Love that fourth next year gohead Eric

 

[Justdewinit20]

You have to think this passing offence is going to look different this year, or else why would we be adding all these pieces lol

If the right side can pass block sure lol

 

[Italian Raven]

Trade speaks highly of how crappy this class is.
Major statement was taking a CB with questionable traits for possibly moving him to Safety (a position we don't even really need to address).. Talking about projections..

 

[BloodRaven]

Also 3 picks in round 5 now - 160, 171, and 184. Saying fuck the late rounds where there will be a whole bunch of nobodies

Statistically a 5th round pick is about as likely to be retained as a 7th round pick, at about 35% into their 3rd season.

I really think Boykin is gone. Assuming we keep five on the active roster that's:
Hollywood
Watkins
Bateman
Wallace
Duv

maybe we can trade Boykin and get some value in return

 

[Italian Raven]

Anyone having an idea of the 2022 class?
Positions of strength and such?

obviously that's still an issue - i just meant that it's going to look different in style or play balance terms because why else would we be adding more and more weapons like this

I don't know. I think Safety is a position we should address. Elliott is in the final year of his contract and he's more of a SS. I'd love Johnson or Ardarius Washington and both are still on the board

Everything right now, except QB. Obviously early but you have a much bigger pool of players. Covid waiver seniors, regular seniors, and underclassmen

no idea - but this is one of the smallest classes ever in terms of draftable players and players hoping to be udfas too
2022 expected to be much bigger according to lots of experts - but idk about the strengths yet

Ton of new pieces and two new coaches to help with it. Passing offense was obviously a focus this offseason.

both receivers we brought in were route-runners too

For some reason our front office loves safeties despite the position being devalued by the rest of the league, of course you have those rare deep cover 1 safeties who scare QBs but Stephens will never be that.

Hands and route running, two things we never used to look for when drafting receivers lol

[Simba]

And on to round 5 we go!

ill open it fairly soon lol

 

[Adreme]

because other guys play on special teams too and he's not a standout special teamer...
downfield blocking isnt enough to earn a roster spot - not when duvernay's out there as the top return man and probably best gunner on the team - proche might be in trouble too but think the extra year of control and better physicality at the catch-point gives him more of a chance to win that battle

Right now neither Boykin nor Duv are going to be seeing much playtime as a WR, barring a jump in skill from either one, as Duv cannot beat any coverage whatsoever and Boykin's route running is awful. However, they actually do bring value in something unlike proche.
