Is it just me or does it feel like there's a lot of O-linemen in these visits? 🤔

All of them thus far are late round UFA types.  Remember, we don't have another pick after round 5, so we have a lot of roster to fill with UDFAs.  Also, can't really burn one of our 4 remaining picks (after QB) on a backup lineman despite needing a couple.

Pulled this from Walter today--he is usually missing a few:

  • Anthony Bradford^, Offensive Tackle, LSU (COM, PRI) (Probably projects to G in the NFL---I would like this pick in round 4 or after--not sure he will be there)
  • Julius Brents, Cornerback, Kansas State (COM)  (most teams like this CB)
  • Charlie Jones, Wide Receiver, Purdue (PRI)  (I see this as a solid signing if we do it)
  • Will Levis^, Quarterback, Kentucky (PRI, PRO) (Why waste time on Levis?)
  • Jonathan Mingo, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss (PRI)  (Strong WR candidate that could be a better pro than college player)
  • B.J. Ojulari, Defensive End, LSU (PRI) I see this as a strong possibilty--also watch Felix from Kansas State)
  • Bumper Pool, Linebacker, Arkansas (PRI)  (Panthers will sign this guy--maybe as an undrafted free agent)
  • Joey Porter Jr., Cornerback, Penn State (PRI)  (unless we wheel and deal, this ain't happening)
  • Anthony Richardson^, Quarterback, Florida (COM, PRI, PRO)  (3 contacts---doing our homework on AR15)
  • Drew Sanders, Linebacker, Arkansas (COM)  (Possibly at 39 if Luvu goes to Edge)
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Wide Receiver, Ohio State (PRI) (only if we trade up a lot)
  • C.J. Stroud^, Quarterback, Ohio State (PRI, PRO)
  • Bryce Young^, Quarterback, Alabama (PRI, PRO)
  • Chandler Zavala, Offensive Guard, N.C. State (PRI)(I have seen him as early as round 3--80" wingspan at 322 lbs--nice)

I just don't understand why?  

Due diligence. Just doing the homework.  You meet someone one day briefly and make first impressions. Second time and spend more time you can form a better all around view of them.

It also gets them in the building and you get to see how they interact with other folks that might not be a part of the scouting process.

Side Note: No indication this guy is visiting with us, but after seeing the name his parents have him, Bumper Pool doesn't sound quite as rough.

 

yep. Reminds me of a boy named SUE by Johnny cash. It's a good thing he like 6'4" and right at 300lbs.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
