The secondary is a joke along with our interior d line.

Fair to say we are not one or two players away from a Championship?

Darian Thompson is no longer the worst safety in the nfl.
The secondary is a joke along with our interior d line.
In case anybody needed convincing as to why our offense sputters, look at the OL (other than Martin). Same for the defense. Other than DLaw, our DT/DE are why we are getting gashed. Everybody wants Jaylon cut immediately, but he is outperforming LVE. Our secondary is straight trash. Should be no surprise when you look at these grades that this team is 4-9, and probably lucky to have 4 wins.

Thanks @Hennessy_King

D Law is the 5th rated DE, yet the narrative is he predominantly plays standing up in a 3-4 (neither of which are true) and it doesn't suit him.

He does stand up in this scheme though and just because he grades well doesn't mean it fits him. That's just a credit to how good he is.
He doesn't stand up that much and a top 5 ranking at that position suggests it does suit him or rather he is versatile

I told yal all those young linebackers look trash while yall want to hype up Parsons being the pick. All the top 10 linebackers past 5 years have worse grades than Jaylon. Run amd hit linebacker doesnt mean anything if you dont know where the ball is

Looking at this data critically and without any concern for the guys I am cutting....

QB:
I'm set with Dak. Top 10 guy even behind a tragically bad OL? Easy call.
I'd extend Gilbert now. Dalton is rated 25th which may be about where he actually falls. He can go get a stop gap starters job somewhere for 7-10M.
DiNucci is a fine practice squad QB.

RB:
Zeke is gonna return because it's cheaper to keep him. But RB tend to go one direction and his decline hasn't been pretty. He need sot talking to Emmitt Smith about how to proiong his career. When they 100B rights deal kicks in, he is getting released.
TP: He has shown flashes of elite speed and desire. But he's lacking on about 75% of all touches. Vision and feel just not quite there yet.
I need a 3rd back. Fresh backs are harder to defend and less predictable.

WR:
Amari is legit.
CeeDee was an ace selection
Gallup will re-emerge as a top 10 deep threat when Dak returns.
Depth is pretty grand here.

TE:
Team strength here.
Jarwin is a good receiving TE and Schultz has shown a very solid overall level of play.
Bell won a SB as a 3rd TE...

OL:
Tyron is breaking down and my heart but he's gotten nearly a full year of rest now. I just can't cut him and let him go make All Pro for someone else.
CWill has grade out well and he has added strength. He's a keeper.
Biadasz looks like the future here. Cheap and all upside.
Martin is elite at every position.
McGovern is a starter quality OG. I'm overly happy if he's my 3rd OG.
La'el Collins is a Pro bowl caliber guy is he's healthy. Can he play LT?
Steele and Knight are fighting for roster spots next year.
Cam Erving is a solid swing OT in talent but can we count on him? I mean I need my swing to play through all but death as he's my last line of defense.

Defense:
whewwwwww

DL:
DLaw is elite. I can't build a defense that doesn't cater to him.
I need alllllll the DTs. Hill and Gallimore will be back and cheap so they can be rotation guys.
Gregory is very solid.
Aldon has to take a team friendly deal.

LB:
Jaylon is limited but he's a keeper.
LVE is going t get to play out his rookie deal at least but I don;t know if his body can handle the league. --this dude being more brittle than Jaylon or Myles Jack is why I have trust issues.
Sean Lee will make a fine coach.
I need a 3rd legit LB. Preferably one that can start as a rookie. But that's a pick 50-100 value not top 10.

CB:
Diggs is fine but to me he is CB2. Gives up some plays but makes some as well.
I need a CB1. I need an R1 CB. Give me Surtain or Farley and I love my teams physicality at CB then.
AB is signed and is a good CB3. He is ideal in slot but can move outside to help when needed.
JLew is tough as nails but his coverage is pretty meh. I mean he may be cheap to resign and of so great. But I can't spend any real cap cash here.

What even are safeties?
Donovan Wilson looks like a solid option here but I'm not sure he is a long-term starter.
XWoods has slammed on his brakes on the highway. He was a solid coverage guy who came up and tackled. Now he takes bad angles and blows coverages....
No need to mention the other guys as they are only back to play special teams or provide scout team work as a practice squadder.

You know I came across this when I was trying to get a gauge at what other teams linebackers are doing.......there just doesn't seem to be much good linebacker play around the league. People are overly critical of Jaylon based on what I guess Luke Kuechly was.....

Look at the grades of some of these guys drafted.......

Patrick Queen has a 28 PFF rating....I don't even know how you do that. I thought if you just suit up you get at least 50.....I've never seen someone with that low of a grade at linebacker before.
Devin Bush - 59.7
Roquan Smith - 63.7
Tremaine Edmunds - 46.2
Rashaan Evans - 54.9
Jarrad Davis - 76.7

This is a sad list and scary. No one mentions this when they talk about Jaylon or talk about getting a linebacker....there isn't good linebacker play in this league. If you can find one with a 80 PFF rating or higher you found a unicorn.

Wagner is like 84. Thats a killer right there but yeah, I'm not drafting a linebacker top 10. Dont forget Devin White also with his 39 grade

Jaylon hasnt been good but linebacker play period hasnt been good in the nfl. Wagner is still great and a few others according to pff.

Wagner is like 84. Thats a killer right there but yeah, I'm not drafting a linebacker top 10.
Well and that's another thing I noticed.....two guys I Could find that are doing well who weren't top 10 were Darius Leonard and Bobby Wagner. Leonard was a 2nd rounder just like Wagner. Myles Jack as well. 2nd rounder......
