Ryan McCollum

McCollum was re-signed. Good depth move.

 

and now hoffman was finally signed. there may not be a guard drafted until later. with anderson, mccollum and hoffman now the interior spots are in much better shape.

 

Better but none of them are high caliber long term solutions

They are backups who may start

Mason Rudolph on the OL

Still need to draft long term starters

 

no but the depth is far better than what it was. driscoll, hoffman, mccollum, anderson. not bad for guard and center depth. driscoll helps the tackle spot depth. they are looking at both tackle and guard in this draft. pregnon, miller wouldn't be a bad way to go.

 

I missed something

I was thinking you were suggesting they did not need to look at those positions in the draft

 

i'm thinking they wait until after the first for one. pregnon, bisontis, schrauth, rutledge all seem to be in that range of 2nd and later.

 

I keep reading “biscotti”

Which is not a bad thing

I wonder what the deal with this was?

 

Never have too many. For BUs each one isn’t bad and the position flexibility they bring is a huge Benefit for OL BUs that have to be ready on short notice. In addition, in totality, I like the Sum of all parts. Nice job by Omar plugging leaks.

 

I think we've built the roster perfectly to not HAVE to draft any position in the first. We could easily go OL, DL, CB, S, WR.... but we don't need to go with any of them. My bet is still on WR (of the slot variety), but nothing would surprise me. I think we did a really nice job in FA this year.
