Dave Canales says rookie TE Ja'Tavion Sanders will start vs. the Saints. Points out he's been practicing with the 1's for a while, so excited to see Sanders and Jordan Matthews on the field.

If he looks good, I imagine he could stick moving forward.  

Looks like it's Sanders in 11, Sanders-Matthews in 12 personnel.  

And I mean, he looked good in preseason.  Passed the eye test.  Don't forget, he produced super well in a loaded receiving room with Worthy, AD Mitchell, & Wittingham. 

Exciting to see; this is the opposite of what we're used to with a rookie being given a big shot from the onset.

Our third and fourth rounders could prove to be the strength of this draft. Hope not-but if our first two picks reach their potential, it could be the first layer of the foundation.

And the best running back in college football--of course, if you defend the 3 WRs and focus on Brooks, his success could have been because he was not the first, second, third, or fourth concern.  We shall see.

Idk if this is going to work but just seeing a young promising TE getting the starting nod immediately is a breath of fresh air from previous years. Folks who were here for Rivera know what I mean.

Also I think this situation points toward a lot of upcoming involvement from Legette maybe not game 1 but definitely as the first stretch of the season progresses.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
