My opinion

I think Morgan will be a starter.

I liked what I saw out of Taylor last year, but I don't know that he'll crack the starting lineup.
I think, if not by week one, by the end of the season, Morgan will be starting over Pollard.
I think Franklin is at least as good, and possibly better than any #2 receivers we have.
I think Tank will rotate in at DT, but not start... yet.

I just don't know who'd start at DT.

Dorsey was a great pickup, but hopefully we'll invest another high rounder in that position very soon.

Tank can probably beat out Edwards, I think. Turk's lost in the woods right now. Boone is at DE.

Also, I think the label started/backup can be deceiving. Technically, Marion Barber has only "started" 3 games in his career. Not that Charles will be as good as Barber, but just an illustration.

Morgan will be a starter

With only 11 collegiate starts, you think he's ready for the NFL in week 1??

Maybe not week 1, but I definitely think he will become a starter at some point during the season.
Maybe they'll ease him in and use him a lot on special teams at first.

Yes, the kid is an athlete and very instinctive

Morgan will start after our bye at the latest.

Morgan after about 2 days of camp will have caught everyones eye as light years ahead of our current safeties.

Michael Allan probably won't be on the team that would be 4 TE's.

Agreed. I doubt they draft two TEs if they thought that Allan was a keeper.

Agreed, Morgan starts. What's the deal with Boone at DE? Is that official? Tank isn't ready to start, hopefully next year, it should be Tamba at the RDE Dorsey Boone Turk, IMO. I don't know anything about that DE we drafted, is he expected to roate in and get any playing timethis year?

The 2nd TE was drafted as a fullback in my opinion.

A 6'4 265 pound fullback?

WHAT?

How can a 6th round pick be considered a "Bust", especially after one season?

Did you expect seriously expect a 6th round pick to be a monster?

Shit, I didn't realize he was that big. I saw an interview where it seemed like Herm was alluding to it though.

Look at our Oline. It is made up of 6-7 rounders. Thank god for Albert.

I've got Herb love. He'll crack the 53-man squad this year.

1. We still suck
2. He's got talent, he just needs to get in the weight room
3. Did I mention we still suck? Seriously, are we saying guys like Tre Stallings and Ian Allen are going to make it over Taylor? Not happening.
