Just how many "projects" can we actually carry on the final 53? We already have Griffin. Why don't we trade him for someone we can actually use? OL? Place kicker anyone?

Because he is a 6'3" physical corner and one we desperately need; especially with all the height at receiver in our division

If it came down to a choice between a third QB and Jean Baptiste, I'd keep Griffin and Baptiste and see if they develop.

I really wasn't impressed with the draft class other than cooks.

Which guys are you referring to? Who isn't for giving him some time?

He is playing like a rookie with very little positional awareness. But that can be coached up and he would greatly benefit from pro coaches.
