I read somewhere that there was some concern about his bulk for playing in the box consistently. Yes he’s 224 pounds, but he’s so tall that he has the same BMI as Jonathan Jones.Why wouldn't Obi be the future Strong Safety? Chung's replacement?
Hogan I guess if he helps the new receivers learn the route tree or if we have a bad run of preseason injuries. Sure hope our receiver core is restocked and Hogan does not make the team. He played like doo last year.
Yeah. IMO, bringing back Hogan doesn't really make sense if the team drafts WR in the top 3 rounds, unless they think their FA signings are absolute stiffs who can't even compete for WR3/WR4/WR5 slots.
As I recall from last year, all the WR's competing for roster spots are usually available for Game 1.
Hogan for $1M signing bonus is a fine insurance policy.
???
Giving him a $1m signing bonus just to fight for a spot would be a needless overpay.
Messing around with FANSPEAK, Draftplex and User Voted Needs (just random on those) and I got a top 6 I kind of like a lot...

Let's revisit my earlier post:So our insurance should be jags and late round draft choices?

I wonder if the up-and-comer on the roster at strong safety is actually Dawson. He has that more compact build like Chung, especially if he gains back the 10 pounds that his listed weight dropped between 2016 and 2018 (from 208 to 198).
It would be hard to better that mock although Allen AND Nelson is a little redundant and I really don’t see Sternberger lasting that long. But those are all prospects I want.
