Thanks for the rent free space in your head.

Maybe one day you will be able to handle a message board discussion.

My money is on Roy, who look really good in limited play last year; Franklin, ditto; Bonnefon, in the unlikely scenario CMC is traded I see Bonnefon as the backup and taking on a lot more snaps as the year goes on and Davis starts slowing down (if last year is any indicator); and Miller, who is entering his second season and looked good at times his rookie year. 

Roy really improved over the course of the year after looking pretty bad in his first couple of games of action. We definitely need to seek out a starting caliber DT like Kerr to put next to Brown but I think Roy might be able to be a valuable two deep guy for a few years here. If so, he is the kind of pick that help make this rebuilding effort happen. Getting a productive rotational guy out of a 6th round pick is a home run, without any question. 

I am not particularly high on Bonnafon. He spent a lot of time shuttling back and forth from the PS and the active roster but was also banged up a lot in 2020. Ideally, we sign someone or draft someone to replace Davis and perhaps Reggie competes for a 3rd string role on the team. I know Bonnafon has some Huddle fans but he really just looks like the typical PS JAG that we kind of tend of overhype for 2-3 seasons before moving on.

Bonnefon had some really good runs. If he could just get those balance problems under control he could be a legit RB2 in my opinion. He does lose balance way too easily though.

This dood thinks cynicism doubles as a personality a personality and makes him sound pragmatic, imagine following football to be negative

He even uses internet put downs from 2013 to make his point lol try harder for pie

I don't think the staff views him that way considering even when he was healthy he was a PS guy.

It would be nice for that to be the case, however. He costs nickels.

ive seen nothing from pride that says he can be a big time player

I think he was pretty good for a 4th rounder, thrown to the wolves, without a strong supporting class. I think (hope) that he steps up to starter level this season, but he has the potential to be a solid backup at least.

There was a game where we were playing that 7th rounder Thomas-Oliver where the commentators kept accidentally calling him Pride.  And STO had a baaad game.

Pride played pretty sticky and had some good breakups. 

[Moo Daeng]

Pride making strides would be extremely helpful. As with YGM and Roy. Though this is obvious.

Absolutely. Between him and Kerr being better than expected, we had a much better IDL than I expected, especially after losing KK. Grabbing a FA or mid-round pick DT that can pass rush would be idea. Hitting on your late picks is how good teams stay good. We're lucky that Rhule knew what kind of player he could be.

A lot of fans are sleeping on Miller.

I really believe with a nonCOVID offseason last year Roy would have been a 3rd or 4th round pick.
