I agree with op on just about everything. Tanner Lee is a meme and shouldn't make the team. Jacobs is a physical freak and with more reps and some coaching hopefully he could become our 3rd LB. DJ Chark looked like a kid on a mission. Moncrief looks good for us if he can stay healthy. Mickens will probably kick Greene off the roster. Some of our back-up linemen are getting our QB killed. The tackles were turnstyles.

To answer your question, we have an outstanding GM in Caldwell.
But wait! Caldwell selected Lee!
Just kidding. Some of the people here are in post-season form. Ready to cast off a seventh round pick after one quarter of play. A guy who was projected to be a project. You think he was a little nervous? It's not like he's going to play this year. But off with his head!
But Jacobs is a heck of a story.
I am among the unwashed masses that are not huge fans of Tanner Lee, so I will take the dig about being in post season form with some pride.
It takes hard work to be in post season form in preseason!

I would like to see what Grant could do in a regular season game with our starting Oline, and given a good share of touches. We only see him lined up behind the QB a few times per season, and mainly just with 2nd or 3rd string lineman blocking during a preseason game. Several times last night he could not find a hole and ran into a brick wall. It's hard to fully credit him with the limited gains, with subpar blocking.
The oline better get/stay healthy because there's a huge dropoff after the first 5. Wells let Bortles get drilled on the pass to Dede, Kessler had to scramble on almost every throw and Lee didn't have a chance.

I really hoped Richardson could step up to be a swing tackle in the short term because of how bad Wells played at times last season. Fingers crossed.
If Cam goes down, its a scary situation at LT right now.

OL depth is very concerning, isn't it? Given the high injury nature of the NFL, it's more about who's finishing the season, not who's starting it.
