@Kirby Jackson so our differences are You have Barkley. Fair enough. Certainly plausible. My biggest struggle was eliminating the vet from the QB room. WR: you've got McKenzie and Duke, I've got Hodgins. I think Hodgins represents an upgrade over Duke. He has very similar strengths and weaknesses, but I think he has better hands. I found McKenzie expendable because Diggs and Brown can fill the gadget role, and more deceptively because they're usually on the field. IOL: you've got Long, I've got Boettger and Bates. When Morse went down it was Feliciano who filled in best. Maybe Long is better than Boettger at G. I think they want Bates as that final fallback across the entire OL. S: you cut Marlowe to make room for the extra player on O. I guess that's possible, especially if Norman can fill in as Safety depth. CB: you've got Jackson over EJ Gaines and Cam Lewis. That high on Jackson? Gaines is an injury risk, but I think he pushed Jackson to the PS until the injury hits. All in all, I can see cutting one of the OL to retain Barkley more than one of the D. Maybe Boettger. WR will be fun to watch develop. You may be closer to correct with the vets due to the offseason question marks.

Here's my go. I'm sure I'll catch heat for a couple of these. QB (2): Josh Allen, Jake Fromm RB (4): Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, TJ Yeldon, Taiwan Jones FB (1): Patrick DiMarco WR (6): Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley, Isaiah Hodgins, Gabriel Davis, Andre Roberts TE (3): Dawson Knox, Tyler Kroft, Lee Smith OT (4): Dion Dawkins, Ty Nsekhe, Cody Ford, Darryl Williams IOL (5): Quinton Spain, Jon Feliciano, Mitch Morse, Ryan Bates, Ike Boettger Offense: 25 DT (5): Ed Oliver, Star Lotulelei, Quinton Jefferson, Vernon Butler, Harrison Phillips DE (4): Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison, AJ Epenesa, Trent Murphy OLB (4): Matt Milano, AJ Klein, Vosean Joseph, Corey Thompson ILB (2): Tremaine Edmunds, Tyler Matakevich S (5): Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Siran Neal, Dean Marlowe, Jaquan Johnson CB (5): Tre'Davious White, Levi Wallace, Taron Johnson, Josh Norman, EJ Gaines Defense: 25 LS: Reid Ferguson K: Tyler Bass P: Corey Bojorquez Special Teams: 3 Practice Squad: Davis Webb (QB), Christian Wade (RB), Ray-Ray McCloud (WR), Tommy Sweeney (TE), Trey Adams (OT), Marquel Harrell (OL), Darryl Johnson (DE), Tyrel Dodson (OLB), Josh Thomas (DB), Dane Jackson (CB), Ike Brown (CB) Notable Cuts: Matt Barkley, Robert Foster, Duke Williams, Spencer Long, Cam Lewis, Stephen Hauschka It is possible that they trim one RB to keep Barkley. I think it's equally likely that we sign Chris Thompson and cut Yeldon. There's a chance that we think Diggs or Brown can handle the end around and gadget plays, which is why I'd cut McKenzie and have both rookies on the 53. Also, we are going to see some cap casualties, so this is likely the worst 53 we would see.

Prevents it from being abused too. Calling up the same player every week draws attention and risks exposure. What I don't know is whether they must return to PS. Like say we call up Hodgins and he has 7 catches for 104 yards and 2 TDs. Can we cut McKenzie and keep him active?

You call them up from PS for the day and then they return to the PS. They are protected while returning twice. After the second use the player is exposed to waivers before returning to the PS. @GunnerBill

Well Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Love, and Hurts seems like 5 QBs in the first 2 rounds. Thomas, Wills, Becton, Wirfs, Jackson, Wilson, and Cleveland makes 7 OTs. Ruggs, Jeudy, Lamb, Reagor, J Jefferson, Aiyuk, Higgins, Pittman, Shenault, Hamler, Claypool, V Jefferson, and Mims makes 13 WR. Not sure how much it changes things, but it helps to have correct numbers. I also dislike the round 2 cutoff. Seems arbitrarily chosen to meet your result. Sticking to round 1 players changes this dramatically (1 rb vs 6), and I would wager including round 3 would as well.

Kind of reminds me of when the Pats grabbed Cannon while he was recovering from lymphoma.

