Honest position by position thoughts

[jobberone]

The most questionable position for me isn't the entire DL but the DT position.

Yeah, I was feeling ok about the interior and worried about the ends. Now the opposite. Just goes to show how quickly things can turn with injuries and the like.

I've been expecting more from McClain but injuries kept him down. Crawford is doing as I expected; very solid. Brent....oh well. Hayden...meh. We have several who may be able to play the 3. Mincey I expect to move inside as a 3 and can play outside in rotation as well and may get a lot of snaps at SDE.

We are weak up the middle which creates not just problems stopping the rush with the DL but leaves the LBs uncovered too much.

We need some depth in the middle.

Hayden...meh.

You're too kind by far.

QB - Tony Romo was the MVP of the league in my opinion last year, had a better year than Rodgers. Wish we got Colt Mccoy as our backup though.
HB - Wished we got Spiller, and think now is the time to get Adrian Peterson. Wondering if we're waiting for a trade in June involving Carr. Hope Dunbar is more heavily involved in the passing game this year.
WR - Love this group. Hoping Street can show some things in limited playing time. Hope Beasley is heavily involved, and hope that Williams evolves. Hope he has been working with the jugs machine.
TE - Hope they get Escobar more involved. Hope they get some value for Hanna rather than letting him walk next year. Really like Swaim, think he has potential to be a great TE2.
OL - Just amazing that we got La'el Collins, just amazing. That was history being made.

DL - I think we've made great investments in the D Line. Hope Hardy doesn't see the full 10 games. Hope we don't have to watch him go to court to accomplish this.
LB - I'm very excited about this group. Lee and McClain I think are pro bowl caliber linebackers. Together I think they are going to dominate, especially with this defensive line that I think is going to give offensive linemen fits.
DBs - I think they'll be better with a much better pass rush, but I'm still waiting to see what happens with the corners. It's looking pretty messy right now.

I don't get the TWill hate... He was like the 5th option... And he saved the Seattle game..

I think Hayden is significantly better than most think here. But he's still marginal to average closer to marginal. He is imminently replaceable. Right now he still has a job which doesn't say much about the interior as @MichaelWinicki said earlier.

1. QB - Do we keep Weeden or does Vaughan show enough that we only keep 2
2. DL - T Crawford and who else? I think Gardner moves inside. So we have Gardner, Whaley, J Crawford, Bishop, McClain and ...................... Hayden. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The day that we don't have Hayden and Mincey on this team is a day that we've taken our first step to having a very good defense. We are getting very, very close!
3. DE - Very solid now with Lawrence, Gregory, Hardy, Russell ................................. Mincey. Big question here is who gets dumped when Hardy comes back. Mincey better be ready to compete or else his age and the fact that he's a FA next year could see him gone.
4. CB - What to do with Carr? Will Claiborne came back at full strength, meaning nickel corner at best. I keep Carr. See if maybe he'll take a pay cut again, but I don't mess with the secondary. Jones stays at CB. He'll take over for Carr next year. If not this year. Mo will be gone next year. We need to develop corners for next year. Moving Jones to safety makes no sense to me. CB is more valuable than FS.
5. FS - So no Jones at Safety. Corey White should be our new FS. He's played it at the NFL level. He has all the tools to do it. It's his natural position. I like Tim Scott to make the team as well.
6. LB - Not much question here. The top 6 guys are basically locked and loaded. Question is do we keep 7 (Nzoecha)
7. RB - I think with the Leary chip in hand, Jerry makes a splash and gets us another starting quality runner. And no, not one from the land of a thousand lakes.
8. TE - I think Swaim pushes Hanna off the team.
9. WR - Goodley could be a Harris replacement. Farmer has rare measurables, but not a lot of production. They seem to like Street. I still think we only go with 5, so Street better bring it to camp or he may be out.

I really like Tim Scott. Being a huge Tar Heel fan aside I really liked Tre Boston last year and thought he played decent for Panthers as a rookie. I think Scott makes the team as well, was really stocked we got him.

Having Scott make it week allow us to use Jones at corner. Worst case Jones plays FS and Wilcox at SS and grabbing another CB next season.

Forgetting about where Claiborne was drafted I think as a 3rd or 4th corner he can be alright there. Hopefully he stays healthy and can get his confidence back
