2023 Official Roster Build Thread - The Initial 53 / Practice Squad

[ghost]

10 personnel - RB Josh Kelley in the backfield, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Josh Palmer are in a bunch formation on the strong side and Quentin Johnson is on the weak-side in man coverage. The defense had better be in a Cover Two look or Quentin will gash you on the slant.

I’m less sure of our Safety group than or Edge rushers, but then again Edge is a more important position for overall Defense pressure and aggression.

Also less sure of our CBs to get to dime package with any depth?

Callahan was fantastic last year, I’d welcome him asap. JJ vs Floyd - tough for me to call which is the priority I don’t know what the coaches know about the Safety room. Do we all think Rumph just can’t do it and won’t take another step up this year? Because Gilman is Gilman, and we haven’t seen Woods do anything well yet based only on his very limited rookie tape.

I would pick Edge over S. But more than anything - I just hope Telesco doesn't think the roster is final until training camp. The Dolphins signed Wynn for OL depth; the chiefs signed Smith. I just hope they are still willing to sign a couple more guys - just to add a bit more depth.

I thought Callahan did really good last year. Why aren't we resigning him?

Staley said he really likes Hall. Based on what, I dunno.

Q with a "between the legs dribble"
cute, but how about he focus on actual football moves for now.

Bah Humbug.

party pooper! i was more excited to see him catch with his hands, personally. "FB Moves" when running all by by himself in shorts is an oxymoron anyway, but hands are always hands.

ha.
Ya I noticed the hands too, I should have started with a positive.
still, practice right, at least before you've done anything in the NFL.

Chargers needed a punt returner
He was the fasted guy at the combine

Maybe he was a bit of a reach but he has a skillset that you cannot teach - better this kind of pick than say Jonathan Crompton at QB under AJ who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with his throws.

Man, for all of AJ's good picks, he sure had a lot of stinkers...Mouton, English, Hester, Waters, Taylor, Gartrell, Davis, Candyman, ugh...

I believe the longer he was away from Butler, the worse he became.

Is that really different than all GMs? I was listening to an interview with Telesco and he mentioned that the league hit rate for first round draft picks is 55% and it goes down in each subsequent round. Clearly the draft is an inexact science.

Money? We got a discount last season. Maybe he doesn’t want to do that again. Just guessing.

Well if we have good numbers with our punt returns setting up better field position good enough. If you remember back in the day we drafted Andre Coleman with a 3rd round pick to return kicks and that worked out pretty well. We have to hope for something similar.
