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.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
