I can't imagine we won't pick up a 6th WR, but then again, the move of Ricci to fullback, keeping 4 other TE's... Brady must be planning some significant changes to the offense from last year

Both Terrace Marshall and Shi Smith outplayed him IMO, and Zylstra is a core ST guy Would imagine this means the PR job is Shi's once he's healthy... do we risk putting DJ back there until then?

Must be planning to run a lot of 21 and 22 personnel this year Plan on running the ball a lot and having guys back to help block with this offensive line and rely on our WRs to win down the field

Surprised by the David Moore release... must have tried to trade him and found no takers... He wasn't really going to have a role on offense outside of PR/KR without injuries, and he didn't play on other ST roles Good news for Shi Smith... hopefully he is back in a few weeks... seems to be more dynamic than Moore, and the team obviously has plans for him

Glad this team is being run by professionals who seem to have a plan beyond basically flunking the draft after the 1st round and handing out contracts we regret before the ink is dry...

Thanks for the recap OP... really appreciate it

This is the most surprising thing to me of all so far with the roster

Keith Taylor and STO have shown good promise... hopefully they won't have to be pressed into a lot of playing time too early like Troy Pride was last year and continue to develop.

Fletcher selling that injury like a true team player... IR and stash him if we can't trade him

The Elflein/ Paradis show is going to get Darnold killed

Don't know how close he is to playing, but we can't go into the season without at least trying to upgrade across the entire offensive line. Only positions I feel like are in decent shape at RG & RT. Lamp has a good bit of experience playing LG, which may be the worst position on the line right now (even over LT)

I think he ends up with the Steelers (probably the best spot for him) b/c he will have a chance next year if Ben retires Or the Texans will sign him since Tyrod is going to be their starting QB as of now. BTW we play them Week 3

If we are serious about having a fullback, yes. I think Ricci is a fine developmental player, but Armah actually knows the position. Saints fans aren't happy, he had a good TC and preseason, got caught up in the numbers/injuries game. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't try to sign him back after they put some guys on temporary IR after the initial 53 roster is set

If I was betting that's where I would pick. The problem for Cam as a backup is that he is still a high-profile player and anywhere he goes, the minute the starting QB struggles, people will be clamoring for him. A lot of coaches don't want to deal with that, and would rather have a lesser backup than to deal with the media circus

4 moves left (with Bouye going on inactive/suspended list)

YGM isn't going anywhere. The Johnson trade was about getting another development 4-3 prototype DE and improving STs

If he could approach either of them it would be a huge win for an undrafted guy. You're right about body type, I was thinking more of him just being a dog as a slot CB like Munnerlyn

Trade him while his stock is at an all-time high! Seriously though, he has done a lot of good work here under the radar for many years. This huddler appreciate that

I don't see it... I think the team very much has Bouye in their plans... with a 17 game season and playing against the WR's in the NFC South, he is going to get plenty of playing time IMO. Although, Myles Hartfield has looked better at nickel than I ever imagined he could be. Reminds me a little of Munnerlyn.

Will be able to keep 1 more CB for the 1st 2 weeks Bouye is suspended. Thought it would be Melvin, but he got hurt against the Ravens I think and I'm not sure if he will be ready Week 1. If not, may sign someone from the outside for at least those weeks

Be lucky to get a 6th or 7th, and that may be conditional

Was thinking David Moore to the Lions may get us the best return

Totally aware... no way we're getting anything more than depth players or Day 3 picks... just curious to see what people think

David Moore- was brought in to potentially be WR3 but has been passed by TMJ. Will make the team all things equal, but could return us a useful player or draft pick. Probably the best option to receive another player back of value. Cannon is a better returner IMO which would be Moore's major role barring injuries. Christian Miller- Trading for Darryl Johnson all but eliminates his chances to make the roster, but he does have 2 career sacks and could be a decent depth player on a primarily 3-4 defense. Probably get a conditional late round pick at best since he missed last year. Ian Thomas- I personally think the Panthers are higher on him than the fans, but it would save $2M and could return a late-round pick. Anyone else come to mind? I hate the idea of giving up additional draft picks to acquire talent if we can't get any back (I liked the Johnson trade b/c we basically swapped him for Perryman)

Very true... it's still a valid argument and indictment that this organization has peddled out bad offensive lines for the majority of the past decade, and unfortunately, this season isn't looking great either in regards to either performance or stability on something so crucial
