Big Blue Huddle

I think Paul Schwartz pretty much nailed it. After that, there are several players that need to be looked at to see how they fit in the new defense and offensive players who are being counted on to step up, especially on that offensive interior and the TE position.

Here are mine in ranked order.

Evan Neal
Daniel Jones
John Michael Schmitz
CorDale Flott
Devin Singletary

Singletary is more important than Gray as Saquon's replacement.  That's why we signed him.

I am not sure about Gray.  I have a sneaking suspicion Tyrone Tracy will be a good surprise for the team

I feel that way as well Rich.  Tracy feels like a Dave Meggett type to me.

I would be shocked if Jones does much heavy lifting in camp.

Jones better do a lot of heavy lifting aka live game action speed.  He and the rest of the team were so unprepared for the Lions in minicamp practices and with Cowboys in first game of season.  If players can't handle it, get new players.  Run camps like they did in the 1980s-1990s.

If Jones can't stay healthy, better to find out sooner rather than later

Hopefully Tracy isn't a raging POS off the field like Meggett was. As far as Tracy goes he's the best pass catching running back we have had in a while but he's still of a bit unknown carrying the ball. I hope he's a major revelation as we haven't really had a late round pick turn into a really good pro in a while.

Yeah how long has it been?  David Diehl?

Too long. You look around the league and there are teams that find studs in the 4th round and later and we haven't. So far Schoen hasn't corrected that. I'm hopeful he will but it's really difficult to be good if you only get quality starters in the first three rounds.

slayton?

Slayton looks like he's our number 4 receiver, at best, possibly our 5th depending how much Robinson has left in the tank. I'm talking about a quality starter who you start for most teams. Slayton started because our receiver corps was horrendous, so horrendous that Hodgins went from the Bills practice squad to being our second best receiver.
