I’d claim Izzy & the DE McGregor in a Heartbeat.

GB’s Day-3 & UDFA WRs >>> our top-100 stiffs.

They cut a 2021 2nd round pick? Can’t be. I’ve been assured by so many here that BB was the only one who missed on draft picks in rounds 1-3.

Waiting for a team to cut a 2021 1st round QB!

I hope JC gets the help he needs. As a player he's nothing more than reserve at this point.

If the Jets try to get McGregor to the PS, the Pats should give him a serious look.

Easy to do when no one is blocking you..

There are two categories of team needs:

1) Starter level needs, where you lack guys that belong on the top of the depth chart

2) Depth level needs, where you need guys on the end of the depth chart

Everyone knows we need a starting caliber LT. That's a category 1 need. WR is another one where we have a lot of guys to fill out the depth chart but lack anyone to headline it.

We lack reliable 3rd options at RB and TE. Those are level 2 needs. The top of those depth charts are fine, but it gets shaky when you go down it.

I don't think the waiver wire is where we're going to find category 1 need solutions. Teams aren't cutting guys who will come in and be our #1 WR. I know people here hate on Lowe and Okorafor but they're roster-worthy players so teams aren't going to be cutting a ton of guys better. Obviously scour the market for someone who you have a good scouting report for, but expecting guys better than we have at these spots is unlikely IMO because for as much griping as there are over the top of our depth charts, I think we have full depth charts of NFL caliber players believe it or not.

The category 2 needs are where I think we can find some answers. I'm sure there's some team that has running backs better than Kevin Harris or Hasty. I bet there's someone who has a 3rd TE better than Bell or Wilcox. Upgrades at those spots are more in line with the caliber of player teams will be cutting IMO.
