I feel like a late round pick if anything.  He might just get released honestly...

He's consistently graded well at 4-3 DE in run defense but just didn't have the pass rush skill that was teased in college.  

Elsewhere, damn am I happy we've got Thielen.  This guy is going to be superb for a very young offensive skill unit.

Thielen is going to help TMJ take the next step IMO.  He is like having another coach on the field to help develop players.

He had around a 50 pff grade last year in a 3-4 and Frank is already concerned about his transition to OLB...I don't see him getting playing time over Haynes/Luvu/Barno.

Haynes really has a chance to break out if we don't go EDGE in R2. 

There's a huge opportunity for him to flourish and show why he was the all-time SEC sack leader until this Will Anderson came along. He's progressed every season and I'm rooting for him hard.

Man, if Thielen, Chark & TMJ are cruising along, finding a shifty slot may be the perfect fit to round out the WR room.  We've suddenly got a tall & quick WR room, could use a better option than Shi or Byrd.  And this draft is full of them...

Scott, Dell, Reed, Jones all super viable in this department.

Same. He’s finally in position. Excited for him and Barno, even if we take edge. Lack of athletic traits won’t be the reason for it not working out.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
