Zombo Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just adding the new acquisitions to see what we look like heading to the draft. Not mentioning everyone on the roster, just guys I see near the top of the depth chart, lots will change, I don't know which guy is ultimately the LT and how some of the rotations will work, and there's still a couple guys that don't seem wanted by the new regime (Taylor, Coleman). Guys in bold could expect major playing time if the season started tomorrow: QB: Taylor, Hogan, Kessler FB Vitale RB Hyde, Duke, Dayes WR1 Gordon, Ricardo WR2 Landry, Coleman, Higgins TE1 Njoku, Devalve TE2 Fells, Tefler LT Hubbard, Rod Johnson LG Bitonio, Drango C Tretter, Reiter RG Zeitler RT Coleman, Stephenson DE Garrett, C, Smith, Orchard DT Coley, Brantley DT Ogunjobi, Meder DE Ogbah, Nassib SLB Collins, Burgess MLB Schobert, Carder WLB Kirksey, Alexander CB McCourty, Taylor CB Carrie, Boddy-Calhoun, Mitchell SS Peppers, Kindred FS Randall, Nacua K Gonzalez P Colquitt LS Hughlett KR Dayes PR Peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville Slugger Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I don't see very many holes on this team. On offense we need QBOTF, LT, and WR depth. On defense a interior pass rusher and some depth at line backer. I would like a shutdown corner and there are some interesting CB that will be there at 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT Hubbard seems like more of a fit at RT to me, and I don't think they want Coleman or Drango as a long term answer at LT. Won't find it in first round of this draft....but if they trade down...they may get like a McGlinchey. But lets not assume a trade down 3 CB McCourty is old and Carrie is a #2 Still a need position. Is Minkah a CB? 4 DT Big playmaker in the middle would help Why do I anticipate the signing of Dontari Poe? But also Suh/Sheldon Richardson still out there. Do any of those fit your bill? 5 WR Don't think they love Coleman, don't think they trust Gordon, Landry on a one year deal Check....how do we improve? 6 LB Where's the depth? Nowhere....certainly a need imo 7 RB We've got two good guys gathering a lot of wear, bring on a young stud Second round 8 DE Find a pass rushing gem later in the draft somewhere...unless they go for Chubb at #4 9 S Randall and Peppers penciled in ... but they need to perform.. Check....but....Minkah/Derwin still in play Zombo I mean...hell...we have 3 2d round picks...and need them all and could use a couple more.....for RB, WR, OT, maybe DT, LB or DB if not taken in round one.

Still not a good pass cover LB corps. Haven't read a thing about Carder's rehab... will he be ready to compete for a roster spot? Given last year's chart, Peppers has to be the front-runner to back up Randall at FS. 3 hours ago, Zombo said: QB Need the Franchise guy.

Kess is gone. With TT arriving and former Dorsey pick, Hogan, re-inked I think a QB "style" has been established. Makes me think either Mayfield or Darnold is our next QB. Bad draft to need an OT. Couple CBs to watch, but I have a feeling that we may tab Ward to be our new Haden. Day three there's a San Jose St. kid, Chachere, who has caught my eye. One DT I've been looking at since the Sr. Bowl is BJ Hill (NC St.), but he's climbing boards and may not stop in Round 2. Couple DJ's would do wonders for our WR corps... Moore and Chark. The former is on the rise and may go too early. The latter should be right in our Round 2 sights and impressed the hell out of me at the Combine. A bit later there's IU's Simmie Cobbs... a real big body WR. LB corps also lack pass coverage skills. I have fallen in love with Boise's LB, Vander Esch.. a true 3-down LB. Probably will require climbing into the back end of Round One to land him, but he'd push a 2017 starter to "depth". Memphis' Avery is a nice Day 3 prospect. Really like Kerryon Johnson as an affordable addition to our RB stable, but not feeling we are going to spend that high of a pick on a RB. There's a Day 3-ish kid out of ASU, Ballage, I like for the "big back" role. I don't see a gem of a pass rush DE in the entire draft, let alone late, but I'd take a Day Two shot at Tulane's Ade Aruna. He's got some burst, but agility is lacking. I still see a FS in our draft not named Minkah or Derwin. There are Big 10 prospects sprinkled throughout the draft from Allen (PSU, R2) to Igwebuike (NWU, R4) to Kalu (Wis, R7). I really like the NWU kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarterbacks - does not look like a franchise guy showing up this year. 5. WR - will Flash keep clean and return to form? Landry a great add but can they resign him? Looks like the defense will have to carry the load in 2018......depending on any breakthrough offensive draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Coleman at LT is a possibility. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 OK Updated: I see Njoku the primary receiving TE and Fells the primary Blocking TE Hubbard will play RT, so I see the competition at LT as Coleman, Drango, Hot Rod and Stephenson with the losers backing up along the line if they make the team (DRAFT IS GOING TO CHANGE ALL OF THIS) Gordon and Coleman outside with Landry in the slot. (I see Coleman replaced) Taylor and Carrie outside with Boddy in the nickel (I see someone else coming into the picture here) So at least the brass has a framework going into the draft where we will probably pick up a franchise QB and two to four new starters/rotational guys. Going to be an interesting camp!

Reason I am optimistic about Coleman at LT is that is "going home" for him. His LT tape at Auburn showed a fluidity of movement that he never translated to RT with us. Plus there's the old "best I faced in college" comment from MG and Joe's recent proclamation of Shon's promise. I've not seen a better candidate in the Draft. I like the Hubbard signing. While he's not great by any stretch he's a decent RT who has shown he can flip sides and maintain his level of play. Drango is a good, 4-position backup. Rod's te Wild Card... no telling if he'll improve thru Camp. Stephenson was one of the worst of a bad OL group in Denver... I've no idea why he was signed.

Seems like Stephenson is a pet project that Dorsey does not want to let go of. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
