I’ve noticed you didn’t include Tyler Rapp? Perhaps I’m not remembering things accurately, but I seem to remember you being especially sour on him in the offseason/training camp? Certainly, you were critical of the safety position in as a whole. Personally, I’ve considered Rapp one of the most underrated players since last season, and I think he still is. I have to believe he’s exceeded your expectations, no?

 

He has, although the concerns I had have shown themselves up at times - last Sunday being a prime example. His coverage has not been great, all year, but he has been a more consistent and more reliable box safety than I expected. His discipline in run fits when around the line has been better than I'd have given him credit for. I called him backup level before the season but I'm at the point where if you can find a good free safety to pair him with I'm fine with them running him back as the starter in 2025, though they still have to upgrade that unit IMO. I know some are of the view that with a full camp you can try Bishop at free safety and go with that tandem, I am less persuaded. I think you find a mid range vet centre fielder and then let Rapp and Bishop compete for strong safety.
