I took a peek at the roster, and thought I would share:

CHECK THESE POSITIONS OFF THE LIST:

  • Safety  (Boston, Reid, Burris---Burris could be a nickel CB--not sure)
  • Defensive End  (Burns, C. Smith, Weatherly, Miller, Obada)
  • Offensive Tackle (Moton, Daley, Little, Okung) 
  • Center:  Paradis, Larsen (I think we will upgrade C, but not this year due to contracts)
  • Tight End:  Thomas, Manhertz, and Hemmingway (I think Hemmingway will make the roster--good player)
  • Running Back: McCaffrey, Scarlett, Bonnefon, Davis
  • Fullback: Armah (will Brady use a FB?)
  • Quarterback:  Bridgewater, Allen, Grier (do not be surprised if we take a developmental QB , like Morgan FIU)

NEED TO ADDRESS:

  • Linebacker:  Carter (OLB), Smith (MLB), Thompson (OLB/ILB), Kunaszyk (MLB)
  • Wide Receiver: Moore, Samuel, Zylstra--- Zylsytra is a solid possession WR and should be the #4 after the draft)
  • Defensive Tackles: KK Short (3t), Stacy McGee (1 tech)
  • Cornerback:  Jackson (Elder, Luke on roster--could Burris be the nickel?) 
  • Guard:  (Nobody):  You have to think Daley and maybe Little here---but it is a need.

DRAFT PRIORITIES:  (Prediction of round taken, if a player of value is on board)

1. Cornerback:  Even if Burris goes to Nickel, Jackson and a bunch of PS players? (round 1)

2. Defensive Tackle:  It takes four, and we need 3. (round 2)

3. Guard:  We don't have any unless we move a tackle into the job and re-sign GVR or another free agent.  (free agent and round 5)

4. Wide Receiver:  We need a #1/2, move Sameul to the slot, and keep Zylstra as the #4 possession WR.  (Round 3--in this draft, you get second-round value)

5. Linebacker:  While I am high on Kunaszyk, he may not be the guy at MLB--I do not think Shaq is a MLB.  (round 4)

 

Potential first round picks:  LB Simmons,  DT Brown,  WR Jeudy,  CB Okudah

We'll be running a base 4-3 but given what was deployed at Baylor and that we have Miller, Haynes and Burns, the Flex EDGE talent at DE is going to be used in hybrid looks.  Having Edge rusher talent v. a true 3 down DE is an important distinction.  Weatherly and Burns is nice but imagine a guy like Green-Matos in there as well. 

LB wise, Shaq, Carter Jr. are the only two I trust starting. 

Offensively, still need an LG, C, RG, WR (probably 2)

Good news is we're still set to tank :)

And yes, GM as well.  I find Tepper and Rhule working together on this concoction isn't the most ideal scenario.  Seems like we could get a Jones-Garrett thing brewing here.  Ahz!

My concern is that I think Tepper is all in on Rhule right now. I'm not sure he sees a need for a strong GM at the moment. Maybe this pending PR nightmare about how the Cam situation was handled will be the wake up call he needed. Maybe it'll be going 3-13 this coming season. Maybe it'll take another season contending for a top 5 pick again after that.

It's just very obvious at this point that this organization severely lacks in quality NFL experience from the owner to the GM to the coaching staff to everyone else in the building because even the media guys have walked. The whole organization is learning on the job right now and I'm pretty much certain we're going to see that when the games start too.

Given how awesome our social media typically is, kinda bewildered by the past month, virus or not. 

I don't mind the direction personnel wise, at all, it's been expected.  The dynamics and optics of it all tell me they've got this Tepper-Rhule thing growing with their little boy scout Hurney.  It's weird. Weeird.

Tepper is smitten with Rhule and Rhule probably knows he has a nice patsy in Hurney. He'll fight to keep him because he can control him because Hurney is just tickled pink to be back in an NFL front office. After the rest of the league wouldn't return his phone calls for years he likely thought this opportunity would never come around again and then when JR was forced to sell I'm sure he thought he'd be out on his ass. He'll be more than happy to be Rhule's rubber stamp.

Couldn’t be more true

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
