Meh, part of the fun of camp and preseason is seeing which of the long shots will actually make it. Everybody likes a good underdog story.

Yeah but the investment level by some of these guys is completely insane.

Every year it is the same thing, predictions that "XYZ" UDFA is going to be a starter, All Pro, HOFer, etc.

The odds are astronomical for most of those scenarios.

It’s also not…

He had 9 in 2021 (13 games played) and 4 in 2022 (5 games played).

He played 12 games in 2021 when he had 7. He played 5 games in 2022 and had 2. 
That’s 9 in 17 games. Or 13 in 25 games if counting the 2020 8 games.

Watched this guy for two years. He was a plus SEC player. Paired well with Derrick Hall. I think he has a real chance to stick on the roster. 

Same page--if you look at my mocks, I had the Panthers taking him as an UDFA every time.  He has a decent chance of sticking on the roster, an almost guaranteed chance of making the PS.

That’s incorrect.

He definitely played 13 games in 2021 and 5 in 2021. Auburn’s official stats confirm it.

Defensive stats at the college level are also recorded by the team and are unofficial. As someone who recorded defensive stats for a college football program and I have a lot of knowledge about how it works. When PFF reviewed film and recorded their stats, they likely gave half sacks on certain plays which made up the difference. Overall, defensive stats at the college level are very subjective. Additionally, you can have scenarios where one individual gives a TFL because they think it’s a designed run and another gives a sack because they think it’s a scramble.

To me, I just see them moving YGM to a 4-3 team--not sure he is a fit now. If that is the case, a strong OLB with Johnson could be in the cards--however, I see PS all over him for now.

The players I think have the best chance of making the active roster?  Wright (CB) and maybe Peoples (RB) right now.

    • The best part is they compliment each other. Chuba is a more patient runner, patiently waiting for gaps to form while Rico is more explosive. I wish they would use Rico more like McCaffery was used - getting him the ball in space to take advantage of his explosivness and violence. Then have Chuba pound the middle for the tough yards.
    • I loved those late 90s-early 2000s Miami teams.  If McGahee hadn’t had that injury, he would probably have been a Top 10 all-time rusher, no doubt in my mind.  The fact he didn’t lose his leg below the knee is still a miracle.  And the fact he came back from that, made it in the NFL, and still carved out a career that included over 8k yards rushing and two pro bowls is damn impressive.  It just demonstrates how good he would have been had he never had the injury.  Prior to that, he was like nothing I had ever seen.  Like a bigger, more physical and elusive Reggie Bush.
    • Boozer may end up going higher in the draft, but agree about Caleb Wilson. Give me that dude, think he's going to translate very well and has the attitude I want on a young team.  My perfect world as of now... Trade anything not bolted down as far as vet's go. Sexton is on an expiring and would be an easy flip. Bridges, just get him somewhere else. One year left on a low $20 mil deal should be an easy trade...but the apron for many teams could haunt us.  LaMelo is the issue. Likely would have to trade our problem to someone else for their problem (Ja, Zion, Zach Lavine) to make contracts somewhat match up.  I want to build around last year's draft class, get as many bites at this draft class as possible, etc. If we get lucky and get #1 or #2, wonderful. If not, get into the top 5 or so and grab Caleb Wilson.
