Letting McCallister go will be a mistake akin to us letting Shaq Richardson go a few years ago. Sometimes you have to wonder what more guys need to do.
I don’t think Walters has drafted poorly but I think he gets a reputation for being a great drafter that isn’t completely earned. Gray and Peterman are the only two guys left from the 17 and 18 drafts on this team.
Wouldn’t have been by me but most people on this board don’t want to hear that the new player drafted with the top pick is going to be garbage sight unseen. Even if it’s true.
Not saying that Simonise will ever be great, let alone good but he was always miles better than Ekakitie. That guy was a disaster the moment he was drafted. The worst example of being afraid to draft a guy who would test the NFL at 1.
It’s like saying you’ll cut Matthews because Lawler played better in two preseason games. Even if it’s true, they serve completely different purposes. Neither Petermann or Schrot will ever be a great WR. They are pure slot guys. If Matthews or Adams go down, we literally have no one to replace either of them other than pushing Wolitarsky back outside. All the import guys who have performed well in camp are slots.
Petermann and Schrot are only similar to Simonise in terms of their passport. He’s a pure jump ball wideout. No other Canadian replaces that, even if they become superior receivers.
Cutting a guy with a ton of talent for drops in one game is not the way I would go about things. It’s how you end up gifting another team 5 years of prime Adarius Bowman. And that was at least an issue with drops over an entire season. Not saying this will burn us for sure, but he was the only Canadian receiver of that body type and type of talent that we had.
