A weird roster in the sense that we have a lot of NFL level players but all stacked at the same positions competing for 1 or 2 jobs that might be above their punching class (aka a metric ton of CB4/5s competing for CB3). Lacking some serious depth at some other positions like OLB.
I agree with you on LG and OL more generally. A lot of guys competing for one job. Will be curious if it's a real competition or if they already know who they want. If I had to guess right now, they're comfortable with John Simpson week 1 but are really hoping that Sala comes into camp and takes the job.
In general, I feel like we don't have near as much depth as we have in the past outside of CB (again, you could argue whether it's quality depth or not) and maybe WR to an extent. Every other position feels like just enough depth or maybe 1 extra guy that you might tinge a little if you lose him.
I'm less worried. Would I feel happier if we'd resigned Marcus P? Of course, but the idea of letting a ton of rosterable players compete for the LG and CB3 spots isn't a terrible plan. Someone will probably emerge.
This time last year we were hoping Cleveland would take the LG role and thinking of Powers as useful depth. Kansas City just won the Super Bowl with nothing but 7th round corners.
Of course, they had Chris Jones reducing QBs time to target them and we still need some help in that dept. There are a lot of good pass rushers still available, that's where we should definitely be adding someone.
With Peters gone, there aren't as many CBs out there that excite me. I think we can cover the slot between Hamilton, Ardarius Washington, Pepe and even Marlon, so we don't really need Callaghan. We can afford to wait and see how all 16 CB5s perform before adding another similar player, if need be.
