Winners:

Edwards - possibly the most impressive offensive player on the field not named Steve Smith

Porter - Showed very soft hands and an acrobatic catch on the sideline.

Sutton - First string snaps.

Clausen - Took a lot of snaps with the second string already, has more zip on the ball than anyone else

Losers:

Goodson - Beaten out for the 3rd rb spot

Cantwell - looks like the odd man out already

Kenny Moore - Watch your back, Edwards is closing quick

Things that cannot be assessed while watching minicamp:

run defense

rushing the passer

pass blocking

run blocking

basically anything that requires actual physical contact, as it is not allowed until actual training camp in July.

Yeah, I was pissed we got him at first, because I think Moore earned the job by helping rescue our season last year.

But I got looking at some of his highlights.... the kid can zing the ball, and is scary accurate. He also seems to throw very well on the run. Which is something we've never really had.

His college play looks like a mix between Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Not bad things to see in a guy.

If he can maintain that arm, and get something going with our new regime of receivers... who knows... maybe he'll be our "Tom Brees" and bring that Lombardi home in a few years.

Granted... best case scenario, Moore does it next year... but I'm not putting money on that.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
