Blue Chip - none

Red Chip - Banks, Young, Fuaga, Olave, McCoy*

Orange Chip - Shough, Bresee, Alontae (FA), Sanker, Kool Aid, Riley

Hope: Stutsman, Stallbird, Vele, Broughton

Darts: Simpkins, Neal, Richards, Palmer, Polk

Key Vets: Kamara, Granderson, Werner, Reid, Ruiz, Juwan, Howden

Still a long way to go, but add another RED chip player like Caleb Downs/Reuben Bain/Arvelle Reese + back that up with another solid class of mid rounders and things start looking UP going into 2027 with another top 10 pick + 100M in cap space

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

You lost all credibility with that one. Young is worthless. Old man Cam Jordan consistently outplays him with fewer snaps.

Is Howden a veteran? Isn't this just his 2nd year?

Chase Young could fall in the blue chip category, but I don't disagree with this list.

Your orange list was good, I'd add the punter to it. Hope, good list, I'd add our 2 young corners

We need 2 new Guards, NT, and FG kicker'

Real Gs, not pretend T or C moving to G. Just pure, raw, GUARDS!

I agree with all your comments. But who did Toricelli piss off after the first few games this season. He’s never on the field now.

Red chip* but has only played 14 out of 34 games the last two seasons. Probably his last shot to stay healthy before we’re forced to find a long term replacement.

Kendre’s unfortunately completely unreliable and in a contract year next year. I can see both sides moving ON (and him thriving elsewhere of course)

Howden is going into his 4th year, so yes, Key Vet

Downs will be a blue chipper from the day you draft him.

Young has had a tackle for loss or a sack in each game he’s played in this season

I don't think you know what a blue-chip prospect is. Banks is the walking definition of one.

I absoutely want to trade back and pick him. No safety has been picked top 10 in YEARS. I don't expect that to change.

Yes, we absolutely need WRs and DEs but the dude is going to be a star safety. Malik Hooker without the injuries.

Banks


Consider this in your eval

-LT
- 3rd youngest player in NFL
- left on an island without help more than any OL in the league

Think he really has found his footing. He wiped Jared Verse from the gameplan 1v1 last week and you didn’t hear his name this week

This past years draft could be cornerstone for the future. If we can have another good draft and pick up a pass rusher, run stuffing DT, a guard, a WR and a late rd rb & safety I’d be thrilled.

Franchise LT is as difficult to get as a Franchise QB. We possibly got both in the same draft.

What is Chase Young elite at? Bull rushing? He has three moves. 1) Bull rush to the QB and not getting a sack, 2) ‘speed’ rushing beyond the pocket and 3) speed rushing beyond the running back and being a non-factor in the run game.

Last week against old man Stafford, two stats stand out:
Rams sustained blocks for 2.5 seconds 83% of the time vs. Saints, and
Rams had best pass block win rate in a game since 2022.

Saints have no pass rush. Granderson, Young and Cam ain’t getting it done. Our only real pass rush is bring Taylor out of the slot or letting Bresee go bull in a china shop up the middle.
