Is he a ST ace or did we just sign him because he’s TJ’s brother. He is a really good ST player BUT he is also actually a much better Run Blocker imo than Roosevelt Nix.

I loved Rosie’s toughness. I think he was a true tone setter. I do think his run blocking was kind of overrated. Watt looks like he might not have quite the power in his game as Rosie, but he looks considerably more athletic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mostly Watt wins on blocks with that athleticism and better leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 If we had a better OC I wouldn’t mind going light on TE, keeping Nix, and getting creative with Watt and Nix as FB/HB and use more Banner/Chucks at a third TE. But, sadly, we have Randy Fichtner. So, just cut Rosie and make it quick and painless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigben07MVP Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I would love to sign Billings and draft Cushenberry III if he’s there in the 2nd. With Foster and Finney both out of the picture, left guard is all of a sudden a glaring need. Are there any startable/affordable guards left in free agency? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I’m happy with this. Keep as much continuity on defense as possible (minus Hargrave). No reason to change anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I wasnt surprised by Watt at all tbh. I'm thrilled with it. I'm satisfied with everything so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE/WR (depth) You’re forgetting S depth...I’d rate it pretty high on a needs list. Theyll bring in a vet FA to fill one of these spots...possibly 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE/WR (depth) I'll nitpick a little....If Banner was signed to play RT and Feiler moves to LG those 2 positions are solid with OG needing only depth. That of course assumes Banner (or Chuks) are ready to be the full time RT. I would then push ILB up to need #1B. Again, assuming they are looking for a "Baron" type to "start". It's getting interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting interesting. I just don’t know how I feel about sliding Feiler to guard. Of course that is an option but using our top pick on starting left guard creates a much better scenario with more continuity. If Cushenberry or Ruiz are there I think we have to take them.
