I think Odigy is going to be great. I think Cox will shine. I think Joseph is going to be good. I think Izzy could be a roll player with more potential. I think Bo could fill that run stuffing roll we desperate need. I think Golston could be decent, if he makes the cut.

This is a major reason why so many have high hopes and big concerns heading into the season. We have some very talented guys coming back for year #2. And if more than not can make that leap we could have a good, deep team. If they fail to do so, we could be in trouble.

Prepare to be shocked.

Many of you have already written him off. He's under the radar and he has a chip on his shoulder. While other rookies got the accolades and the controversies, he's been studying, working his butt off. Last pre-season he got the early praise but hit that rookie wall hard. That shouldn't be a surprise, he's a low pick that needs to be groomed but he has the physical presense that Quinn covets.

Wright is going to work his way into some DB packages in the upcoming season and he will make plays,

One thing for sure, they need more than one to step up and they will get the chance on this young team.

I do think that had a lot to do with the 92 defense, just the number of opportunities and that ended up being the youngest defense to ever play at the Big Dance.

#19, what 2nd year player makes the leap.

3 different answers from them. But all 3 can and will make the leap.

More and more last years draft is looking like Parsons and not much else. If Joseph doesnt develop were looking thin in possibilities.

Amazing how in TC all we heard about was Wright, Wright, Wright, and now you dont hear a peep about him.

Still think we should have traded up with all those 3rd rounders.

Yeah and I was not high on Wright as others were. We will see come TC how it all works out.
Don’t forget about Jabril Cox though. He was doing ok until his injury.

I agree, wish we would have traded up with those 3rd round picks.

Going outside the more obvious candidates, what if Josh Ball shows up & shows out? Could really solidify our O line & give us enviable options on our final roster.
Won’t be this guy. He’s already been passed by the rookie OL we drafted late this year.

Ahh, ya'll had Randy Gregory as an All-Pro if he could just not get suspended.

Now you've switch the focus to Joseph.

It's the never ending cycle of "if only" with you guys.

"y'all", "you've", "you guys" ??????????

Paint with a wide brush much? I just pointed out how wrong you were using a proven fact / statistical chart ! If you can find a post with me pumping up Gregory as a potential All-Pro I'll leave the board for good. Deal?

Or you can continue to display your propensity as a fomenter, spreading untruths.

I think the answer might be no one. But I have a feeling if Kelvin Joseph can play this year, he is going to surprise some people. The only question is going to be if he gets a chance, which may mean an injury to someone else.

The dark horse is Josh Ball.
i think bossman is going to make the biggest leap... just waiting for a last minute 12 game suspension from the league during pre-season week...maybe they told him that if he cooperated the NFL would tread lightly with the suspension maybe not...one can hope

Defense
No including Parsons....

Odighi already had a terrific season for a rookie.
- He is well ahead of the others.

Joseph, if the off-field does not become a distraction.
- Allowed minus 2 yards receiving in his 1st start.

Jabril Cox is a perfect fit in the role Neal played as the coverage LB (LVE as the run downs LB).

Bohanna
Golston
Muk
Wright

Offense
Farniok
- Could push to start at OC.
Josh Ball
Fehoko

Farniok isnt the same player as Biadasz.

I have a feeling that Simi Fehoko will have a breakout season.. He's from Stanford University, where they play smart, tough and hardnosed brand of football. He has a knack for making plays and if he gets an opportunity, he'll make the most of it..

Hoping joesph gets better but he will for sure be suspended 6 games. That'll hurt his chances.

You are referring to Smith I assume.
Certainly they are going to give the first round pick the shot at G.
I meant Ball might come in & provide competition at T. Keep Steele on his toes and perhaps be the swing tackle with a chance to start down the road. Having a young guy with upside would give us options.
