Early Depth Chart Check - How We Look on Paper


SetfreexX

Recommended Posts

Offense

 

                  Moore       (Moton / GVR / Paradis / Turner / Williams)  Olsen     Wright     Samuel

Newton / McCaffrey

 

------------------------------------------------------------

Defense (3-4)

Bradberry     (Butler / Poe / Short)     Jackson 

Irvin / Kuechly /Thompson / Addison

Reid / Searcy

 

 

Key depth on the roster already: 

Offense - Smith / Thomas / Manhertz / Larsen 

Defense - Obada / Cox Jr / Gaulden / Elder / Carter Jr. 

Depth returning from IR: Cockrell / Seymour / Smith (ILB)

Depth Needs:

HB / OL / Edge / DT / S

Positions in this color I see as the obvious choices for early upgrades and/or depth**

I have to say gentlemen if I'm just looking at starters right now (barring health) I'd have to say we look to be in pretty good shape as we still are early in the off-season, and approaching the draft. 

I am very interested in seeing how some of the 3-4 looks might translate (which is why I posted that specific group to show the assumptive personnel based on the current roster). 

Whether we add DL then OL in the 1st or vice versa along with the current 2 3rd round selections we could see some starting positions upgraded, as well as some quality depth added if we get the picks right. 

Another month until the draft, I can't wait!

I know we really value Larsen's versatility as a backup because he can fill in any of the three interior OL spots but I also think you have to play your best five OL and I can't be convinced that GVR is better than Larsen. If we sign or draft an upgrade at LG, then keep Larsen in that versatile backup spot but of we don't then play him at LG and if an injury forces an OL reshuffle then it is what it is, but don't wait for an injury to force you to play a better player.

What? This looks like one of the worst teams we have had on paper in a few years.

Drafting a Guard if a good one is there in any round would be good choice. Even round one although it wouldn't be my first choice because Newton with time and weapons will win games.

We are still going to play a 4/3 defense guys.. I don't understand why some of you think the 3/4 will be our base defense.. Shouldn't you have a 4/3 alignment shown??

Yeah we just need more guys that can play both so we can do our 3-4 formation more often. It's not going to be our main look.

Just not a big fan of using 1st round picks on interior OL. Especially when we have huge needs at pass rusher and DL and this is quite possibly the best pass rusher and DL draft ever. Using a 1st rounder on an OG this year would feel like a huge waste of an opportunity.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
