It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

jeanpierre

Brees, Kuhn, Line, Phillips are Unrestricted Free Agents that I'd expect to re-sign; might be a coin-flip of Kuhn or Line, maybe both...

Snead, Coleman, Breaux and Parry are Restricted Free Agents; Jack Allen is an Exclusive Rights Free Agent...

Pretty Sure I got all the Futures Contracts players listed...

I just couldn't post this roster outlook with just Taysom Hill at the top - seemed like bad karma...

Especially when we're off to such a good start with the Coleman signing...

K Major

I'm expecting big things from this group in year 2... specifically Muhammad.

jeanpierre

Agreed. That's why I like the idea of drafting Taven Bryan because it's the interior pass rush that's lacking...

Cam with Okafor/Hendrickson was getting it done on the edges this past season...

And you're right, the depth has to step up; like to sign an affordable Brent Urban and/or Trent Murphy...

K Major

The comparisons I'm reading on Taven are hard to ignore. He was disruptive at Florida & sheds blocks consistently. Any chance he slips to the 3rd rd ??

jeanpierre

Furthest I've seen Taven fall was the mid-second round; biggest criticism is that he's raw and will only be a pass rusher his first year...

I don't buy that - he cranked out 30 reps so he's strong at the point of attack, and with that first step, can hop in the backfield on RBs...

He's gonna be versatile and he's very much in the mould of a J.J. Watt/Howie Long type you move along the opponent's line, exploiting weakest blockers...

I kept hoping to see Carr play when Willie wasn't being Willie..

Rugby Saint II

Our depth at O-line is absolutely scary. It's just a list of UDFA's without a single player that inspires confidence......Strief is retiring and Kelemete has been too good and will get paid somewhere else. Invest in the first round and the player is under a five year contract. We need to make sure Drew has time and the RB's have holes.....it is always smart to have protection and eventually we will be seeing lesser talent under center after Drew retires. Give the new guy a chance to process this difficult offense and give hm time in the pocket to make the right read.
