Rashaan Gaulden Deserves Some Props

He had a very solid night tonight.  Maybe with the signing of Tre Boston, he doesn't feel the pressure of being a square peg trying to pushed in a round hole (even though he was lined up at safety on some of his nice plays).

Regardless, he looks like he can be an impact player, which is something few were expecting after last year.  In fact, he seemed to outplay Boston tonight by some margin.  

I'm hoping our overall depth at both safety and cornerback is going to be a pleasant surprise this year.

I'm hoping with this Front 7 we just need safeties who aren't liabilities

It would have to be really good. I hope our secondary holds their own this year. Need both units to play if we want turnovers.

Gaulden looked like he was doing everything he could to earn a roster spot. That's a really good sign. He has the physical skills and is a really smart guy, if he can keep that willingness going through the grind of the next three weeks, he's got a shot.

And Boston... I know this was just his third time in pads with us so far, but he sure was making some "business decisions" on some of those plays. I hope he's willing to be more physical once the season starts.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
