Wes was a consistently solid depth piece who also flashed and came up big at times. Ton of appreciation for what he did in his time here, it’s players like him that you need to field a Super Bowl contender, to support the superstars and have cost effective contributions that aren’t sexy but can be the “glue.” Have fun in retirement big guy.

Undrafted--we got a lot out of him.  If I were Wes, I would be proud.  So you second shift waffle house parking lot sweepers should understand that not everyone in life achieves the lofty status you have acquired.  Know when to tip a hat and shut up once in a while.  Jeez.

Can lay on his ass for the rest of his life at 30 years old because he was a below average NFL lineman

Posting on a discussion board is much easier than what he did, and you are below average.

Congrats to Wes. To even make an NFL roster you must have greater athletic gifts than 99% of the population, but within that select company even fewer are blessed with the gifts needed to be a star, a Pro Bowler, or even a multi year starter. The rest is a product of effort and determination. To be an UDFA and earn a 7 year career in the league is to get the absolute maximum out of the gifts you were born with.

My hats off to Wes and my sincere thanks for everything he brought to the team in his time here. I wish him luck in his future endeavors fully confident that people who have shown such effort and determination over a sustained period rarely need it. They usually do just fine for themselves one way or another.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
