Nobody is guaranteed a roster spot, but I think Watkins is just a bridge player, think they would like to keep both prospects. As for Hill, think the staff is higher on him then the fanbase, but I think it's a numbers game now. Both Gallimore/Osa also can play either spot, however, who do they have if 1 goes down? Think the spot could come down to Hill or Basham. Basham, like Watkins is more of a bridge player, but Hill doesn't look to be apart of the team's future core.

- You're right, we're not carry three 1 tech types on roster,

- In an injury or CoVid situation, Gallimore and Osa would have to move over in a pinch.
I don't like Gallimore as a permanent 1 tech, but it bares watching as Quinn may like to pair both Osa/Gallimore at same time.

- While Hill is a 3 tech, he like Osa/Neville could flex to 1 tech.
Some here are hostile vs Hill because he's disappoint as a 2nd rd. pick ala maturity and ACL injury issues
But Hill is a better player than Bohanna - who showed me nothing as a rookie, but maybe it's about his
potential and development with Quinn coaches.

Gallimore's injury hampered his development, he miss practically most of the reg. season with a mysterious elbow injury that was much worse than what the club wanted to let on, imo.

It's harder to replace and gain interior players than it is edge players.

Well actually and let's face it realistically certain players are guaranteed a roster spot - ala Parson and Diggs...

Watkins is a vet who has now been in Quinn's system. He's decent at best, but he's really far
more suited as a rotation guy.- he's just not a difference maker.

We are needing players who can change and alter how offense have to play against us.
People like prime Snack Harrison, Vita Vea, ..they change how you want to run the ball, they
force you to detour outside on the edges when its impossible to run inside.

You simply cannot out muscle- out physical them, .. we'll have that problem with Philly's Jordan Davis
and Hargrove now ..
Potentially the likes of Smith/Ridgeway who I saw as a day 2 prospect, gives us a chance.

Unless they keep more numbers, I think Basham could be the odd man out and probably Bohanna is ps bound.

We keep usual 10 guy DL unit:

Defensive Ends
1) Dlaw
2) Williams
3) Gholston
4) Armstrong
5) Fowler

Defensive Tackles
6) Osa
7) Gallimore
8) Watkins
9) Hill
10) Ridgeway ?

Bohanna (practice squad ?)

- Basham and Bohanna are early projection odds out, imo.
