Probably a large portion of this group will be gone by training camp. The WRs are interesting to me because we brought in so many and our production other than DJ was not ideal. I think adding Roberts as a Returner also eats one of those spots so it'll be interesting to see if any of them can stick. An uphill battle for any of these guys.

Of the rest I liked the big OLB that we have listed as a DT (Jacob T-M). He seems like another chess piece that may be able to fill a role. His ability to play on ST's will also help him. ..but will it be enough to beat out Haynes or Luvu for playing time behind YGM.

The true Nose from Kentucky is interesting to me as well.

I think the Bravvion Roy experiment should come to an end, he's not tall or long enough to really do anything. Can't pass rush, can't get his t-rex arms on guys in the run. Nixon is obviously better and I'd rather the extra spot be taken up by a true fat boy for short yardage/special teams stuff

I don't think it's because he's a Rhule guy, I think it's because he's been good depth. I don't know what people expect. I haven't heard his name called for anything bad, but have seen him impact a few plays.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
