Best thing about Peters was his name.

Maybe the Amerson thing is Veach's way of telling himself from the beginning that he should just focus his attention to one thing at a time in terms of fixing this defense.

A one-year deal with him is just a band-aid, and it's not a very good band-aid. Perhaps we should have been looking more closely at longer term options.

As it is, we're going into next year with a TON of CB needs. Like, a billion dudes are playing on the last year of their contracts. If not to improve that position, we just need BODIES. Period.

Tramon Smith is a nice piece. It's a starting point. We need more, though.

call me crazy but i’m still very intrigued by ashton lampkin as well.

and i’m with you on amerson but he’ll be serviceable for a year. worst case he sucks but highly doubt he’s worse than mitchell and gaines. best case he does well moves on elsewhere and qualifies for the comp pick formula.

[Buckweath]

There is just no way that Veach doesn't do a trade to get a good CB. Going into the season with just Fuller, Nelson and Amerson is really risky and asking for trouble.

I really like this team going into next season but just add a good CB.

[Rain Man]

I like this guy as I read about him. Seems like a good risk versus reward pick.

I think maybe the coaching staff are higher on Reaser and Lampkin than we realize. I haven't browsed the UDFA thread yet but didn't a couple of decent CB prospects go undrafted? Would be nice to add an extra body that way.

This is an interesting pick. I like it

Updated the OP with an actual game tape

The thing that I like about picks like Smith and McKenzie is it kinda feels like they at least have a chance to exceed expectations in a big way. Most late picks like this, you're just expecting an okay backup at best.

Given that Smith comes from a small school and that McKenzie is changing positions, they have more question marks to their name but I think they also could be starters one day if all comes together right. Much like with LDT coming from Canada.

I agree. Low floor, but really high ceiling.

Yeah I'm all about high upside, homerun swings in the late rounds.
