I’ll try to tackle my roster & cuts this weekend.
Quick analysis on my draft picks… every single pick made their teams initial 53-man roster.
#2-58 Carlos Basham Jr., DE, Wake Forrest (Bills)
I had hoped he would be an immediate hit and wow in camp / preseason, but unfortunately he has somewhat been lost behind a few other pass rushers on the Bills roster. I don’t expect a lot of production this year. Still, camp reports still point to potential.
#2-63 Creed Humphrey, OC, Oklahoma (Chiefs)
Angry my physician team for not disclosing that Humphrey is a South Paw, but happy to have landed a perennial pro bowler.
#4-144 Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis (Eagles)
The Eagles are very excited about Gainwell and so am I. Gainwell should be their primary pass catching back right off the bat, and will inevitably take over when Miles Sanders has his inevitable season ending injury. I expect Gainwell to have an Antonio Gibson - sequel rookie season if all goes to plan.
#5-162 Frank Darby, WR, Arizona State (Falcons)
Made the 53 man roster, but didn’t wow anyone. I have a tough decision ahead on whether to keep Darby, or roll the dice on a Fountain.
#6-208 Isaiah McDuffie, LB, Boston College (Packers)
I haven’t seen much of McDuffie, I think he may have been injured for much of camp. He did make the Packers roster, and they are thin at LB, so hoping it all comes together mid season.
#6-221 Tay Gowan, CB, Central Florida (Cardinals)
Tay was awful in the preseason, but made the Cards 53 man roster as one of only 4 CBs because they have jack shit at the position. Barring a trade, Gowan will see significant time. Best hope hard lessons turn into serious growth.
#6-226 Trey Smith, OG, Tennessee (Chiefs)
Rainman covered it - locking down a future HOFer in the 6th round = VALUE
#6-228 Khyris Tonga, DT, BYU (Bears)
Made the Bears roster, impressed in camp, probably won’t see much playing time.
