With Thomas Keiser cut, this now becomes an issue, especially with the staff's new focus on D-Linemen rotation. Of course, this is assuming that Johnson, Hardy and Alexander are locks for three of the roster spots, which is a pretty safe assumption.

 

So who do you think it will be? Do we have some yet to be developed talent on our roster, or are we going to have to pick up a free agent? If we go FA, are we looking for a gem on someone else's roster who gets cut due to depth, like Dwan last year, or a vet we can pick up for the minimum who can guide a still young Hardy and Alexander?

 

What say you?

Just did a little research on Wes Horton...

 

He was the 40th ranked player in the nation (rivals), but was only recruited by Pac 12 schools (then Pac 10). 

 

He started as a redshirt freshman and played well, but got injured his sophomore season and never really got his entire game back together. 

 

All together, he has good height and decent speed. He doesn't get off the line particularly fast but shed's blockers quite well due to his good hands.

 

I checked Horton's career stats and had 117 tackles, 14.5 sacks, and 18 tackles for a loss (not too shabby).

 

NFL.com compared him to Austen Lane...

    • And its two fold from there, we knew we were going to stink next year, we knew he wasnt going to play right away and we knew the 2025 rb class was absolutely fuging loaded.  So none of it made a lick of sense
    • Here for the lively debate but don’t devolve into “you don’t know the game” stuff. ..with that PSA over, I lean more to the it was a mistake camp myself.  It wasn’t a good move. Many people reference Frazier but it is was a few guys. I thought Sainristil would have been perfect for us. Although I will say, I don’t mind taking RBs high depending on the talent. It was him being injured and his talent relative to the other RBs in his tier that makes me less than thrilled about it. 
    • If you're insinuating Bryce Young is the only player people here have been critical of we don't even need to discuss any further because folks who have actually seen the threads knows that's factually incorrect. That's the issue and where the disconnect begins. You perceive an honest assessment and basic straightforward acknowledgment that while we can like the player on a personal level ultimately the pick was a mistake given what we know now and the other prospects that were available. None of that is the personal slight you perceive it to be. Honest discussion is not doom and gloom. If someone wants to reject the reality that is front of them in favor of another that is more convenient for their POV that is certainly their prerogative. What I'm trying to tell you is you are never going to find the dialogue you seek as long as this is your basis for the framework of discussion about our team. I'm not asking you to leave. I do believe you bring legitimate value here. I'm simply offering you an alternative if you insist on rolling out this same approach when the season rolls out. Because although optimism is high right now sooner or later we might hit a bump in the road. And conversations will likely get the opposite of glowing positivity. But that's alright. That's the rollercoaster of sports fandom. We'll survive.
