We'll find out whether he can separate against NFL guys soon enough. If he can, he's got a chance to stick. If not, just another guy who was good in college and not good enough for the NFL.

No they are undrafted DB's.....

The spike in production was basically based on 4 50+yard plays whereas he had 0 of those in 2023. Hard to say if it was YAC based or Ward buying more time with his mobility than whoever was the QB in 2023.

The short area stuff was bad too at least in terms of what was recorded.

In fairness though, Burks is getting way too much hell for tearing an ACL in practice (it happens). Yeah he's been a massive disappointment but man has he had some bad injury luck too. Anything he does is a bonus at this point and very clear the team is not depending on him like in the past. Given the contract, though, there's no impetus to move on yet.

So did Ward.....

I think they really like Oliver and I do too. I'd say the 2 drafted WR's are likely to make it barring injury or bombing in camp.

It doesn't matter since NN thinks Ward's good for a 14-17 PPG jump!

The question with Burks is when he'll be ready to participate. Seemed like he is likely to miss at least some of TC on the PUP. If healthy, he likely would be the Z opposite Ridley. I'd assume that would be Jefferson to start at camp unless they want Lockett to be out there when it's 12 or 21 personnel.

He participated in the full Ward throwing session workout after this. Didn't look injured there.

Don't forget Jefferson too.

Even 7-10 PPG is way too high as an expectation. 3-5 would be far more reasonable and in line with what Daniels and Nix and Maye experienced last year as rookies. Caleb was an outlier of sorts as their PPG went down which is a big reason why the Bears cleaned house with the coaching staff.

Curious to see what the contract terms are in terms of SB - would be another indicator of how the team feels. That said, it's a no brainer to think the drafted guys in 4 have a better shot of sticking.

I think you have to assume that the day 3 guys are not going to start right away and at best are depth pieces who can play special teams early on. Dike can play inside and out, return punts and kicks, and was the gunner on the punt coverage team.

Buffalo's ceiling and playoff issues have been defense. Points allowed in Playoff losses since 2020: 38, 42, 27, 27, 32. 33.2 PPG allowed.

You are insane if you think the Titans are going to jump from 18 PPG to 32 - 35 PPG. I'm optimistic Ward will improve QB play and scoring and that will result in more wins but this is simply a laughable baseline. A far more reasonable expectation is a 4-7 PPG jump and that's being optimistic.

Your chemo riddled brain is broken.

Draft Day is such a dumb fucking movie. Costner should be ashamed and stick to baseball.

The entire idea of religion is to collect money from dullards, who are afraid to die and want to believe that there’s this afterlife that will be better.

I’m sure they did once they finalized everything in the process. I’m sorry you had a pretty good clue after the private workout that he was gonna be a Titan.

this is the chemo talking

Drew Lock had the game of his life and of course it was against the fucking Colts ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

A massively unproven group at this point. Packed as a massive overreach. It’spotentially decent to good if th young guys hit.

Fant and a couple of the DB's but as a whole it's a bunch of woof.....
