He picks up the blitz well and better suited for short yardage at this point, but to be toting the load multiple games , no. We need fresher legs for that. I see us picking up a good rb on cut day. Kamara want be back for some time.

I'm optimistic this Baylor UDFA RB can be the real deal, and I'd like to see these type of young guys get the reps instead of picking up vets like Freeman last season.

Well, we've gotten spoiled to hitting gold among the UDRFAs, so I've tempered my expectations...

My hope is Abram Smith can supplant Dwayne Washington (poor RB), as Smith was also an exceptional LBer, he's had great preparation for special teams...

Now, Smith gives us some solid rushing when other RBs are down, allowing the offense to stay balanced, great; if he's an exceptional RB, that's lagniappe...

Matt Colburn II seems to be the best RB in the USFL. Averaging 4.6 YPC with 4 TDs. Probably wouldn’t be able to help after getting beat up for a season in the USFL. Interesting thought though. He played at Wake Forest and was a practice team guy for the Rams.

Believe you also have to factor the game speed (USFL vs NFL) as well...

Very true. It would be nice to stumble onto another Kurt Warner type though. Again, not saying he’s that type.

TE (3) 82 - Adam Trautman, 81 - Nick Vannett, 83 - Juwan Johnson (ERFA 2021), 86 - Kahale Warring (FA 2022), 88 - J.P. Holtz (FA 2022), 44 - Lucas Krull (UDFA 2022)

Am optimistic of this Tight End group...
