Jessie Bates III


Untouchable

Recommended Posts

I mentioned this over in the draft board but I'll also post it here.  Rumors going around that we have been taking serious interest in the Wake Forest safety.  Keep the name filed away in the back of your mind as he could be a target around our 3rd rounders.  Some links below to the rumors and to get acquainted with him:

Good stuff. Honestly I wouldn't be against double dipping with Harrison or James early for SS and then Bates for FS with one of our thirds.

Me neither. We've neglected the safety position for the majority of this franchise's history.

The young corners took a lot of heat last season and honestly they didn't play well, but they didn't have any help on the back end either.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
