Frank Alexander is a player who really intrigues me, mostly because we saw enough in him to give next year's 3rd rounder.

Josh Norman has also caught my attention, especaily for a 5th round pick. Don't have much evidence other than his d2 highlights, scouting reports,good mini camp reports, and lack of competetion at the # 2 corner to support my feelings but for some reason I feel strongly that he will emerge as the # 2 corner by the start of the season.

Returning Players

Gary Barnidge- I am rooting for this guy because of the how much we used 2 tight ends last year and Shockey being absent. He has flashed in camp before but am strongly hoping he can take it a step further this time

Fua/Mcclain- I am really hoping one of these 2 really steps it up this year and my money is on Fua based of rewatching every game and paying close attention the d-line the 2nd time around.

Obviously theres many more but didn't want to get too carried away and wanted to leave some for you guys as well.

Barnidge - Olsen is a given receiving threat...Barnidge is quite fast for a TE and is definitely on my radar and he should step it up. I think he could get 25+ receptions this year

McClain & Kearse...not Fua because I'm thinking he'll be Ron's backup at NT for now

Keiser, Applewhite, & Alexander - I want to see who jumps ahead within the group behind Johnson & Hardy

Ninja Nakamura - dethrone Martin please

Lamont Bryant - muy interesante

Every year I pick one or two undrafted guys that I take a special interest in and hope they make the team. Last year it was Byron Bell and this year it is Lamont Bryant. If he doesn't make the active roster I hope he makes the practice squad. Then again I liked Taye Bittle a few years back and he went nowhere. Sure these guys are longshots to make the team but who knows stranger things have happened.

Lamont Bryant for sure.

Murphy vs. Gettis, the battle two injured burners with young promising careers.

Reggie Smith, Haruki Nakamura.

Justin Medlock.

Bruce Campbell.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually really intrigued by Nortman punting the ball and Adams fielding punts.

Really excited about Pilares development. 89 is singing his praises a little, so hopefully he can be a secret weapon.

Tolbert's role in our offense has me very interested as well.

Yeah, as they probably won't make the roster, I'm really hoping we keep Lamont Bryant and Jared Green on the practice squad. There's some definite potential there in terms of their size and speed, respectively.

In terms of camp, I think I'm most curious about how our Safety position pans out, with CB2 being a close second. If we see improvements in either the front or back end of our defense (we already know the middle will be stout), then I think our D will be vastly improved.

CBs- Norman and Hogan (as most of you know, Norman looked surprisingly good earlier, while Hogan didn't look great)

WR- Joe Adams, Louis Murphy, and David Gettis

DE- Greg Hardy and Frank Alexander

FS- someone has to start here right?

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
