First, the O...
There’s 3 intriguing QB’s competing to be Goff’s backup, plus a rumored possibility of re-signing Bortles. Most important position on the team has multiple backup options.
At RB I see Akers/Hendy sharing most of the snaps, but Brown and this Xavier Jones kid should provide quality depth behind them.
There are 15 players competing for 5 starting positions on the OL. Including a now healthy Blythe and Hav. All coached by Kromer. Color me cautiously optimistic there.
I see WR as at least 4 deep with top quality starting caliber players. With Webster and others behind them.
TE might now be a team strength position with the addition of Hopkins. Gonna be some tough final cuts at TE come September, I think.
Now the D...
The DL starters look impressive with 3 more quality and versatile backups behind them, all carryovers from last years roster. I LOVE this DL, especially against the run in the NFC West.
Edge should be fine on Floyd’s side and I see 4-5 promising players on the opposite side. I like Barry’s chances of coming up with an effective rotation at Edge. Fierce competition there, actually.
ILB has yet to prove itself, but there is no shortage of competition, that’s for sure. I’m guessing Kiser and Young/Howard in base, but stay tuned.
CB? Are you kidding me? Among the best and deepest in the league, hands down.
S? Here again, at least 3 deep with competition behind them.
Lastly, the ST...
We have 3 top PK candidates competing to replace the departed GZ. THREE! And all 3 with impressive resumes. So impressive that nobody can handicap their respective chances. Amazing.
Like I said earlier, this roster competition is the result of some ‘real fine’ planning on the part of Snead/McVay despite lacking a 1st rounder, losing some quality UFA’s, and being up against the cap. Holes are few and far between with solid competition waiting in the wings.
Color me impressed. Even worth a Hot Damn!
