Some thoughts:

 

  • Oliver absolutely should be higher up at WR with Burks recovering from the ACL and Kinsey slotted there.
  • They may want to add an in-line TE to the mix.  Chig, Whylie, and Helm all seem more F types.
  • Proche probably should be in the mix at KR too.
  • OL wise, the swing T is needing some vet added to the mix.
  • NT/DT paper thin
  • Not sure Reese is first team ILB.  Think that's wide open with Gray, him, and Williams.

Im trying to figure out which of right and left wr is x and z.

 

I would put elic, burkes and dowell as the x guys. 

 

Ridley, dike, bryce for the z spot

 

Lockett, restrepo and kinsey for slot. 

 

Idk where van traditionally plays. And lockett can play anywhere and ridley can play x or z. 

 

Their wr list just seems random.

It does to a point.  Issue is that the veterans by and large can and have played all 3 spots.  Ridley plays both X< Z,  and slot but played more Z last year than X.  Lockett was almost even across X, Z, and slot last year in Seattle.  Jefferson can play all 3 too but last year most of his snaps were at Z,  Burks was more X than Z but was evenly split among all 3 in 2023.

 

I think the only guys that are pigeon holed on the roster are the slot guys - Jackson, Kinsey, and now Restrepo.

Helm will be TE1 by mid-season.  He's got more talent than Chig and Whyle put together.  

He played some in-line early on at Texas but needs some technique work and additional strength.

Helm has the build to be a good blocker.. hopefully he figures that out quick

He certainly has the will and looks like he has the tenacity for it. If he bulks up to 250-255 along with coaching he should do fine, not maul people but maybe a jonnu like blocking arc for comparison.
