Daylon needs work on his hands a little and at times he is a little high. But he's explosive at off the ball and there are stretches where he dominates.
Very impressed by Madubuike. Im trying to remember if Ive seen him get outright moved off the line of scrimmage. Im sure it happens but no play in particular comes to mind.
I like Alaka. It could be the scheme that Harrison plays in but I see Alaka as every bit as physical and more instinctive. Harrison is a bit robotic in that scheme...which is good to an extent in that he is doing his job but sometimes it is to a fault.
daylon mack's way onto the roster is basically to beat out whoever the competition is at backup nose tackle - but even if he wins that job and we keep 7 DL im not sure i see many snaps in his near future without a brandon williams injury...
it might be between him and justin ellis for that 7th DL spot if we keep 7 (have included jihad ward as a DL rather than an EDGE)
I like Alaka as well but unless there's a major upset, he's not going to play many snaps on defence this year so his way onto the roster and into earning snaps (by being active) is to win a major special teams role - i think that could be in his wheelhouse but that would basically be an open competition between him and Chris Board potentially for 1 spot on the roster (maybe they could both make it)
the final spots on the 53 are going to be wild... how many QBs, how many DL, how many LBs, how many DBs, does chris moore make it purely based on special teams, does jordan richards make it purely on special teams, which TE wins the TE 3 role, is there a way bronson rechsteiner can win a role, who's the backup T and if it isn't Tyre Phillips then who is it and which IOL doesn't make the roster because of it, how many UDFAs make it...
really interesting roster construction this year i think - the positions and camp battles that will have the biggest impact on our roster will be TE 3, what the makeup of the IOL turns out to be and can deshon elliott win (and keep) the 3rd safety role to allow chuck clark to continue to stay close to the LoS
