I like it a lot. Still young. Lots of speed. Good stuff!

Wait, so he sucks now right!

I like Ty. He has some great traits. He is big, thick, and very fast.

I think it's Edwards at LG with McGovern at center. Edwards has started a whole bunch in the league and was looking like he was one of the best young guards in the league before his concussion issues. I get that some people are into Alec Anderson for some reason, and I see that they like him, but I haven't seen enough of him to know if he is anything. If he is competing for a starting spot, something has gone very wrong IMO. Edwards and McGovern are so much better and it isn't close IMO. A guy like Ryan Van Denmark is interesting to me because of his very high 9.44 RAS score. Anderson is a lunch pail former RT who scored a 1.02 on the RAS. I just don't think that is all that projectable. I could see them adding a vet center like Brian Allen. Then I would feel a lot better about our depth there. Anderson just doesn't do it for me, JMO. I hope he turns into something, I just think it's hard for unathletic UDFA linemen to become great linemen. Guys like Jason Peters, Brian Waters who had crazy athleticism as former tight ends can become great. It's about projection for me. I hope Anderson surprises me!

Looking forward to super awkward moments with Maddy Glab.

Not sure I have ever seen a center smokescreen!

See! Eccentric weirdo! I love it!

I didn’t realize he and Trubisky were teammates! They also had lunchpail WR Ryan Switzer!

They do need an upgrade there and Armstead is a massive talent upgrade. IMO, there are two ways to beat Mahomes…sack him or score 60

Safety update…Still available, young starting caliber safeties. I added their age when the season starts… Kamren Curl - 25 Mike Edwards -28 Julian Blackmon -26 K’Von Wallace -27 Jordan Fuller -26 Best player available is the 30 year old Justin Simmons.

McGovern is gonna be that guy. I think they really like Edwards as well as he is a Kromer guy. I do too. McGovern is a natural center, played center in high school, so the dude has been snapping a long time. He will be fine. Draft somebody late sure, but there is no reason to spend a high draft pick on a center.

Comp pick! That's a contract!

The Colts spending money on the secondary maybe means Julian Blackmon shakes loose. The more I watch, the more I love the fit.

Agreed. 2 will likely come by draft and there are a few 4 types on the market.

Just to add, he is, allegedly, a great guy and a leader who is a huge weirdo. It is good to have those eccentric guys around when there is a ridiculous amount of pressure on the team to win. At the very least he will be fun.

Mack Hollins

He's probably a 5, maybe the 4 I was talking about in the other thread he's a gunner, and has some size. I had him on my radar last year as a guy who could help. Has some traits. Still a ton of work to do at that position.

Renfrow was in the slot for 86.5% of his snaps in 2023. https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/hunter-renfrow/ A guy like Hardman played 56% of his snaps in the slot. Quez Watkins was a 63% guy. So those guys have some flex ability. Just for data purposes, Kincaid played 50% of his snaps from the slot and Shakir played 69%. Harty was 50%. Isaiah Mckenzie in the 4 role in 2021 played in the slot 43% of the time, while that same year, the pure slot Beasley was there for 82% of his snaps. I think we will see Shakir's snaps go up some in the slot. This team needs an outside starter #2. They also need what Beane calls his 4, that guy who can play inside and outside and help on special teams.

The #4. Beane spoke about the 4 spot last year being a guy who can play in the slot, can play outside, and is a vertical threat. That's what they brought in Harty for. He was the 4 who also doubled as a backup slot. A guy like Renfrow is redundant and offers pretty much nothing outside of slot play. I don't think you need a straight backup slot. You also have Kincaid who plays some slot. Renfrow would serve no purpose on this roster IMO.

Shakir and Kincaid are the slot players here. If you add a guy to the WR mix as the #4, it should be a pure speed guy, Quez Watkins, Andy Isabella, Scotty Miller, Mecole Hardman. I know Renfrow brings a lunchpail, but he doesn't move the needle at all.

Nah

He's a nickel player who plays teams. Short arms and all that so he isn't an outside corner and I am not sure he is a candidate for a safety conversion. He was a guest speaker at my school and was awesome with the kids, so as far as I know, he's a good dude.

A lot of 1 year deals trying to re-create the Gronk-Hernandez days

A year old, but this pretty good article highlights positives and weaknesses in his game: https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2023/3/31/23662108/eagles-all-22-film-review-nicholas-morrow-linebacker-bears-raiders-philadelphia-highlights-defense

New regime. Maybe he’s too expensive. Who knows
