Graham and Sheldon Richardson might be an either/or situation. I keep going back and forth on those two. With a better play caller, Graham should be a force to be reckoned with. Jones and McDowell would presumably compensate for the loss of Richardson.

WR was already kind of weak, and it looks even weaker without Paul Richardson. I would certainly prefer Graham to P. Richardson. I think they need to draft well at that position.

No way McEvoy makes the team. He's unreliable and sucks on special teams. Hope Jon Ryan is gone as well. He's expensive as far as punters go, and hasn't played well this year. He shanked few today, including a 28 yard can of corn. Also hope we keep Paul Richardson I've Jimmy G and Lam retires. Would also love to see a Bennett trade. Thinking something around a 5th round pick.

I stopped at Mcevoy. If he's on this team next year I will be ready for a year worse than this because the uppity upps clearly haven't woken up yet.

That's a fair opinion. They will need to do something to upgrade the WR position.

I happen to think McEvoy has a chance to get better. Great size and athleticism, catching the ball consistently comes from experience. He's cheap, which is a bonus. So we will see.

I feel the same but about Darboh.

In the scenario above, McEvoy is basically the 6th WR.

Darboh would be a starter in three-WR sets, unless they add someone better.

It's not a bad foundation, but there is definitely room for improvement at certain areas, like RB and WR.
