Taking a look at our roster...trying to see who right now could be on the bubble pre-draft.
Leonte Carroo's name jumps out. I just read that the Saints just resigned Brandon Coleman from Rutgers. An UDFA from 2014, last year had 23 catches and 3 TDs.
Maybe William Hayes if Cameron Malveaux comes on strong...unless they could trade Branch (which I doubt, with that contract). The only other two are possibly Asiata or Larsen.
Am I missing anyone?

Good call on Osweiler...I forgot to mention him.

At this point, who would give anything for Carroo? There are UDFA with far more production. Our only hope is that the light comes on and he can find chemistry with RT and gain the coaches trust. Right now, he's a huge bust. And I resisted calling him that. I thought he should at least get a couple of seasons...but its been a major disappointment.

But Matthews was productive...I am giving Carroo partial pass, because the entire offense last year was warmed over c...p. So, I get it, its hard for a younger WR to gain the confidence of the QB when the entire offense is struggling. But this camp is HUGE for him. He needs to be in great shape and run great routes. There is an opportunity for him now, and long term if he gets his act together.
We know Parker is probably going to miss time...its just a way of life with him...Carroo, or one of these new guys can really endear themselves to the QB.Puka-head, Pauly and Surfs Up 99 like this. -

I think their being stubborn on him because of what they gave up..
but with Watson..Stills..Jakeem...Parker..Amemdola, all assured spots, you would think they would be on the phone with every front office seeing if other GMs had a high grade on carooo when he came out and see if they would be willing to give up a fifth or sixth. -

Carroo has flashed some ability, but nowhere near as consistently as Matthews.
The real draft tragedy isn’t the picks spent on Carroo. The real tragedy is we had Matthews on the roster and if we had managed his playing time and salary right we would never have needed to spend draft capital on him at all in th first olace.Puka-head, Hiruma78, Surfs Up 99 and 1 other person like this. -

Its really just about getting good players. You think anyone else the Patriots got the year they drafted Brady mattered?
Grade this class:
Adrian Klemm, OL, Hawaii
3 J.R. Redmond, RB, Arizona State
4 Greg Robinson-Randall, OT, Michigan State
5 Dave Stachelski, TE, Boise State
5 Jeff Marriott, DE, Missouri
6 Antwan Harris, CB, Virginia
6 Tom Brady, QB, Michigan
6 David Nugent, DL, Purdue
7 Casey Tisdale, LB, New Mexico
7 Patrick Pass, RB, Georgia
Its a whopping A+.
Point is, you do all the best research you can, and sometime you get lucky. Sometimes you don't. And whoever was the best GM in the league in that year, didn't do as well as this *** clown who drafted Brady with the Pats THIRD pick in the sixth round.Fin-O likes this. -
