I'd rather start Bucknor or Hurl than have a rotation of below average players at safety. Report

Im thinking the point of drafting Waggoner, Morgan and Loffler is that we believe they are not below average... I don't mean rotating all of them - just whichever one of them rises to the top. Way less damage than Hurl or Buckner getting picked on Report

Wow with a guy like Butcher he could play NT in a 3-4 over the 0 & 1 technique & be a force to be reckoned with. If he can run at 325 lbs I hope they don't make him shed the weight to 290-300 lbs. In a 4-3 he'd have to be lighter. Report

May 12, 20169 yr comment_195866 Well not everyone can make the team. If all the draft picks sign, we'll have 34 Canadians on the roster. I think it's safe to say that most of the draft picks won't be a factor this season, whether that means they get cut, go back to school, or sit on the practice roster. Corney and Couture will make it but if they want Loffler on the roster then that probably means one of our vet Canadian DBs has gotta go. If we decide against starting a Canadian defensive back, I wonder if they would cut Bucknor outright. Or would they give up on Brendan Morgan or Derek Jones? Could be some interesting decisions by the end of training camp. Lots of competition at linebacker too. I can't see Rush and Gauthier both making the team... Edited May 12, 20169 yr by Atomic Report

Waggoner has shown some flashes and has a year of learning under his belt. Loffler has had none of that and has had several serious injury problems. Even walters said that hes a prospect and a guy that maybe can contribute on teams this year. Report

Loffler has barely played since he left high school, only 2 seasons out of 5. Waggoner played 42 games of D1 and was an all-conference player. Report

Loffler's just getting the standard post-draft tire pumping from Walters. I'm pretty sure Waggoner got far more psi blown up his wazoo last year. More likely Walters wanted to keep the topic on this crop of draft picks, rather than playing the "where would Waggoner have been drafted" game. Report

I'm saying we have no reason to believe they'll be better than replacement level players in 2016. I wouldn't be penciling any of them in for starting jobs this year, one of them is going to have to come out and take it in camp. Report
May 12, 20169 yr comment_195874 I haven't seen anyone saying that any of these guys are being penciled in as starters. And simple logic says that Waggoner, with a year under his belt will be a lot closer that most of the "new guys". Report

A year of practices, STs some game time on D, and a full TC is huge. Report
May 12, 20169 yr comment_195876 Couture is likely OL #7, behind the 4 other NIs and whichever two I start. Corney is likely a rotational DL this year. Loffler (not sure). Gauthier, STer this year. The other OL goes back to school. Butcher on the PR or back to school. Who among us is overinflating the tires? Report
May 12, 20169 yr comment_195877 Just because Waggoner has a year under his belt doesn't mean he's a better player. I'm just saying that from everything I've read & heard Lofler seems more pro ready. Edited May 12, 20169 yr by iso_55 Report
