Watson's my first cut if anyone else forces themselves onto the roster.

As to the odds of that? Lordy folks, it's OTAs. We're a loooooooong ways away from needing to make that decision. John Ross will probably start getting wrecked off the line as soon as pads come on. Justyn Ross will probably get hurt the first time someone touches him.

Nothing is to be learned right now apart from how hard someone like Rashee Rice studied the playbook over the last 6 weeks or so. Which, to be frank, means precisely **** all.

We use him for QB sneaks, we could use him as a lead blocker for the RBs (not that we did that much outside of that throwback sweep play in the Superbowl, but you get what I'm saying).

With this news, I'd say Justyn Ross likely has an early hold on the #7 spot. I'm assuming he'd be a better special teams player than John Ross, though.

The absence of a FB also tells me we're going with more 3 TE sets. Use 1 of them to be a H-back/safety valve. As I look at our top 4 TEs, you don't want Kelce in that role too often and I don't see either Gray or Fortson as viable candidates. That leaves Bell. The other option would be so say goodbye to Fortson, given his age and injury background and look at Blanton.
