When teams start making cuts, surely some vets are going to be let go -- because they were not better than someone else who was cheaper or younger or whatever. Anyone got an idea of what we need most as back up that might be filed by such a cut? Any likely targets for this?
Yup.
Pass Rush.
Pass Rush.
"WR who can legitimately stretch a defense." This was the one I thought was much higher priority going into the draft than most people. Slayton was a nice consolation prize and I believe he will contribute and make some big plays here, but I have no idea how you pass on Hakeem Butler at #95. A big-bodied receiver AND a legitimate deep threat, could have killed 2 birds with one stone in terms of WR-types this team sorely needs.

Apparently they had Oshane Ximines very high on their board.
Hope they are right about him ... would make passing on Josh Allen a lot more palatable.
we need a pass rush, cover DBs, a reliable QB, is this new Oline really any good? Right now its a guess that they are better then the last
Heres one rarely mentioned, we need aggressive unpredictable play calling
Can we reliably stop the run without Collins?
lots of questions . only time will tell
Surprising. After college they thought I ought to give a class in it.

I just don't like Slayton's hands. I'd have taken Butler too. Maybe Ximenes works out and that justifies it, but I think Slayton's another Tim Carter.
