I get it with Muse, but let’s give the rookie a bit longer than one half of professional football….. the problem is that just like Muse, he is a guy taken with a day 2 pick (usually expected to contribute early) who is undergoing a position change. same problems with Muse, Bowden, and now Deablo. doesnt help and not his fault that he got hurt, but was a project to begin with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that’s taking instant gratification to an absurd level. If anybody needs to be cut its Muse and Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That literally happens every year to like 300 guys. And that's literally the point being made- the only reason Deablo is making an otherwise bad roster is 100% based on his draft pedigree and nothing he has actually done. Had he been a UDFA and not a draft pick, it would be absurd to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a roster spot because the coaches (including Gus Bradley) believe he has the potential to become a good player - which is why they picked him in the third round. And I expect they will want to give him time, or at least more than a preseason in which he was injured and half a preseason game to find out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) maybe we could still use KJ Wright after all. Perryman is MLB depth but doesnt address our OLB which at this point is Littleton and then scraps. can cut Jalen. can partially restructure Carr get it done Edited August 29, 2021 by Turnobili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen Bradley develop other guys like Deablo into good players in the past. But it doesn't really make sense to carry two on the 53 man roster when neither can really contribute outside of special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I was livid at the draft. We use early picks on projects. Koonce and Deablo are deep depth. Molden and Tufele? The guys I pounded the table for? They'd be starters on this squad.

They'd be starters on this squad. i would have given both 3rd and then some to move back up into the late 2nd when JOK was falling past 50. he would have been perfect for this defense. i dont dislike the Koonce pick though, rotational pass rusher with some juice on tape. he just hasnt looked that good in preseason. but i'm ok with that process. its really the deablo pick that bothered me when we still had Muse Edited August 29, 2021 by Turnobili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could've also given up the picks we used on Bowden/Muse to move back into the late 2nd round for Jeremy Chinn, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