It's a staple of the 2 minute offense to move the chains and stop the clock. It's also an area of the field that the Defense has to cover. If you were to remove it entirely your offense is easier to defend. The Peterman throws were mind boggling. IDK if he decided to throw them or if the OC called the plays, but he simply can't do it. I do not think that's true of Fromm, but I suppose we will see.

Deep balls aren't really the indicator of NFL arm strength. The question is whether he can throw a 12 yard out fast enough to not get jumped for a pick 6. It's a valid question, and I believe he's on the fringe. There are many QB's who have gained arm strength after getting into the league. That's why I bump his ceiling up to a Cousins type. If he can gain that ball velocity he could be a gem.

I think he comes in a Colt McCoy/Chase Daniel type, but I see a Cousins-like ceiling.

Like this. Good value, solid production

If we could get someone to bump DiMarco off the roster It'd be just fine. Jared Pinkney maybe? Bryant or Moss would be fine too.

Cool.

Sorry, fell asleep after turning off the tv coverage because it was crap lol. Original post is updated with strikethroughs. Real happy to see my man Huntley go, just wish it was to us! CB: Madre Harper, Southern Illinois (Rd6-7) WR: James Proche, SMU (Rd5-6) LB: David Woodward, Utah State (Rd5-6) Francis Bernard, Utah (Rd5-7) Michael Divinity, LSU (Rd6-7) TE: Hunter Byrant, Washington (Rd4) S: JR Reed, Georgia (Rd5-6) James Wiggins, Cincinnati (Rd6-UDFA) OT: Trey Adams, Washington (Rd5-6) RB: Darius Anderson, TCU (Rd5-7)

Trend continues. Solid contributor, not flashy. Surprising to me because he doesn't separate well, but he's a good player.

Not great at separation, but I do like it.

Collin Johnson 6'6" and a good route runner. Loves to learn Gandy-Golden has typical size Peoples-Jones has good potential

I mocked that, but in the 2nd round. Does that count?!?

Levi Wallace was a UDFA. Josh Norman was a 5th rounder. You can definitely get a guy today and McBeane has identified them before.

The Vineyards are great!

Sutton, Jeudy, Hamler, Fant, Albert O, Melvin Gordon, and Phillip Lindsay. Freaking nutso.

I'm tracking that throughout.

Yes, and beyond!

Hyphen dream is dying quickly.

Guys I'm monitoring for us today: CB: Reggie Robinson II, Tulsa (Rd4-5) Tory Pride, Notre Dame (Rd4-5) Harrison Hand, Temple (Rd5-6) John Reid, Penn State (Rd5-6) Madre Harper, Southern Illinois (Rd6-7) Kindle Vildor, Georgia Southern (Rd6-7) WR: Collin Johnson, Texas (Rd4-5) Antonio Gandy-Golden (Rd4-5) James Proche, SMU (Rd5-6) John Hightower, Boise State (Rd5-6) KJ Osborne, Miami (Rd6-7) LB: Akeem Davis-Gaither, App State (Rd4) Troy Dye, Oregon (Rd4-5) David Woodward, Utah State (Rd5-6) Francis Bernard, Utah (Rd5-7) Michael Divinity, LSU (Rd6-7) TE: Hunter Byrant, Washington (Rd4) Albert Okwuegbunam, Missouri (Rd4-6) Colby Parkinson, Stanford (Rd6-7) S: Antoine Brooks, Maryland (Rd4-5) JR Reed, Georgia (Rd5-6) L'Jarius Sneed, Louisiana Tech (Rd5-7) James Wiggins, Cincinnati (Rd6-UDFA) OT: Ben Bartch, St John (Rd4) Saahdiq Charles, LSU (Rd4-5) Trey Adams, Washington (Rd5-6) Charlie Heck, UNC (Rd5-7) RB: Anthony McFarland, Maryland (Rd4-5) Darius Anderson, TCU (Rd5-7) Jason Huntley, New Mexico State (Rd7-UDFA)

The Moss selection cemented in my mind that we want to sign Chris Thompson after the Draft. And yeah, it's kinda crazy that we can strip away Hughes, Addison, Star, Murphy, and Butler and still be left with a completely viable (and young) DL. Or Keep Butler and then it's a viable 5 man foundation.
