This was probably posted somewhere but I didn't find it when I searched Kendricks.

We seem to be quite interested in him and could be a perfect replacement for TD in a few years.

I think with the free agents that we have added it will give us the opportunity to pick BPA and LB could be that pick.

I like the part where he knows everything going on the field. Down, location, everything.

We are doing a good job of due diligence and looking at a bunch of guys we like and hope are going to be there at our picks. I think with Davis's not yet signed to a contract that anything is in play. I just wouldn't do it. But then again I am no expert.

I wouldn't care for it on the surface, but there's always going to be that lingering feeling that something can happen to TD, so I could understand it.

I pray TD career ends with him walking off the field and not carried off. He is going to slow down in the next couple of years and a replacement should be on the roster.

Gettleman is stacking this roster with viable talent and BPA may always be our pick in future drafts.

Most thought that Kueckly was a bad pick when we still had Beason.  Gettleman knows his stuff.  He will look ahead a couple years and decide what we need ready to start by then and who will be gone.  Maybe Kalil, Johnson, Stewart, TD and someone else may retire or move on.  The trick is to be ready.  The Pats know this and always are in the hunt.  Gettleman knows this and will have us ready.

I can see one scenario--Draft Shaq Thompson. 

 

He could play some SS and WLB until Davis starts to slow, when he becomes the SLB and Davis moves to WLB to stretch his career. 

 

Gettlemen said he was looking to 2016, so Shaq, Luke, and Davis is a pretty solid LB corps.

Shaq would be a good get. I just don't like the switching of positions. I think it hampered Davis's growth early in his career.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
