stanford? 

Due to completely bogus NCAA regulations and stuff, athletes cannot train or be with their team (with the exception of rookie minicamp) until after their school graduates, even if said athlete is currently not enrolled. 

CMC comes from Stanford, so their graduation is in the middle of June. Even though CMC isn't enrolled, he has to abide by these stupid rules.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
