Verse and Tampa I think are the best pass-rusher and corner in the draft. We’re not going to reconcile there.
With Sudfeld, you’re talking about a guy who ideally won’t even dress for a game all season. A capable, experienced QB who knows the system in and out…I think…is quite a thing for that role.
Similarly with Cabinda…we almost never use a FB…but you keep one on the 53-man roster and dress him for some gameplans (where you need more than Rodrigo)…and the coaching staff really loves him. For a role where the guy only dresses half a dozen times a yr…what more do you want?
In either case…of course maybe there are upgrades. But maybe not smart ones price-wise, for such small roles.
Re: Chark vs Brown or Thomas. Reynolds already beat out Chark when he was here. I believe we’re looking for someone who can potentially beat out Reynolds. It won’t be Chark. Brown I find especially interesting (look at his numbers last yr). And Thomas was still pretty good in a bad offense in NO last yr. He could really blow up again with us, potentially. Either choice excites me more than Chark, DPJ, etc.
I want a guy who’s a threat in the passing game. Imagine how versatile that would make our offense. Imagine what a creative guy like Ben could do with that. For my money the Niners are the only ones using the FB position correctly, it should be a FB/TB/RB hybrid, and they should be used all over the offense. The ideal of this to me would be Brock Bowers, but obviously that’s not happening. But as @1CasanovaJack said Holker’s a great option on day 3. Westover might be as well.
I like Sinnott too but think he’ll be gone before I’m comfortable picking a TE. He would work too though, and I think you could hand it to him in some surprise situations. Jaheim Bell is another who would work but who I expect to go too soon.
Spann-Ford, the Minny TE, is more of a pure blocking TE, which is fine as well. But it’s a different spot than the FB/TE/RB hybrid. He also turns 25 during the season, which hurts his stock.
Too much draft capital to trade up for Verse. Get a DE or DT in FA, just like CB, and add another in the draft. We need immediate results on D, that’s going to take some veterans. I’ve seen TJ play enough to know that he’s a Top 10 but that doesn’t make him a first rounder. First round and third round I would look hard at OL, 2nd and 4th pick go D. With re to Cabinda you can’t have him on a 53 man roster, not here, not anywhere. And I think you’re taking some serious liberties saying that Reynolds beat out Chark. Reynolds played in front of an injured Chark. Chark isn’t likely to cost much and he played in 14 games last season on a shitty team. Make him an offer.
