I think Wright was cut.  I think they like Jensen and he could take McCray's job since Mays can play all 3 interior line spots--that is going to be interesting.  Rowe?  I think he is gone.  Franklin seemed to play well and they are going to keep Jammie.

I know Jammie was comped to Honey Badger coming out, but tbh, most of the clips I saw of him and then the limited snaps I saw of him in the preseason, I just didn't see it, or much of anything else.  Didn't flash much, IMO.  But, draft picks, if they show any promise, tend to get a little more consideration, at least in their rookie year, so I'm not sure how that will work.

I honestly think Rowe has a good chance to make it bc he has more size and is proven versatile, even though he had a few bad plays in the preseason.  IIRC, we signed him pretty early in FA too, so they must've thought pretty highly of him even on a 1 yr deal, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut either, so I just said a whole lot of nothing lol.

Franklin is a lock.

And I'm pretty certain Mays and Jensen make it.

anyone who said that is an absolute fool

He was a liability at SCar. I didn't follow him at FSU but what he's shown this preseason is exactly what I remember seeing as a Gamecock. He's all bark no bite.

I’d be pretty disappointed if Brandon Smith gets cut. I think he has potential. As for the others, we’d never know they were gone. 

It'd hard to find guys at his size with his traits, but considering that he just doesn't seem to show up much.  I think it's telling how early we saw Barno in games and how late Brandon Smith ended up in there most of the time.

Weirdly enough, I thought Smith looked good when given the opportunities last season, but whenever I saw him this preseason, he seemed to get "out-physicaled."

I dont want to write him off yet, but I agree...  I didn't see much of him in college, just the draft profile and then "highlights" and such, and I just felt way underwhelmed.  Then in the games he was all but invisible most of the time.

And the Mathieu comps were on the draft profiles I think on ESPN or NFLN, and when I first heard it, I was thinking w head a steal, and then I saw his film and was like, "wtf were they looking at?"😂  I think most of it came from the size and versatility, but I didn't see it in the physicality or ability at all.

The lack of effort has been the most concerning to me. Maybe he's thinking too much and not playing fast, but the early returns are pretty bad even for a late rounder.

He laid the wood multiple times this preseason. Good special teamer too. 
 

Now if he was getting out physicalled by linemen, he may just be terrible shedding blocks. No matter how great his size is for LB, a 320lb man will still make him look silly if they get their hands on him.

Was he actually serious? I thought maybe he accidentally typed in Young’s name. Didn’t bother going back for any context.

Oh he's definitely serious...he's been very vocally anti-Young so I'm sure anything short of League MVP + OROY + Super Bowl MVP his rookie season will have him believing we took the wrong guy.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
