LT

LG

OTTO

CB

MLB


The fix for LT is not on this roster and lacks depth. Sure the Jags could plug someone in there, but next to the other weak spot of LG, it is a disaster waiting to happen. After watching OTAs, I actually think we may have the fix at LG. This will get some eye rolls, but Joeckel actually looked pretty stout at LG. We know his weakness tends to be technique out in space, so it stands to reason locked in a "phone booth" he may be pretty good. His strength in the run game carries over as well.


The OTTO or DE positions or whatever fancy name you want to assign them, lacks a proven play maker and depth. On paper we may have some improvements, but the only one flashing right now is Fowler. OTAs aren't a perfect measuring tool, but the Ryan Davis experiment looked absolutely awful. Not sure why the coaches feel he can cover in space.


CB has potential, but it is has one consistent player and the others are from the trauma ward. Maybe the offense has taken a step up, but they back end didn't look too impressive this last week. Thomas and Hurns were beating them like a drum! The other WR and TE didn't do so bad either. Like most positions, there just isn't strong depth yet.


The MLB position is in need of an upgrade and unfortunately it plays for Denver. Poz is great against the run and does great aligning his defense, but he is weak in one on one situations. He occasionally gets lucky in zone. Once again, good depth is an issue. We have seen a big drop off when Poz is out. He is up there in age and at the tail end of his career. Who is his replacement? Not sure he is on the roster just yet. Myles Jack has the potential to be a great LB, just not sure if that includes inside at the MLB position.
