After their rookie season draft position has nothing to do with playing time. XL is going to have to fight for it. What I hope is XL has trained all off-season to improve his hands. 

Best thing is XL can only go up. 

He better start the season strong. I like the guy, and I do think he will improve but I would think patience only goes so far on a team that is very serious about winning. 

Coker, Thielen, Renfro. NFL proven Clutch dudes who flat out don’t drop passes and run sick routes. 

TMac: beast

Horn: Watch out

If your boss tells you that you’re doing a pretty decent job but could use some improvement, then over the course of the next few months hires 3 more guys who can do your job, just in case…. Just sayin’

If he hit the jugs machine, X is going to beast. He got open a lot. He just didn't bring it in consistently.

I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL--

How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S. 

I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024.
