Good. Another familiar face in the secondary. This will help if both Kerby and Branch are out for an extended amount of time.

I feel reasonably comfortable with the DB room.

if Ponds is there at our 2nd (X to doubt massively) or its BPA i wouldnt hate it, but CB is looking more like a day 3ish thing rn

The DB room is solid now not including Branch and Kerby… With them, it’s borderline elite. Great depth

I thought that was a done deal before it was. Reality has never been my strong suit.

Love this move. I think we’ve added some solid depth in the secondary. Which we end up needing every single year with injuries. Camp is going to be a dogfight with all these guys

As long as Kerby’s out, I won’t feel comfortable about this DB room. I do believe Reed can bounce back. Very little confidence in Terrion.

I do like Maddux, but it’s still a giant question mark. Kerby is the backbone of everything we do IMHO.

It can always get better. Ponds is there round 2. He needs to be a lion. Fits the mold

I am on board with everything that’s happened this offseason. A few positions that were needs have been pushed down the line (RB2, TE, edge/secondary/OL depth). Pressing needs remaining are the obvious OT & Edge.

If those positions are in fact added in round 1 & 2, I would give this offseason an A. The rest of the draft can be BPA and imo, once again this team will have one of the strongest rosters in the NFL.

If we do pass on either edge or tackle in the first 2 rounds, I will hold off being upset. There are still some options remaining at both positions in free agency. A solid free agent OT has to feel good about their chances of starting/earning $$ on a prove it deal. Same can be said for a designated pass rusher.

Good move

A large part of the fan base is expecting Mac, Kerby, Arnold, and Laporta to have low impact years…. We don’t have any reason to think that Laporta or Mac won’t be prime versions, and at this point Kerby could be fine… or done. It’s not like anyone but Branch has an injury with a recovery timeline

Many are forgetting what Jack and Mac looked like as rookies, and not counting on a breakout from Tyliek

We are a NT and edge FA signing away from being pretty good. Let’s see us go get Cam Jordan and Reader and book it for the draft.

It’s vet minimum deals moving forward and neither of them are taking one

Not sure… I’ve heard that we are getting closer on a Sewell restructure.

Where are you hearing that? And what do you mean closer? It’s not really a negotiation

Biggest holes at this point.

LT1
DE2
NT2
WLB1

Other than that roster is solid
