They are not carrying four TEs next year unless they get rid of the FB. They already brought back Morris as TE #3. Totally agree about Punter. I have been saying punter in the fifth round since November. Also agree on DB. Why they brought back Cam Lewis I have no idea. They already signed there special teams LB Morrow. I hate late round OTs but a guy to play the big TE role that Edwards played last year might not be unreasonable.

What can we expect on day 3?

Good breakdown. Kincaid is a nice piece but so far he looks closer to a guy like Gesicki than he does to Kecle. He can't block anyone. Maybe his ceiling is Kittle who can block a little. I have a fondness for Knox and how physical he plays but he is dead to me until he stops dropping the dam ball. A bit of recent bias as Beane did not use a first or second round pick on offense for several drafts in a row while taking DL three times (Oliver, Rousseau and Epenesa). Then used back to back 3rd round picks on RBs that are no longer on the tram. Of course he got Diggs which was masterful. However after that he allowed them to go into one season with just two rookie TEs. He continued to use mid to late round guys to address RT. To be fair it looked like Davis might have been a gem. But after that 4 TD game he forgot how to catch the dam ball. They tried to make McKenzie a starter but obviously misjudged his talent. And let's not even start to discuss the debacle that has been the OG story under Beane. It has taken him 5 years to finally have a competent set of guards while cutting a probowl talent. Now all we are doing is trying to recreate what hasn't worked so far by drafting safety and rotational DT. By cutting Diggs and not adequately addressing WR we are a worse team now than the one that barely won the divison and lost in the playoffs. Now Beane has been good getting late in FA guys like Floyd last year. I think he adds a veteran WR after 6/1 either in free agency or trade. Maybe by training camp one of these WRs will be available for a 2025 draft pick. -
For me it is the fact two defenders were taken and one is already only going to be a backup. We couldn't find a backup DT later and taken another WR? Where is the sense of urgency to get Allen help? Lastly this last 48 hours just reinforces the fact McDermott makes all the final decisions in this organization. And until he is gone we are wasting Allen and destined to fail.

RB, P, OG, CB, LB and probably at least two trades -
Rd 3, Pick 95: DT DeWayne Carter, Duke

Spare us that nonsense. It has always been McDermott's defense. His defense collapsed last year against Denver, Eagles twice, and again against KC. If you are going to defend McDermott then don't lay the blame elsewhere. -

So you are guaranteeing Coleman is a starter? None of us know if he is going to be any good. But all of us know you nearly double your odds if you take another WR. How can you defend what hasn't worked? They keep drafting defense early and it hasn't worked. -

Shakir being very good is a stretch...he had a couple of nice games last year. He looks like a guy that can be very good but he has a lot to prove
