Quote:Do you believe Cyp, relative to safeties in the league, played at least average and has yet to hit his peak?

 

Do you believe this team has some of the worst speed at RB and a pretty bad screen game?

Cyp has played 4 seasons and started 60 games. He is what he is, there's no hidden talent to unlock at this point. He is roughly average at the position, but he is playing the position in the absolute most basic and unimpactul way the position can be played. If he were playing the position in the same manner as a lot of the other SS in the league he would be far below average. 

 

I do believe we need an upgrade at RB, it's just not as bad as the upgrade we need at SS. I also believe the pass rushers like Allen/Thomas/Williams or safeties Adams/Hooker are superior to Cook and Fournette. They will generally have longer careers, with longer peak durations, will suffer fewer injuries throughout, and quality options can historically be found later in the draft. Especially in this extremely deep and diverse RB class. 

 

For example: Pumphery and Hunt are both looking great in this Senior Bowl (and did all week in practice), and one if not both of them will probably be available for us to take early on day 3 in this class.
