He think Corral makes it....one of the bubble players but gets in...read the last part of the post.

Got it, but I don't want Corral to make it.  The only way he does is due to his draft status, which is dumb.  The reason he's getting so much playing time is a) to see what Matt actually has and b) if we part ways possibly a trade to get something out of him rather that an outright cut.  Even if he makes it through waivers, PS guys can get signed away at any time.   I honestly don't think the staff wants to carry 3 QBs, but giving up on a 3rd round pick in year two without any compensation kinda sucks too.

I feel better about the roster with the Troy Hill signing.  Even with that, there's a lot riding on Donte Jackson being able to stay remotely healthy (which has been an issue) with the CB group.  With Donte's injury history (and Jaycee's to a lesser extent), it was a welcome addition.

I feel pretty good about the defense overall.  The McCall cut was certainly a surprise, but in retrospect, the team has brought in a lot of interior defensive players over the past month so the team must have still been sorting behind the scenes.

I think we are still a little traumatized and apprehensive about the last 3-4 the Panthers ran in 2019, and how we were good rushing the passer that year but couldn't stop the run to save our lives.

I think Shi ultimately makes the roster as WR6.  Blackshear could be our primary KR & PR.

We will definitely keep 9 OL (maybe 10).  I think unless we pick up someone from the outside, it's going to be what @MillionDollarCamsaid earlier:

Ekwonu, Christensen, Bozeman, Zavala, Moton, Mays, Erving, Jensen, and McCray.

McCray gets cut when Corbett is activated.

OR if Corbett is activated right away because they think he’ll be back before week four then McCray gets cut outright.

I hope Barno makes the roster- I think he has earned it.  Hopefully, we can keep Kobe Jones & Eku Leota around on the PS.

Only other intrigue to me is whether we keep a 4th TE/FB.  Ricci has stuck around being a good ST player and versatile.  And Stephen Sullivan has flashed as a pass catching TE.

Ultimately, this team overall is a massive unknown.  I am certainly happy with the overall strategic plan, but none of us know how this will really translate until the regular season starts...

I am confident Bryce can deliver if he has time.  Still, this is a brand new coaching staff and a LOT of new players when you stop and take inventory.

I'm excited, but I'm trying to be realistic.  If we can be in the division hunt all year, I will be happy

I would think that Corral makes it, if for nothing else, so we can have an emergency QB on standby on game days.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
