Ja’Lynn Polk looks like he’s carving himself out a role with the first team and is looking to be a Week 1 starter. Has been maybe the most impressive guy thus far, early in camp.

Javon Baker has been looking really strong as well.

From what I can gather from the Jets beat:

  • 1 (11): T Olumuyiwa Fashanu: Aaron Rodgers is back making throws
  • 3 (65): WR Malachi Corley: Aaron Rodgers looking good
  • 4 (134): RB Braelon Allen: Hopefully Rodgers plays all season
  • 5 (171): QB Jordan Travis: If Aaron Rodgers stays healthy, we Jets really have a shot at the SB
  • 5 (173): RB Isaiah Davis: Uh, Aaron Rodgers
  • 5 (176): CB Qwan'tez Stiggers: Aaron Rodgers
  • 7 (257): S Jaylen Key: And, more Aaron Rodgers

 

It's been so quiet I've honestly forgotten who all our rookies were.

About as low resolution as Lamar Jackson is in the playoffs when it matters most

It's gonna be really fun watching your 3peat die in the wildcard round.

I'll do this lol. Winner of the bet would get the signature for the entirety of the NFL playoffs.

If KC makes it past the WC round either by winning in Round 1 of the playoffs or by achieving the bye, Xmad loses. What say you @Chiefer?

We still do sigs here? I haven’t seen a sig since we switched to the new site, I figured they were gone forever

For the Titans:

JC Latham: Through OTAs and training camp, looks like he's a hard worker, already showing marked improvement, and may be exactly what the Titans needed.  Rave reviews so far.  That said, offensive line has looked pretty bad overall in practices so far, so he's not coming in at a Pro Bowl level or anything.

T'Vondre Sweat: Not a huge sample size since he sat out OTAs, but he's been slotted in as a starter and showing people moving ability already.  Also might have showed a little conditioning concern depending on who you ask.

Jarvis Brownlee: Getting first team reps with Awuzie injured. Looking good so far.

Jha'Quan Jackson: Reps in the depth chart and doing some kick returning, but not really much to say.

Jaylen Harrell: Seems to have separated himself from the other back of the roster Edges, so looks like almost a lock to be Edge 4.

UDFA Gabe Juedy-Lally was the talk of OTAs, and while he's still far back in the depth chart, he gets lots of love from beat writers.  Very good chance to make the roster, especially now with Awuzie out for a time.

Crickets on Cedric Gray and James Williams.

Pads just came out yesterday, so take it with a grain of salt but

 

1.  Amarius Mims.  Has been getting a ton of first team reps with the team easing Trent Brown in slowly (tightness).  Looks like a sponge taking it all in.  teammates raving, coaches giving him daily nods in interviews.

2.  Kris Jenkins and 3b McKinnley Jackson  Not much to share as pads just coming out

3.  Jermaine Burton.  Has looked every pit the part of Higgins' future replacement and has looked good in the slot.  He has the tools.  Now looking for maturuity if/when he faces adversity.

4.  Erick All   Just activated, but might be the future starter sooner than later, especially since he's the most well rounded TE on the roster.

5.  Josh Newman  Haven't heard much yet, currently running with the twos.  Hasn't been lit up yet either, so.............

6.  Tanner MacLachlin, Cedric Johnson, Daijahn Anthony  No buzz yet on any of the three

Graham Barton has taken over as the starting C and has impressed everyone as expected.

Braswell has shown flashes, he's competing with for a starting outside spot right now but I think he will be a bench guy to start.

McMillian has had a great off-season and will be the #3 WR after Evans/Godwin. Looking forward to seeing him produce right out the gate.

CB Quinyon Mitchell, could easily start, but Slay, Isaiah Rodgers, and Kelee Ringo are all just absolutely showing out right now, but he might get time in the slot this season just to get him on the field.
CB Cooper DeJean, suffered a minor injury that's gonna sideline him for training camp.
EDGE Jalyx Hunt, has had some really good days, even got reps with the starting team at times.
RB Will Shipley, more or less as expected, will be a roleplayer and seems to be doing well within his role behind SaQuon
WR Ainias Smith, probably the most disappointing draftee so far, most likely to get released, not really been a factor at all so far.
LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr., made some splash plays, bubble player for Practice Squad or 53 man roster IMO.
G Trevor Keegan, looked alright, has filled in in spots due to minor injuries, should be solid depth this year, we'll see if he amounts to anything moving forward.
WR Johnny Wilson, looking like a steal right now, getting an opportunity to earn the WR3 job behind AJ and DeVonta, his size is a huge mismatch factor. He's staying at WR.
C Dylan McMahon, looks like he'll be the backup Center. Don't know if he'll ever get a chance to start here, but he had Kelce's praise during the offseason. Haven't heard much about him all in all.

- CB Kamari Lassiter might be the star of training camp. He's already running with the 1st team and has been getting personal mentoring from WR Stefon Diggs in how to properly position and play against high level WR talent. Derek Stingley is still the top guy, but Lassiter might end up being the better CB very soon. The term used to describe him is "belligerent at the catch point" and I think it's apt; He's going to frustrate a lot of WRs.

- OT Blake Fisher is still figuring things out. He's got a handful with the DEs he has to work against every day (Terminator, the Hunter, Derek Barnett, Jerry Hughes) and it shows. He should be ready to take on a role next season (or whenever Tytus Howard gets injured).

- S Calen Bullock is getting a lot of run in nickel situations, when S Jalen Pitre drops into the box/slot as a big NB. He plays well deep and is probably going to play a lot early and often.

- TE Cade Stover is *exactly* what everyone thought he'd be when reuniting with CJ Stroud. By Y3, he's going to be producing at an elite level.

- LB Jamal Hill is a ghost.

- RB Jahwar Jordan is rarely seen, but is quick when he is seen.

- Edge Solomon Byrd is hardly seen.

- DT Marcus Harris has been noticable. Really quick, fast twitch guy with active hands. He's winning reps, and could see quick PT with Denico Autry out for six games.

That's high praise considering how good Stingley was last year! I think your team makes the AFC Conference Game this year.
