Resources allocated to OL. WR Core of Bourne, Meyers, Parker, Thornton TE Henry.
OL - mandatory. Wynn is gone. Trent Brown should be gone, but may survive based on who we can go out and find. Conor McDermott should be given a bonus for what he was able to do to give us a breather from the worst stretch of RT play I can remember for this team over a span of 3 guys, but he's not what you want as a starter. He showed excellent quickness to the 2nd level but
isn't dependable in pass pro. He is regularly tossed aside by NFL tough guys, but I expect we'll give him a chance to make the roster.
I've given up the ghost on Yodny Cajuste, which is a pity. He's a good run blocker, who can't pass block worth a damn. We'll finally get a look at the kid from Michigan, but it's clear that we need AT LEAST one talented LT that can not only play but remember what the fucking snap count is on a steady basis. This appeared to be a very poorly-coached unit who is in need of somebody that
understands that particular job and do it well.
The WR room is going to change in a major way as well.
Agholor is history because he won't cost us much to release and that will be addition by subtraction. He was awful.
Parker has had his moments, but seems to get hurt on routine hits. I believe his body has just given out on him and I'd like to
see him gone.
I've come to believe that Bourne is about half-nuts and probably drives the staff crazy. If there was a way to know who was running
the wrong routes, I think he'd lead this group by a wide margin. Talented athlete, but I think he might have a learning disability of some
sort. Too many flags, but if we could just reach him somehow he might be worth another shot.
I'm not on team Meyers. If he was affordable, then I'd definitely want to keep him, but given the astronomical contracts handed out to
anybody that can produce at WR last season then I don't expect we'll have that option.
Thornton turned out to be pretty green, but at some point next season he will figure out what the stripes on a field are for and become
somebody that can demand respect. He didn't get there this year, but who can really say how much of that was due to the fact that
nobody seemed to know what was expected of them in our Offense. He figures to be much better this coming season. I'm not worried
about 2022 anymore.
One thing that would really help us there is if Mighty Mouse Jones had a twin brother. It's a damn shame that he can't play every snap
because he put the fear of God into Defenses with only a handful of actual touches. It's almost too bad that he has proven so useful
at so many things, because he would be huge asset for Mac and the Offense. He was our rookie of the year. Hands down.
Based on 20 minutes looking at the FA list it appears that we will need to draft a kid that can really play. There isn't a lot of top-tier
proven talent to use our cash surplus on
