Roster Prediction 1.0

Icky holding out?

I had read no, but then read him not being in for much and him talking about his agent is working things out. So was a bit confused

 

He's not holding out, he's letting his agent deal with contract talks. We picked up his fifth year option also.

 

Barno cut loose

 

Yeah, we didn't see that coming.


Honestly, anyone left over is probably addition by subtraction. Jewell had a lot to do with the team having a historically bad run defense.

 

They've brought in multiple shorter, stockier TEs, which makes me think they're considering a fullback hybrid. Canales actually started using Sanders as his I formation FB down the stretch, but I think we'd all rather have him catching passes.



The traditional Fullback as we knew it growing up is basically dead, but teams are slowly reinventing the position. McVay uses a WR there, for instance.

 

Look like Tarzan. Play like Jane.

 

Was looking at last year, they kept 7 Wr's & 3 TE's... They could keep 8 WR's and 2 TE's while waiting on Tremble to get back.

Horn Jr should have the PR spot locked up. Renfro been lighting it up per the internet. I think Moore is the last guy in.

Wonder how XL would look at the TE position?

 

XL already isn't known for his blocking. He would get destroyed in the running game.

 

New depth chart is out. Bold is who I think sticks to the final roster. Italics are a rookie

Yeah, I think Coker makes it, especially since he's apparently settling into a special teams role. Keeping Thielen and Renfrow is hilarious, but it seems like we're heading that way. Maybe Thielen plays out wide a bit more this year. I don't think he's ever been good in the slot unless it's something down the field. Renfrow was awesome at the underneath shit in Vegas.
