Has already flash some skillsets that other backups have already shown they don't have.. It's not to crazy to see the kid might be better than them already..smh

Honestly, in what qe've seen of him so far, I think this is true, and he should be the starter in TD's absence.  He has an innate ability get to the passer and just looks more explosive out there.  Mayo is solid, but to me, he is just a guy...  he is kind of like the same player as Dan Connor, Adam Seward, and other late round MLBs we've usually had in the past...  he steps in and plays, and while he isn't neccessarily a liability, he isn't standing out either.  Carter has potential to be more.  I think Andre Smith does too, and the addition of Carter and Smith likely knock guys like Jacobs off the 53.

Yes, he can get to the QB . . . but seriously, that's not something we really ask our LB's to do with any sort of regularity.  That's something a 34 OLB does.  This is why everyone expected him to go to a 34 team.

We need someone who can play the edge on the run and cover a TE / RB in the pass game.

I will give you the fact that Mayo is solid, but don't tell me that he has the upside of Carter because it already would have showed. Carter is the more gifted athlete, and though I might not start him right now, because I believe it's still obvious that he's making the transition, I can easily see the argument for him to get out there sooner rather than later.

    • QB: We should look to add a developmental QB late in the draft, IMO. Never hurts to take a shot in the 6th or 7th round. I'm not sure Plummer is that guy. Bonus if it's someone who can be a short-yardage/QB sneak threat. RB: I expect we'll sign a veteran backup and draft one on day 3. Long-term we're in great shape here if Brooks recovers fully and even if he doesn't we only need a solid #2 and some depth. WR: This is a weird position because there is legit potential with what we have on the roster if XL and Coker develop and Thielen is a known quantity at this point, but obviously not a long-term piece at his age. I almost feel like the only sure fire way to upgrade our WR corp this season is to add that true #1 guy because I'm not sure a mid-tier or aging veteran does anything but muddy the water and take snaps away from XL and Coker that they need to develop. I'm still not ruling out a big trade for a true #1 here before the draft (Tee Higgins? Brandon Ayiuk?) but we will almost surely sign at least a veteran for depth. This seems like an obvious day 2 target position in the draft as well. I like Jack Bech from TCU or Ricky White III from UNLV in the 3rd. TE: I think we're done here. I know there's been talk of drafting Tyler Warren, but I honestly don't see it. Had we not re-signed Tremble I might say there's a chance, but he's obviously our TE2 and I don't see them paying him only to draft Tyler Warren, which would put Sanders as TE2 and Tremble as TE3. I could see us maybe adding a blocking TE late in the draft, but we're probably done here. OL: We may legitimately have one of the best AND deepest OLs in the league. Bringing back both Cade Mays and Austin Corbett was a solid move, but managing to re-sign Brady Christensen is massive for depth purposes. I cannot fathom how he didn't have more interest on the open market based on his versatility alone. Even Chandler Zavala showed some signs of life last year after an awful rookie season. I can see us drafting a tackle in the 4th/5th round that we feel has some upside to develop as Taylor Moton's long-term replacement, but we finally seem set here for the first time in years. EDGE: Our biggest need and it's not close. Outside of a trade for someone like Trey Hendrickson I think we almost have to draft two edge rushers in the first 4 rounds, maybe even the first 3. The closer we get to the draft the more I'm starting to think Shemar Stewart is our likely pick at #8. I'm not sure how I feel about that given his lack of sack production, but you can't question the athletic ability. It's almost certainly either him or Jalon Walker. DL: I can see us adding some more FAs for depth before the draft and drafting a player or two as well. The real interesting scenario is if Mason Graham falls to us at #8; I don't think we can pass on him, but where would he play? Do you leave your $50M free agent (Wharton) on the bench? Unlikely since I think Graham is gone before we pick, but something to consider. LB: If there's one position I'd like to see us address other than EDGE and WR it's definitely linebacker. Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace are not exactly the most inspiring tandem, IMO. Wallace flashed last year but is still very raw and Jewell is just a guy. I'd LOVE to see us go after Carson Schwesinger from UCLA, Chris Paul, Jr. from Ole' Miss or Jack Kiser from Notre Dame in the draft. The remaining FA options aren't great. CB: I'd like to see us add an experienced nickel; Mike Hilton from the Bengals would be great. Other than that, unless someone falls to us in the draft I think the most we can expect to add is some depth in the draft or later in free agency. S: We need another starter (preferably someone who is more of a cover guy) and some depth. There are options I like in the draft, but given our other needs I think the safer bet would be signing another free agent to start at FS and drafting some depth. ST: Need a long-term kicker and unless we sign one I fully expect us to draft one on day 3.
