Non of that is relevant to my point though. I'm not saying he's worth being traded for based on his year on the Panthers. I'm suggesting that he may be more like his career average and a contender might need vet rotational piece and some deal could be made that's any tiny bit better than just dumping him.

Yes and Gilmore and Clowney . What's the point?

Exactly. Look at this poo https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-2023-nfl-draft-grades

Sanders was a 5 yds per carry career guy over 4 seasons until he came to this dumpster fire of coaching and OL injuries. It's not insane to think he could be more productive in a new system behind a bolstered interior line. Cutting him helps nothing. The very best scenario is to give him the ball and if he looks good hope for a mid season trade for something while Brooks gets back to 100%. Such as a serious contender responding to injuries needing vet help. (Chiefs, etc)

The inside depth chart needs a lot help than outside is a better way to say I suppose

True but variety of types is valid and the coach (especially one of his background) selecting deliberately is understandable.

What's there to grade in April?

Look at the roster and who we had at each. The OLB two deep was set. The inside wasnt.

Nothing. It's April

I admit to not paying close attention to it but I've not heard anyone outside this community say he's not a good blocker. Just the opposite

He's worthy of being on the roster for the grunt work but not at his salary. Ideally he would stay at greatly reduced salary. Unfortunately TEs are either receivers or blockers. I heard it said Gronk was last true TE

One of the guys in the first short list of prospect meetings. So they were eying him.

Yeah we have more than enough at running back. Hopefully one of these udfa offensive lineman can become serviceable depth

No

Leggette doesn't need to start day 1 either. Regardless of when he was taken he's a 2nd rounder. He should certainly contribute day 1. Day 1 is irrelevant really. What matters is the years these guys contribute not the games first season

Brooks no.

It get repeated by a handful of you in every thread. We know where Morgan worked.

By who?

Every player who has an injury isn't injury prone or every player alive would have that label. They have completely different situations medically.

It's not even half over.

Maybe but he's crucial as a backup guard and tackle.

My concern is injury. I don't doubt he can be at least serviceable. Corbett is the only viable option on the roster and coming off 2 knee injuries. I don't believe you can ever rest on your laurels when it comes to OL. I don't think anyone would be cool with assuming the Duke guard can be a starting C from the get go.

Well.....I will look for positives but try not to claim anything definitive and get caught up in arguments

I think it was 220 early in his time at UK
