Surprise cuts this camp?

[Triumph]

IF Maye fails with Diggs - Pop Douglas and the overpriced H Henry it's on him. No Defense should be able to cover all three Consistently: and I didn't even mention T Henderson.

There will be excuses.

The OL will get the most blame even though the QB holds the ball too long.

Disagree. Running backs are the best value in football. The Eagles paid Saquon Barkley less than the Titans paid Calvin Ridley and he led them to a Lombardi. On the other hand dogshit wide receivers are getting 20 million + a season. What you should pay is good football players. I have been supportive of Wolf in general, but his biggest mistakes would have been getting what he wanted when he went after Ridley and Aiyuk, neither of whom were worth what he was willing to give up for them.

Barkley is the outlier. Barkley benefited from a great offensive line, arguably the best receiver in football and a number two receiver better than some team's number one, and a quarterback who is a threat as an RPO option.

The Chiefs won a couple super bowls with a late round RB and one of their wins Mahomes was their leading rusher.
The Rams won with Cam Akers who has bounced around the league.
The Bucs won with another team's first round bust.
The Chiefs won with an undrafted RB.

You can say that is "value" since you don't have to invest anything in any of these guys but you can honestly flip any one of these running backs from the year before and get the same result. Giving a running back a second contract is generally a bad business move unless that RB has major upside in the passing game.

Starting to sound like Dugger is going to be the surprise cut. I’ll throw Bourne in there as well because he would be a pretty big surprise as a cut.

It would be foolish to cut Bourne: if he could go in a Month. I'll take Bourne this year over the alternatives: Polk and Baker who gives us Nothing. Also Kyle Williams is a Rookie: barefoot Mack Hollins grades out as a decent # 4 WR. IF Diggs goes down our WR situation will be like last year's close to league bottom. I don't think we can afford to cut Bourne a decent vet if healthy.

Neither one seems like a surprise at this point. Dugger almost certainly seems like he will be gone and I think Bounce may make the roster initially only to be put on IR to give them a month or so to see what they can get from the young guys.

That missed high pass to Pop Douglas stung a bit last game: QB's shouldn't miss easy throws like that.

Bounce sounds like he has some spring to his step.

What position does he play?

Starting to shape up with J. Polk, C. Wallace, L. Robinson, J. Baker, & J. Bell not making the cut. We’ve already traded J. Milton, and placed M. Dial on IR. Think about that - from the 2024 draft we’re potentially cutting our 2nd, 3rd, (2) 4th’s and 7th round picks, after trading 1 of our 6th rounders, and putting the other on Injured Reserve, This leaves us with *ONE* player standing (D. Maye) from *LAST* years draft! Remind me again who the GM for this all important draft was!?

The guy who now does what Crowden says?

The guy who now does what Crowden says?

But is still his boss?

 

[mike_usagisan]

Only in title. Vrable is his boss.

Too bad Cowden didn’t get here a year earlier….

I hope you're right, but do you have ... evidence?

I hope you're right, but do you have ... evidence?

Seems pretty obvious.

 

[signbabybrady]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Chism, although I suspect that would lead to actual protests.

Forget protests I'll punch you right in the face.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Seems pretty obvious.

Well, in that case, Vrabel looks to have made a terrible signing in Bradbury.

Yes, but he also didn't know who he was going to draft for C, so he had to have some vet on the roster.

Could have been Dave Andrews.

This is a fair point. But I will take what looks like an excellent draft class as a trade off

I hate to be 'that guy' but don't we say this every year?

In fact, I think Polk was even a pre-season stud last year.

But your point is still valid as there is reason for optimism. Let's just hope it's not fool's gold.
