Roster review:
QB: Alejandro Havens (36/88) is looking even more dominant than it looked when he was drafted. He can make all the throws, senses the rush extremely well, is great in the two minute offense, and should develop a really good accuracy.

Leon Reynolds (10/40) and Kelly McCormick (12/35) offer quality upside as backups who may offer good return down the road.

RB: Marlon Adams (48/54) has been a nice surprise. He is every bit the pass catching back we were expecting but is also a decent runner as well.

Marvin Ellis (36/43) is an explosive, elusive runner but lacks power and struggles on 3rd downs. David Sweeney (27/32) has been disappointing. He has the power to run inside but is too limited.

FB: Leonardo King (21/27) is nothing special but is a decent pass blocker.

TE: Alonzo Russell (21/36) is a capable pass catching TE who can get downfield and is unafraid to attack the middle.

Bubba Meyer (29/41) is better all around as he has some blocking ability but isnt as much of a pass catcher. Rick Samuels (13/28) has good hands and can make tough catches on bad throws but is limited athletically and skill wise.

WR: Drake Hubinger (30/42) is really good at getting downfield, adjusting to tough throws, and making plays on 3rd downs. At 6'2" 203 he could be a solid starter. Ike Knickerbocker (25/39) is a really good route runner and will start despite his size, being only 5'7" 194 lbs. Hunter Edwards (18/33) is decently well rounded but cannot do anything really well.

Dennis Conners (24/32) is a big target but lacks the skills to compete. Ken Tercero (20/29) has some big play ability but that is all. Hunter McCumber (20/30) is another disappointment from the late end of this draft class.

C: Jack Garcia (18/45) has been a nice surprise as a UDFA and is a solid run blocker. Chance Restifo (20/39) looks like a backup at best after being taken in the 7th round.

G: Otis Williamson (35/64) and Antoine Starks (23/67) offer a pair of starters better suited as run blockers but capable all around. Glenn Wirth (22/39) is a backup we hope doesnt see the field.

T: For a pair of UDFAs Fernando Buckley (25/47) and Tyrell Lang (13/37) are okay i guess. Jake Hanson (28/39) offers nothing as a pass blocker so cannot start Sherman Riddols (10/33) isnt much either.

P: Jason Burin (33/40) will work for this year.

K: Percy Quinn (35/48) is okay with field goals but struggles with kickoffs.

DE: Jonah Hollas (33/63) looks great for a UDFA and is great both against the run and as a power rusher. Glenn Wilhide (27/47) will start opposite him and is a decent pass rusher as well.

Bubba Jervey (23/37) is a pure rush technique player who will play plenty in nickle situations and Tim Lyons (24/48) is good against the run and will fill in in goalline sets.

DT: Don Webster (41/71) is both a great pass rusher and a solid run defender. Richie Hanson (31/54) is a really good run defender who knows how to hit but lacks motor.

Pedro Anderson (21/36) is a good interior rusher who will make the rotation. Nate Jefferson (25/41) is a solid backup tackle. Tim Buchanan (27/37) is a well rounded but unimpressive tackle.

MLB: Byron Heard (36/64) may be undersized but he is good against the run and is a great hitter. He also has the pass rush skills to blitz when needed.

George Mason (32/42) is instinctive and can hit but lacks skill. Zane Lofton (28/33) isn't much of a player but will fill in if needed.

OLB: Roosevelt Cornett (47/80) is all around great. He is elite against the run, elite as a rusher, and very good in coverage. Luther Atwater (24/50) is a solid enough run defender. He will not be able to play full time though due to endurance.

Lionel Arnold (17/27) is a mediocre backup but will have to play some.

CB: Julio Uerkwitz (36/55) is a solid man coverage corner. Amir Latham (36/48) is solid as well. AJ Chopper (29/46) is capable of playing the nickle.

Chuck McEndoo (30/41) and Irving Garrett (31/46) are quality backups. Isaiah Mason (22/24) is not much but is a fill in if needed.

SS: Colin Odegard (20/38) and Bennett Sawyer (26/38) will split time at SS but neither is a good option

FS: Manuel Marshall (20/35) is a solid center fielder but nothing special. Jameson Duncan (12/29) isnt much of a solution.

LS: Edward Wells (20) is a very good long snapper.
