Josiah Bronson - DT … UDFA 6'3 305 lbs.

Another unpolished gem worth developing perhaps?

Sure, a three technique tackle that is quick, agile, flows naturally to the ball carrier, has good hands. Great upside! And..., iirc, didn’t Malcolm Brown get drafted by the Patriots from Univ of Texas largely as a three technique tackle?

lol..., You trolling me? Trying to get me excited? He would be a good one off replacement, if he develops well, but is not an immediate starter. That being said, I have a very difficult time trying to see the large picture Dennis Allen is trying to paint. That inability keeps me on the sidelines more often than not, when it comes to player/pos’n analysis.

Bottom line, it’s very easy to hyper-analyze past productivity..., it’s VERY difficult to forecast future productivity. lol, I wish I was better in that category, sadly I’m not.

While we are on the subject of DT's …

Remember Jalen Dalton from last season? Big (6'6 300) young guy, tore his tricep at camp. Per Nick Underhill, he's back healthy and will compete against Roach.

Undrafted (as was Roach) out of North Carolina, however he was showing promise. I think we'll be just fine on that D line. Quite a few dogs.

X factor … Ryan Nielsen

.

Werner could potentially help the run defense as well if his highlights are anything to go by.

Both were UDFAs and not 1st round picks, so you have to that into account when evaluating their performances.

Imagine a (healthy) Nascar Package with
Davenport
Onyemata or Turner
Kpassagnon
Jordan

We can throw a lot at a QB!

Actually I'd leave Onyemata in at DT and run the Nascar package of

Jordan or Turner, Onyemata, Davenport, Granderson...

That's what I was going to say. All of that length and athleticism could cause some real problems.

If Turner can progress to play 50% of the snaps this year (first rounder should start Gm1), it's possible Kpassagnon doesn't make the roster, or is traded...

Anyone think we're still in need of a veteran WR and CB?

It would be wise to add another veteran corner onto the roster.

I'd prefer another boundary or outside corner for sure; another true, serviceable z-receiver wouldn't hurt either...

Also, we could use one or two more Tight Ends since Griffin is essentially an TE/Hback vs Sean's type is usually prefers at TE...

If Griffin makes the roster, he'll be taken on the role Josh Hill had of the out-front lead-blocker...
