Vic is objectively undersized to play 4-3 DE. We're going from a 285 lb DE in Clayborn to Vic at 245. Vic struggled as a rookie - people were ready to call him a bust - at DE, and it's only when they officially moved him to the left side that he blew up in 2016.

Our DL undoubtedly got worse this year. We're going to be relying on a bunch of question marks next to Grady where we had Poe last year, and we're going to be very undersized at DE with Vic+Takk taking over the starting mantle and Clayborn gone. Not saying it's bad, and 27th is definitely not giving the D enough credit, but our pass rush and run D could both be really really bad this year.

now if only Hoop could get open against man coverage without needing the defense to forget about him.

Hooper might never become a high quality tight end. He doesn't exactly have the kind of ingredients that add up to anything special.

I own zero consoles and only play madden on PC. Specifically I play a heavily modded version of madden 08 that uses up to date rosters & updated graphics and stuff. I don't expect much from Reggie Davis but you might be right, idk. arbitrarily including a TE doesn't really make sense

I have no clue dude, wikipedia says he is but he's not listed on the roster page on the team site.

Quick/shifty doesn't need to mean short. Ridley is probably the "quickest" WR on our team while also being 3rd tallest.

I don't even know if WR height is meaningful, but it always just bothered me that we only had two WRs over 6' tall.

2016 Atlanta Falcons average WR Height: 5'10 3/4" 2017 Atlanta Falcons average WR Height: 5'11" Now for 2018, I'm projecting our WR room to be Julio, Sanu, Ridley, Hardy, Hall, and Gage. 2018 Atlanta Falcons average WR Height: 6'0 1/8" if Devin Fuller makes the team over Marvin Hall it makes our WR group even taller as a unit. It's nice to finally have more than 2 WRs on the team who stand at 6' or taller. It's also kind of funny because mainstream media personalities automatically assume that Gabriel was our slot receiver because of his size, and because of that they also assume Ridley will play in the slot this year. I'm pretty sure Ridley is going to be outside at flanker (Z receiver) in 3 receiver sets, allowing Sanu to kick inside to play slot in those situations.

DT Youhanna Ghaifan looks like an elite 3 tech prospect who could very possibly fall into our laps in next year's draft, even if we're picking in the late 20s or (ideally) early 30s again. DE Carl Granderson is an edge rush prospect who I genuinely feel if he was playing for a bigger school like a Clemson, Alabama, A&M, etc, would be getting Clowney/Garrett type hype. He's awesome. LB Logan Wilson looks like a next gen NFL LB. He can thump against the run, he can cover, he looks to have sideline to sideline speed, I really like this kid too. All three of these dudes helped a Wyoming team with the 105th ranked offense in the nation, still maintain the 9th best defense in the nation. I'm really excited about their 2018 seasons and all three of them declaring (Granderson has to, the other two have a year of eligibility left) for the 2019 draft.

our depth looks really bad at a lot of positions. We're doing pretty well at WR, LB, and DB, but honestly every other position is screwed with an injury.

Bumping this because NAILED IT

doubt any of them make the team but if any of them do I think it's most likely to be one of the OLBs other than Winbush. Ellerbee or Jarvis.

The Browns released this kid after refusing to use him last year. Apparently the incompetent Gregg Williams was more interested in using their version of T.J. Ward, Jabrill Peppers, as a deep midfielder, playing 15-20 yards off the ball when he plays more like a LINEBACKER, than letting Kai Nacua play. We've gotten major returns from players the Browns didn't know how to use before, and Nacua is an absolute freak from an athletic standpoint, not to mention the 12 INTs he put up in his final two college seasons at BYU. I don't think Nacua is a guarantee by any means, but this is the kind of guy that, if given a chance, could legitimately supplant Ricardo Allen at FS and provide a rangier, more athletic option while playing special teams in the meantime.

tier 1 OLB yeah, too old to be a tier 1 DE tho. He had 4 sacks as a rookie at RDE, then over 20 over his last two seasons at sam LB playing LDE in nickel.
