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.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
