Harris needs to be cut 

We could literally sign a UDFA off any practice squad in the league and get better results. At least they'd put in some effort.

Oof we are going to miss Shaq but nice to see DJ developing. Looks like Zavala has turned into the better guard over Brady as well 

DJ is 26 years old in a couple weeks. He should be developed already. He’ll be 29 in the first year of his second contract.

I don’t know why we keep drafting projects that are already older. Burns is in his 6th year in the league and he’s only 6 months older than DJ.

Well would you prefer he doesnt develop at all? We drafted him it’s done, let’s hope it pans out.

Exactly, we have to develop rotational players, not just starters.  Not every draft pick has to be a starter.

I coached with Dwight Hollier, former Tar Heel, Miami Dolphin and Indy Colt LB--he told me basically that the Special Teams coach is just as vocal as the DC and OC.  He said, "if you aren't starting, you better be making noise on special teams.  If you think about it, with 22 starters and 3 special teams specialists, that only leaves another 22 players or so on the active roster--the reserves, in other words.  He said if you are in that group, you better be a factor on special teams because when they cut players, they talk to the coordinators--and if you are a second teamer, the special teams coordinator's voice is just as loud as the defensive coordinator's voice. (He was probably talking from a LB perspective)

That was a factor in who was kept for the WR room as I recall.

Good stuff. If you go all the way down to 43 you can find a 6th overall pick in his 3rd season.  
 

Icky’s 17 losses matches the combined total of Hunt, Lewis, Corbett and Motion. 
I don’t see Zavala.
