Tyson was a solid player who was overdrafted.  He produced here, just not to the level of what you'd expect from a first round pick.  That's not on him.  I think Bryan WISHES he was anywhere near as good as Alualu.  My guess is that by the time we're 5 or 6 years out from his draft, he'll be out of the league.  

I know it's year 2 for Taven, and players historically do take a step forward from rookie year to the second season.  We're not seeing that in the preseason with him, and maybe it's just a matter of him needing to get his game legs, but there are times when he looks completely lost out there.  When the coaches decide to sit the majority of starters for most of the preseason, but Bryan is playing, that tends to support the notion that he's not living up to expectations.  Based on his performance in the preseason, nothing has changed.  It would not shock me to see the team move on from him next year.  They'll give him year 2 to try to redeem himself, but it's not looking promising at this point.
