We have an elite QB in his second year in the same system. Quality receiving targets on big deals in Terry and Deebo (plus Brown and Ertz) two OTs who are better at pass protection than run blocking and an iffy running back room.
Not saying we should abandon the run - some balance is still...
I’m from the NW of England - spent a lot of time in Liverpool. Most of it is/was a bomb site :-) Then again I’ve not been there for about 10 years now.
He’s turned himself in for a warrant/arrest for sexual assault.
As for the player he’s got elite speed - but very inconsistent production. He only had 30 odd catches last season, he’s never broken 700 yards receiving in a season. I think he’s at best a 20/30 catch a year guy who can take the...
Realistically anyone we are picking up as a street free agent at this point of the year has holes/issues.
I guess as I think a bit more about this we have guys who can set an edge against the run in base - we need someone who still have some pass rush juice. Right now pass rush/pressure is...
I think I would take Smith. Miller at this point is a sub package rush specialist.
I think we end up with an edge player who plays significant snaps who we pick up after the final cuts. It’s the glaring area of weakness on this roster.
But we added Tunsil and Deboo with picks that were ‘missing’ this season. That’s two elite level starters plus Conerly and Amos - two more guys I’d expect to start.
I will take four quality starters from the draft every year and call it success!
Sanders is the best QB in their building.
Which might say more about what else they have available than Sanders. But I’d bet he starts games for the Browns this season.
Starting 3 will be Terry, Deboo and Noah Brown.
Behind that it’s potential and hope. McCaffrey needs a big camp, he’s competing with guys like KJ Osborn and Gallup for the #4 spot. Lane probably gets the #5 spot and is the primary punt returner (also a battle with McCaffrey).
Don’t know too much about Lane but apparently he’s got speed and that’s something we need to continue to add.
He returns punts so he’s got a chance to be active and get some touches on screens and jet sweeps etc.
Defense needs help - but from here it’s more about depth and developmental...
I actually agree with this. As much as I dislike Deon Sanders.
I would say though that the noise around a QB as high profile as Sanders is way more than a DE.
Wonder how far Sanders is going to fall. Teams must see him as a backup - I think he can play but his lack of arm strength and marginal mobility plus all the off field hype that would come with him are clearly putting teams off. I think he can be a starter in the right system, he processes well...
Like the pick though I might have gone Revel - but Revel is much more of a press guy. Amos has size which we need outside - assume he plays outside with Lattimore and we can move Sainristil inside to slot. Great value pick and fills a clear need.
