Shouldn't it be more like what is Wilson's best position?
He's a rookie.
If he's really good, let him get him feet wet at the position he's most comfortable.

My how the turntables have... turned tabled...
Wilson has been at C, LG, and RG.
Way too early to get excited about Polk or Baker. That said, we still have over a month until week 1. If (huge if) either or both can keep the momentum going, I would not be heart broken to see Bourne go. Good dude for sure, but he is what he is and he's not getting younger. I think we've seen his ceiling and it wasn't all that impressive. Certainly not ready to kick him to the curb yet, but I will not be surprised one bit if he's not here week 1.
Yeah, I am making an assumption that his camp flashes translate to preseason flashes. If not then you are likely correct.
Polk realistically should have a decently high floor with halfway decent coaching, last season is likely an anomaly. I think he probably makes the team unless something goes wrong, and he carves out a role backing up at Z/slot behind Diggs and Pop. Boutte is the top X with Williams backing him up. Baker will get every opportunity to prove he deserves a roster spot. That all assumes Hollins stays on PUP also.
They just reported that Strange was one of the off-season award winners.
By all accounts Strange has been fine and doing his job. Wilson has just been pushing him because he’s looked so good.
Yes, I would prefer one or both of Polk and Baker over Bourne if they can show something in the next few weeks. I hope they do, but obv that is still highly in doubt. Last year's team was a complete ****show top to bottom, so I won't hold that completely against them, but I also won't completely absolve them of blame. Big next few weeks for those 2, hope to see something.
Chism isn't making it to the PS. He'll get scooped up the way Grugier-Hill did.
If he stacks some days and shows out in Preseason I agree 100%. I don't think we can sneak him thru waivers unless he has a really quiet few weeks here.
Chism elevated as a WR?
He'll get lots of opportunities in Game 3 against the scrubs. Some team will likely pick him up if he does well.
I do not think any team will hire him as a HC again
I think we also need to remember that this is the time for experimenting. Strange may be written out of the script for the moment so they can see how versatile Wilson is, because there’s a lot of film and familiarity with Strange, much more than there is on Wilson. Do I’m not going to be surprised if what we see late in training camp and for the season opener is totally different from what we’re seeing now. Wilson’s versatility may make him too valuable as a backup for him to be a starter anywhere on the IOL, especially as an unseasoned rookie, for example.
DJ is emerging as a nice surprise at CB. Austin has seemed to be the top CB behind the three starters, but DJ may be giving him a run for that. And I think both Bolden and Dial have been showing something as well. Having Gonzo and Davis sidelined just gives the kids more time to show their stuff. It will be interesting to see who emerges as tops among them.
I expect the starting OL will turn out to be Campbell-Strange-Bradbury-Owenu-Moses, with Wilson #1 backup for all three IOL positions. Sow will also rotate with Wilson on the IOL, and Lowe, Bryant, and Wallace will be the other OL on the roster.
