Dehner said Newton and Chase Brown have been standing out

Deep at QB and WR.  Maybe the DL if the last 2 drafts were worthwhile. RB is probably adequate. 

 

Not seeing this supposed depth either, at least in terms of "where would losing a starter not be likely to cost them games?"

 

I'm sure there will be spirited competition for backup positions before they are awarded based on drafting and salary.

 

We have depth at QB, WR, RB, DE, and SS. Not much on O-line (apart from Mims), DT is probably ok but that assumes the rookies play well. LB is thin, CB is a jumble of bodies.

Yeah that's good to see. I was having visions of Cordy Glenn, Collins, hell Orlando ain't looked too good so far either.

 

At least this FA OT is suited up and working.

Really like Goldsmith. Going down his list:

 

- Walters, Burrow and plenty of beat writers have said the same about Iosivas. He is better in every way that he was as a rookie. Not a "developmental WR" anymore.

- Andei's offseason workout buddy CBrown has also been drawing similar raves from everyone for a big jump over his rookie season. Bigger, stronger, faster.

- With Gesicki we get that "eye candy" phrase again. A guy who figures to be moved all over the board like a chess piece.

- Jones getting snaps as an outside WR? First I've heard of that, but if they're going "position-less" offense versatility is important. No pure slot WRs now.

- Mims biggest draft drawback is lack of college snaps. Pretty obvious that Mims will get tons of snaps in training camp and preseason games to accelerate his development.

- Glad that Cochran is looking good, but I'm worried more about IOL depth. Wish an unknown OG would start flashing.

I love the idea of having Mims start at RT, kicking Trent inside to RG and moving Cappa to LG. Then you have Volson as your reserve IOL.
