BigAl2526 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 At this point the DE's on the roster (besides the new guys) consist of Von Miller, (even though he's listed as a LB) Greg Rousseau, Kingsley Jonathon, A J Epenesa, and Kameron Cline. That's hardly a crowded room. Von Miller and Rousseau are the likely starters though nobody knows how effective Miller will be at 35 years old and recovering from an injury that rendered him close to useless last season. Epenesa is going to have a roster spot. After that there's not much. Kingsley Jonathon seems to have a bit of juice, but hasn't really done anything. Cline is more of a DE/DT tweener who is never going to do much in the way of pressuring the passer and generating sacks. It looks to me as if there is plenty of room for one of the kids to make the team. Solomon looks like the obvious favorite over Ugwoegbu based on college production, though Ugwoegbu has decent measurables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is modest with very little guarantees, but he’s a part of the conversation. Miller, Rousseau, Epenesa are locks. The last 2 spots I figure come down to a 3 way competition between Toohill, Jonathan, Solomon. My money is on Toohill and Solomon, Jonathan maybe a practice squad spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Bills absolutely crushed the 5th Round. They knew they needed contributors in this Draft and took two guys with Day 2 talent in RD5. Now how did two guys who have Day 2 talent fall to RD5, you ask? Van Pran is a Day 2 talent at Center .. but that’s really all he can do. His body build doesn’t translate well to Guard. Kromer will certainly cross train him for an emergency, but like Torrence dropped because he’s only a Guard, Van Pran dropped because hes only a Center. …but a dang good one at that. Solomon is a Day 2 talent at pass rusher .. but that’s really all he can do. He’s not built to be a traditional rotational DE. He’s a pass rush specialist. It’s about time a team like us, that typically has 5 Gameday active DE’s, got ourselves a designated pass rusher. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though. I know his run defense is a liability, but in obvious passing downs he has some juice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t good enough we couldn’t have been so close to winning with such bad coaching…. No?

Putin Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 On 4/27/2024 at 9:32 PM, NewEra said: No….our roster WAS good enough. We just didn’t make the plays and/or our coaches didn’t do a good enough job. let’s not mention our starting LB that was covering Kelce on both Tds was unemployed on thanksgiving day. Our top 4 LBs all impacted by Injury, von fell off a cliff, Tre injured, Benford injured, Douglas injured, gabe injured, Diggs, the worst ever version of himself, Rapp injured. Agree 100% if we come into that game healthy I believe we keep KC from scoring over 20 points and probably win that game 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Dumerville have those freakishly long arms though? Turns out 32.6" versus Solomon at 34"...so advantage our guy. But not at all a terrible comp overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
