Specifically UDFAs who all didn't make NFL rosters initially. I think that is the even more incredible thing. Each of those guys went undrafted, didn't make rosters, and didn't accrue full NFL seasons. The team legitimately developed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Minor tweaks to our roster I think we need to add: Speed rusher to groom behind Dee Ford Pass catching running back Redzone lengthy pass catcher (hopefully Jalen Hurd but this could be TE3, still not happy we cut Kaden Smith, felt like he was that guy) Young NT to groom behind DJ Jones (Sheldon day, Mitchel replacement/upgrade) SS competition (Marcell Harris started horribly but got better each week until tartt came back, I want to bring in someone young/middling vet to push him in camp at least) G depth Slot corner depth to push DJ Reed These are things outside of the super obvious moves like adding a FS for depth if ward leaves or adding some sort of WR if Sanders isn't on our team. At a minimum, I want UDFAs in these spots with upside. Could be ring chasing vets too that fit our culture 7 hours ago, y2lamanaki said: Specifically UDFAs who all didn't make NFL rosters initially.

Feels so good to have the scouts to be able to find a certain type of player to fit a specific role and to have a coaching staff that knows how to put them in the right place. One plan, one vision. So refreshing It also helps that we were so crappy that udfas were naturally going to get more attention from the coaches and more reps in practice. Sometimes guys just need the opportunity This business model is basically what NE has done ---> superior scheme ---> every player with a specific role/job ---> acquire talent from "obscure" seemly random places .... They have tended to not pay players as well, we have overpaid players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Kaden Smith a lot, especially the value of where he was picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't bring back Ward, then Moore will be the guy at FS. Shanny/Lynch are drafting DL/OL/WR in round one take it to the bank. Even if we trade down they targeting those positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I am hoping for! A TE would be nice as well. In fact, I vote Claypool! I see some Kittle in him...the guy can be tough to bring down.

Even if that vet is a little long in the tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they let Ward go, the team isn't going to panic or anything. They know they have a guy that can take over for him on the roster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after the SB they asked him what "they" need to do to get back, and he was like I don't even know if I will be back, so have to ask them LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
