2024 Roster Updates

[Kel Varnsen]

Another Ron pick bites the dust. Although I could see him back on the practice squad, unless he’s hurt and they just want out.

 

[Boone]

Jesus - the indictment of the Rivera roster and drafts continues. Has there ever been a more complete 'clean sweep' of a roster by an incoming GM than what we've seen since Adam Peters arrived?

Get out of my head Kel. It's spooky.

 

[Renegade7]

To think he was supposed to be at minimum a backup for depth we lost in case Allen or Payne went down...couldn't even do that...damn...

 

[Conn]

To think he was supposed to be at minimum a backup for depth we lost in case Allen or Payne went down...couldn't even do that...damn...

What’s even funnier is that at the time of the pick, he was supposed to be a replacement if we couldn’t re-sign Payne. Similar to Dotson/McLaurin.

Man those guys were clowns.

 

[Chris]

Ron should send a ring to the last player he drafted when he is still on the roster.

 

[Enforcer]

Ron should get a ring. If not for his horrible talent evals, we wouldn't have been in position to draft Jayden! 😁

The 1973 old Christians club rugby team was probably pretty close but beyond that I can't think of any.

[Boone]

Pro tip: It's easier to list who hasn't been a bust

 

[tomwvr]

this was a much better way to show it I haven't even looked at the rounds 4 and later. But it wont be good

 

[Boone]

I'm just giving you a hard time brother - your point is well taken!

 

[DieselPwr44]

Had a Curtis Mathis TV one time…it did last long either ..,

 

[Neophyte]

It will be interesting to see if some of these guys go on to have decent careers elsewhere with different schemes.

Example - Gibson is having solid year in NE with over 600 combined yards.

LA obviously saw enough in Forbes to be willing to take on his remaining guaranteed money.

I'm not saying we should have kept any of them but I doubt that none of them can play at this level. I think most of them were seriously overdrafted, leading to unrealistic expectations.

 

[DieselPwr44]

Always thought Gibson was misused here. That he should’ve been used as a 3rd down back/ Deebo Samuel role and instead they wanted him to be a between the tackles runner. Puzzling…

 

[tomwvr]

Ron Had no clue thet is why he was misused here

 

[burgold]

It wasn’t obvious. I mean who would think to use a transitioning wide receiver in the passing game?

I thought Mike Mayock was just awful with the Raiders, but it would be fun to see if any other executive has ever had as bad a 4 year run in the draft as Ron Rivera.

 

[The Rook]

I use to think Matt Millen was the height of bad picks. To that, Ron Rivera said "Hold my beer!".
