General question : Is there a cost to opening new threads?

[Rugby Saint II]

In that case I'd like to use this thread discussing Payton Turner, Pete Werner, and Paulson Adebo. If it's alright with the OP rather than starting a new thread.

I'd like to see how the rookies will progress this year and if they can be impact starters. The way I see it Turner could eventually replace Davenport, who has progressed nicely, but misses far too much playing time. Turner looked good in limited play but was injured early on. Sound familiar?

Does Turner have the potential to take over for an aging Cam in a couple of years or slide in for Davenport if we can't afford to keep him next year? Turner is raw like Davenport and may need as much time to develop. Although, I most certainly hope not.

Kwon Alexander is great to pair with Demario Davis, but he also has an extensive injury history and might get some great offers reflecting his play the last couple of years with the Saints. I hope he's back because we are dynamic at LB'er when these two are together. If not, we drafted Werner last year who played surprisingly good football in his limited playing time in relief for Kwon.

We also have Adebo who surprised everybody by filling in admirably at # 2 CB. We kept Roby and Lattimore so that position is a strength right now.

Special mention: I hope this wasn't a thread jack which I don't care for.
