We have a cheap young:
Versatile DL that immediately keeps Trey and Sam from getting gassed and keeps Ossai in his better suited rush specialist role if either is injured. They'll likely use him for a few reps at UT, which was an underrated need.
Potential LCB since resigning Awuzie will be near impossible with his play level, injury history, desperation on the market for good cover corners and all the money going to our offense.
Balanced safety that excels on ST and may even get in the mix to defend TEs. They are admitting that they could get better at safety, no worries of being doomed if the others don't hold their roles.
RB with a heck of a burst, balanced complement to Mixon.
Polished WR that can improve WR4 NOW. Sure he will replace Boyd in a year but I'm dead serious that they may let Burrow have k oh re of the 4 wide sets he wants. This is especially if Jonah/Jackson hold down RT well in run and pass blocking to compensate not having a TE at times.
A raw deep threat that will either be a backup longterm outside (or WR4) and worst case gives us long term hope if Tee negotiations go south. I know their aim is to keep him, but if they're forced to tag him and negotiations go south after the first tag maybe they tag and trade him the following year. No doom and gloom, my point is they are getting ahead on TWO slots in a position group that tends to have a bigger learning curve and aren't cheap to replace in FA.
A smart punter with good hang time, possibly sticks as a late 6th, and a DB that I have no clue on.
This in an A class, trying not to be a homer. We had a plan and the luxury of not drafting percieved need. I'm not letting not taking a TE in a deep class drop it to a B+. We have enough with what they want to do and others have mentioned, we may Benin play for a cut vet and even one at RB.
