I'm a little surprised Nixon was the odd man out but the bottom line is we signed a player at a position lacking depth to play a role that needs shoring up (run defense), while cutting a player at a position where there was already something of a logjam. Maybe it's a little early to give up on a draft pick but at the same time, if you're getting outplayed by players drafted later than you, I don't think you're entitled to a roster spot. Practice squad makes sense, where they can still see if his career can be salvaged without wasting a premier spot on the 53. You'd like to hit on your 5th rounders but the truth of the matter is they rarely get 2nd contracts.

Sounds like Henry anderson is a Morgan Fox type player,but elder.🤔

Im surprised Nixon got cut,but in these preseason games,Hoskins was playing better,so that's fine.

Roy and McCall are 1 tech DT,not the same.

Henry Anderson has 3" and 40 pounds on Morgan Fox, seems like he favors interior moves so I could see some 3-4/3-3-5 stuff with him and YGM/Ioanidis as the DE's, Burns/Luvu/Brandon Smith/Barno/Haynes as OLB rushers

Two starters in a draft is a good draft. If TMJ or Shi comes through, it will be a damned good one.

2 starters is fine out of all those picks? Thats a good draft Thats funny...a huge knock on hurney was that he couldnt hit in the later rounds so therefore i automatically expected more from fitt. If you already CUTTING players a year later instead of jist being buried on deoth chart its never a good sign.

Shi might be the saving grace.  I would agree with you in a standard 7 pick draft or fewer.  We had 11 picks in that draft.  Horn and Chirstensen are looking like the starters.  Tremble remains to be seen.  Taylor is about is get squeezed out of a deep CB room at the end of the depth chart.

The wildcard really is Shi Smith who may be the starting slot WR.

Only 5 of the 11 picks came in the first four rounds. Just because we had 6 picks in the last three rounds doesn’t mean we should expect more than a typical late round value.

Unimpressed.  I'm aware of Anderson and who he is, but I just don't like cutting Nixon.  If he is fully recovered from his injury, I wxpect him to get quickly signed by another team and eventually become a really solid contributor.  In his limited action last season in real games, he was very impressive.  I definitely thought he was better than Hoskins...  but, I don't think we really have heard much from Nixon since coming back, so I guess it's possible he isn't the same after his injury?

Overall, it was a great draft.  Shi has proven he is a starter, and honestly, out if potential, Tremble should be as well.  And I still am really high in Taylor.  I think he is an NFL starter, and a really good one.  But, he's behind two Top 10 picks, a d a guy the staff loves and views as a leader in DJax.  Taylor would be starting if not for that...  I dont think he gets squeezed out.  I think he continues to develop, and by the time Henderson comes up for a new contract, we'll know whether he's the better option or not.  What Fitt has done at CB really reminds me of the Hawks glory days...  they did the same thing.  Drafted and signed so many guys with very similar specific traits, coached them up, developed them, and it was like an embarrassment of riches during the LOB days.

Morgan wasn't as strong against the rush as he was expected to be.

This.

Fox played almost 200 snaps more than YGM but only had 1 FF, 1.5 sack, 34 combined tackled, 2 TFL, and 2 QB Hits.

Yetur, on the other hand, had 1 PD, 1 FF, 3.5 sacks, 28 combined tackles, 5 TFL, and 4 QB Hits.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
