Popular Post TuscanyTile2 Posted April 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2022 It feels like this franchise has FINALLY hit a minimum level of competency. There's a realistic chance that we're now set at the 3 biggest positions (QB, LT and Edge). We have very little depth in many areas but at least we can field a team that doesn't have glaring holes (e.g. horrible OL, crap weapinzz, horrific defense). OFFENSE: OL: There are obviously questions about Becton but he still has high-ceiling potential. AVT, Laken, Fant and McGovern are above average. WR: We've got 2 "hotshot" WRs in Eli Moore and Garrett Wilson along with 2 solid guys in Corey Davis and Berrios. TE: We've got 2 NFL-level TEs. They're not great but at least we're no longer a complete embarrassment at the position. QB: Zach was trending up at the end of last year. Now we've added competency around him to at least see what we've got with him. Year 2 will hopefully be a big jump. Flacco is the apple of our HC's eye anyway. And our 3rd stringer is a HOFer. DEFENSE: DL: We finally have an Edge! LB: We badly need another one to pair with Mosley but that will likely be addressed in the draft CB: Sauce, DJ Reed, Bryce Hall, Echols. This looks like a great unit. We have a potential star along with talent and depth S: We definitely need an upgrade here but will probably get one in this draft, or even in FA. And if you're going to be weak at a position on defense, this is one you can probably deal with. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drums Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think Berrios is going to be better this year (more consistently productive). Took him a few years but he's a hard worker and smart, and it seems to be paying off finally. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Becton insurance is coming. Either as a mid-rounder or we’ll sign one of the veteran FA OT still out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Yes we got some guys that can either start of play on another team. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which seems to be exactly when you should take insurance on starters, not in the first round. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold's Forehead Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 As was the case prior to the draft, the biggest thing for this team, and the success of JD/Saleh, will be injuries. Sure we’ll have our SOJ moments, but if this team is even remotely healthy compared to the past few years, no reason we can’t be in the hunt (barring any Zachtastrophes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icer Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 It's probably not ready to compete for the playoffs, but there's no reason why we should be picking in the Top 5 yet again barring Zach Wilson blowing chunks. Every year it feels like real progress is being made to turn the team around at the bare minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget he's playing with his new boyfriend who's feeding him the balls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few games down the stretch that were basically all them on offense so let's ******* go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talented and deep. Just need the kids to keep working hard and the winning will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
