i could see some competition for a backup safety spot

"My agent said I had a choice to go to one of three teams," Scirrotto said. "With Carolina, it was just the best opportunity, and it just fit me right.

"The biggest thing is where you think you'll have the best opportunity to make the 53-man roster. I knew that they had veteran safeties. The backup opportunity is there, but I'm going to play everywhere they want me -- special teams, I can run down the field and tackle, catch punts, do whatever they ask."

the dude is going to be a workhorse jack of all trades.

i don't see him being starting caliber but i do see him being one of those guys who is very solid everytime and in every situation he is called on.

I think the kid's got potential to stick also. I personally would'nt mind if he supplanted Nate Salley. I like Salley's ability to lay the wood, but his aggressiveness has caused unnecessary injuries to our own players i.e. Steve Smith and Ryne Robinson the last two minicamps and we really can't afford to lose too many contributors on the team due to TC. Add to this, Salley's a liability in coverage and limited to special teams, and Scirrotto may be an upgrade there as a backup safety and special teams player.

Im not sold on the kid yet, watching a lot of Penn State games (Big Ten network on local cable package) they showed alot of their games and just wasn't impressed by the kid. He never gave up but was not very good of providing cover support in the pass but if he is going to be used to special teams he may do alright...idk

Playing devils advocate...

We are quickly running out of roster spots and it seems like all of our UDFA are going to make the team based on comments on this board. I hope all these guys were just overlooked and are true finds but reality says that only 1 or 2 have a legitimate shot at sticking. I think in his best case, he is an UDFA rookie who will be competing with Joe Fields for a roster spot. (an UDFA on the practice squad).

Hope I am wrong but I doubt it.

and miller is gone..but things i have read on ivy says he is slow..and that wont help him in a meeks def.plus i think connor will be the backup to both spots

i dont think hayden makes the team

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
