(Yesterday, 11:17 PM)Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 Wrote: Jenkins is freakishly strong. We did not get to see a ton of that last year with the injury.
But ya'll are freaking about Patrick getting tossed when Ford gave up the sack.
OL should have been priority #2 after bringing back the big 3.
FO scorecard:
1) Deals for Chase, Tee, Trey.
---2/3. 66.6%. Fail.
2) Fix the OL.
--Cut Cappa, Let T. Brown walk
In: Fairchild, Patrick, Rivers. Maybe McLaughlin.
Grade: C-/D.
3) Bring back the solid players from last year if the deal is reasonable & cut dead weight.
Retained: BJ Hill, Ossai, Gesicki, Grandy, Hudson, Adomitis, Robbins, Kirkland, M. Wilson.
Let walk/go: Hubbard, Rankins, Hilton, Pratt
Grade: B
4) Low budget FA moves
In: Slaton, Fant, Burks, Perine
Grade: A-
5) Draft:
Hated it on draft night. Mostly for the redundncies, reaches, and lack of trade downs, and the risk of the Stewart pick.
Grade: C up from a D. But really too early to tell.
6) Cap management/max space
Grade: D.
Still in C-/D territory. A Trey deal moves it up a full letter grade. Some OL help (Risner, cut guy) in addition would put us in the B/B+. range.
Cappa is injured again
Trent Brown was medically cleared from his patellar tendon tear but was placed on PUP for an unknown reason. He had yet to see the field. I don’t know if I would have cut Cappa until they were sure they had a replacement but getting rid of Brown was the correct one
