This is my prediction
He's too physical for any CB to handle repeatedly.

In all seriousness about Jaheim Bell, I hope we use him EXACTLY like Kyle Juszczyk, same height and size. He’s not really a TE, might as well make him a FB who is also a legit receiving threat.

What Freediro said, if he works really hard he might become a serviceable fullback... he also might end up on the practice squad.
WR 1... is high on bath salts type optimism.

He’s more Jonnu Smith than anyone else in the league. Didn’t do much blocking at FSU and didn’t work out of the backfield. Maybe he can do that but he can definitely run and catch. He’s just kind of a tweener. With skills though. He wasn’t as involved as a receiver as maybe he should have been but he had some moments. Good 7th round gamble for sure.

I think in the 7th I am surprised he was there, simply because he has some production and can run a bit. So, I do wonder why he was there? I think Junno Smith is the first thing that came to mind, and that isn’t bad. But we’ll see.
I really wish people on this board were able to get to training camp in the summer because some of these kids look totally out of place down there. Usually the receivers and offensive linemen. It’s just a HUGE jump in competition. The receivers, even the ones that run the 4.3’s just don’t know how to sepearate. Meanwhile a veteran that runs a 4.6 subtly will put a shoulder and head fake on a corner and pick up enough space to prevent a contested catch. Hunter Henry is great at it. Jacoby Meyers really improved at it.

On the huge jump in competition… This is why asking a guy that started his last 40 games at RT in college and thinking you can just flip him to LT and have him go up against the premiere pass rushers at the NFL level is kind of head scratching. LT tackle was a priority before Free Agency and the draft and is still a priority.

Camp is everything to a season

Was last year too even though we had a talented guy (he was just lazy and a nut job).

LT tackle was a priority before Free Agency and the draft and is still a priority. I am not sure anyone is saying Wallace can play LT. I believe the thought is that Wallace is athletic and smart enough, with proper coaching and practice, he eventually could. that may be day 1. that may be season 2. that may be never. the roster has a lt of holes from the prior staff. they had 3 major holes at QB, WR and LT. the Pats addressed the 3 major holes in free agency and the draft. time will tell if they were able to do so effectively, or not. this is a 2-3 year process. they were never going to be able to filp this roster in 1 offeseason unless they traded out of #3.

Okafor, McDermott, Anderson, Lowe and maybe Wallace will any be competent? perhaps all of them? will depend on scheme and coaching imo.

His knees are crap, but he wants to give playing one more try.

His knees are crap, but he wants to give playing one more try. had this thought last night - they try Okafor first and work Wallace at LT in practice and occasionally rotate him in. All of this to start the first half of the year and let Brissett possibly get killed. Figure out what the plan is and then bring Maye in once he’s ready(that’s if he doesn’t blow Brissett out of the water in camp, which is very likely)
