looking across the 2 divisions this is what I've got looking at the quality of WR2s:
AFC:
6/16 definitely better than Bate
9/16 probably better than Bate
14/16 probably at least as good as Bate
2/16 definitely worse than Bate
NFC:
8/16 definitely better than Bate
10/16 probably better than...
100% - was nice that he had a lot of hype in the preseason
but this guy's an ideal WR4 - legit elite trait (with his speed down the field), who can stress a CB in specific routes and packages but isn't going to play a ton of offence, but also is likely going to offer you solid-to-good special...
at least the journeyman C has great athletic tools that fit schematically
at DB - the top 3 CBs and the top 3 S are a pretty good looking group - you're right that i'd feel more confident if we had another guy ahead of Tampa but at least we've got a decent dime package group
at WR - it really...
everything i've seen suggests that this C "battle" isn't a battle at all
i've seen more non-RR reps at 1st team RT than I have of non-Pinter 1st team reps at C
everything you see has Simpson-Pinter-Ioane as your interior OL so far
that's just not true though in football
the center is often protected from 1v1 pass blocking situations because there are guards on both sides
one of the main reasons that Cs don't get paid as much as other OL (other than Linderbaum)
100%
he was a top 7 C on a yearly basis - probably top 2-5 when he plays at his peak
he's being paid like a generational talent at C
he's never once made an all-pro team (not even 2nd team)
he's a good player, but he's not irreplaceable
what im saying is... having watched Pinter, i really think he's gonna be fine
and pinter's never had a problem snapping the ball so the fact that he "touches the ball" on every play really doesnt matter in terms of his evaluation/projection
OL note:
it's defo been Stanley - Simpson - Pinter - Ioane - RR as the starting 5 so far
i think that's a pretty good OL if Ioane hits the way we expect him to - it's certainly a very explosive and athletic OL group
ah that makes sense
then again
im struggling to find anyone that truly fits the bill...
my guess is the guy above Zion is one of these 3 guys:
Denzel Boston
Kayden McDonald
TJ Parker
it won't be Stribling
it won't be Bisontis especially after they re-stacked the board for day 2
it probably...
would be surprised if he's not the guy heading into training camp
as i say, when i did the deeper dive recently with the coaches film, he was clearly the top guy for me from the available candidates
definitely helps that the reason he hasnt been a starter at C is because he's been stuck behind...
was deducing that it was boston based on the stuff we learned closer to the draft:
we know Zion was 2nd on their board entering day 2
we know they tried trading up to pick 39 (when Boston got picked)
we know they were no longer interested in trading up after pick 39
they had multiple meetings...
just watching the inside the draft ravens wired episode
and zion young was 20th on their board
(also implicitly means that Denzel Boston was top 20 too)
was just coming here to say that based on the stuff i can see:
Initial Depth Chart at OTAs seems to be:
1s: Stanley - Simpson - Pinter - Jones - RR
2s: Vinson - Vorhees - Gwyn - Vega - Lichtenhan
obviously Vega is going to be RG1
not even clear that bullock's even playing C in practice (hard...
