That’s good depth. Not to mention Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau. I don’t have many concerns there.

Amazing how it's changed (roster) since Dennis became HC.

IMO that "I like our WR room" philosophy held us back & advancing while Brees was still under center. Who are you scaring with Callaway, Smith & Lil Jordan & Kirkwood?

Blockzilla (Trequan) has one foot off a cliff & the other on a banana peel in 2023. Slots #4-6 will have to excel on special teams/gunners to make this roster.

I see legitimate competition from these younger guys & I like how DA & staff are addressing needs (DT, WR, QB), in subsequent drafts.

To be fair though, he did spend high round picks on Cooks and Thomas.

In speaking in terms of recency.

Cooks was gone after 2016 & MT hasn't been healthy & contributing for several seasons now.

Meanwhile Lil' Jordan is trying to catch on in Denver.

Good luck.

They better hope Patrick or Jeudy stays healthy in 2023.

Jordan and Callaway don't move the needle as pass catchers.
