Peters
Gaines
Nelson
Berry
Parker
Sorenson? White? Murray?

Sorenson unfortunately. Hopefully Murray takes over for him by November.

Direckshun 08-29-2016 02:17 PM

Could be Akers, really.

That secondary is just chaos right now.

Marcus Cooper
Jamell Fleming
Brock Vereen

Anything could happen.

KeiVarae Russel has been an enigma.

DJ White is what KeiVarae Russel was suppose to be.

Chris Jones,Parker Ehinger and Tyreek Hill are the only 3 'ready' imo

Eric Murray looking very rough

Demarcus Robinson will he even make the regular roster?

Kevin Hogan another guy who is doubtful to make the regular roster

DJ White - shown flashes but very inconsistent (normal for rookie)

Dadi Nichols - shown some real skill but coaching staff doesn't seem to be pushing his development. :(

And Ehinger appears 'ready' to be the weak spot on our line while Tyreek Hill appears 'ready' to be the 4th WR.

There's a fair amount of potential here but coming off last season's class where Peters and Morse were immediately studs, I'd say the bar is raised a little higher than where BossChief has placed it.

What do you expect out of a rookie class though? I mean, you'd like to see Russell show a little more, but for the most part, I'd say it's been a good showing

I still think Russell has a chance, but they're almost certainly going to give him the Steven Nelson treatment this year.

Damn, I was wondering how Robinson was doing.

And? It's tough to make a squad coming off 3 straight winning seasons.

Just saying. We're below league average at WR, CB and LG.

why do you say that?

If they were thinking that Dadi would be ready this year wouldn't they play him with the 1's etc?

There's a lot we don't know, maybe Dadi isn't absorbing the entire playbook are something.

Always looking for something to fight about. :shake:

Coaches certainly look like they are planning on playing Ehringer anyway.

I would rather play Fulton myself

I think Hill is going to return kicks and work his way into a DaT role.

I was trying to be positive.

Apparently not positive enough for BossChief, but i was trying.

Yup

Hard to believe we'd expose a 3rd or possibly 4th rounder to getting swiped off the practice squad. But it was a weird draft, in that typically a team isn't looking for mid round volume when they have a pretty deep roster.

No we are not. That is crazy talk. Below league average would mean basically bottom 10 at those positions. Those positions may indeed be weak points, but even they are league average. Start with WR. JMac is a legit number 1. That alone puts us above a lot of teams. Conley, Streater and Hill all flashed enough to be league average for 2,3, and 4 WR. Move on to CB. Marcus Peters is a top 10 CB in the league and DROY. He puts us at average or above by himself. Granted there isn't much behind him, but that can be said for most teams. Very few have 2 or more elite CB. Now if you had said that the depth is below league average, I might have entertained that notion until Gaines proves he can step up. But as a whole, they are not below average. LG. Hmm. Ehinger is a rookie that needs to bulk up. But OL is generally weak across the league. I'm not sure that even with his inexperience that I would rank Ehinger bottom 10. I son't believe the staff does either or he wouldn't be starting game 1. That being said, I would definitely like to see improvement there. And with thee young guys we have at those positions, we may just see that improvement sooner rather than later.So calm down, and stop overreacting.

No, no and no.

We're bad or unproven at all of those positions.

Yeah and we will probably only lose 1 big time player this offseason in Poe/Berry. With a likely 10 picks next year and tradeable comp picks it would be a good year to move up in the first and get a player they love. This teams depth is ridiculous
