I think he is interesting competition at nickel. I hope he gets some snaps this season to get his feet under him a bit. Seems to be a very scrappy, heady player and is ready made to play nickel. Still think we need to add a true nickel this off-season but Lucas definitely can’t be counted out in 2023.
I’m just still irrationally mad about the wide receiver position. I’ve been whining about it since the beginning but that’s on me for having tunnel vision And much of it can easily be blamed on injury (Chark, Reynolds, etc.).
I really like Holmes! I think he’s a potential superstar GM. Just feel like what he has tried to bring in at the position hasn’t worked out as much as it could, and I feel that put Goff in a worse position than necessary this year. No big deal, though. I’m sure he will work it out.
In less than 2 years he’s drafted a now sophomore WR, who might be in the top 2 or 3 slot guys in the league and drafted Jamo who could end up top five at his position. Now he has a third draft and his first real shot at Free Agency to shore up the WRs even more. We are going to be sitting pretty by next year (barring injuries).
The WR room at the beginning of last year - especially after Cephus got hurt - was especially atrocious. I give Holmes a lot of credit for getting it right in stride, with Raymond and Reynolds and ultimately St. Brown’s emergence.
