Not only does Dotson have hands but his ability to track the ball is pretty special. Reminds me of Santana Moss or DeSean Jackson in that way. Just get the ball near them and chances are they will come down with it.
I was thinking that too, his ball tracking ability is amazing. I always thought of Terry McLaurin like Marvin Harrison type
Dotson has the same explosive side but that catch radius of his is ridiculous for someone who is 5'11"

Wentz had a 68 Grade yesterday (would have been 85 plus without the INTS)
Highest graded players on Offense
Rogers = 90
Gibson = 85
Samuel = 75
Cosmi = 74
Defense
Forrest = 91
Payne = 77
Sweat = 71
Allen = 70
For a minute I thought we had a mini Sean Taylor out there. #22 was smacking the shit out of people, plus had a couple of nice break ups..
I don't think we are any good on defense but the name of the game for them will be turnovers. They gotta get the ball back to the offense a couple times a game.

Signed Donovan Jeter undrafted to replace Mathis, signed by Steelers. Here’s some scouting on him, he seems below average with good size.
Positives: Nice-sized defensive tackle who had an underwhelming college career. Fires off the snap with a quick first step, keeps his feet moving, and works his hands throughout the action. Flashes power in his lower body and bull rushes opponents off the line.
Negatives: Cannot get off blocks once engaged at the point and gets held up by lesser opponents. Gets very narrow-based in his setup.
Analysis: Jeter possesses next-level size as well as growth potential, yet he never presented himself as anything other than an average college backup.

Hard to get excited about this. Aren't there some FAs still out there that would be worth a look?

I thought it was a good win. It's hard to know how a team will come out in week 1 - the first time a true game plan is put together, and all the starters are in for the majority of the game.
Considering all the new pieces I was pretty impressed with how the offense performed. When was the last time this team scored two TDs on their first two drives, and then ended the same game with a kneel down?
I thought the defense was pretty good collectively. They gave up 22 points, but 10 of those came off turnovers. Some individual players got beat, but the players on the other side are trying to make plays too. It happens, and will happen again.
Some keep talking about all the plays Jacksonville left out there, but so did Washington. "If Etienne made this catch, or if Lawrence didn't over throw this guy, if they didn't miss that FG..." I mean Washington turned the ball over three times, had dropped balls and penalties that killed drives, and still won. Don't get me wrong, the middle of the game was rough (Punt, Fumble, Punt, Punt, Interception, Interception), but the beginning and the end was very nice (TD, TD.....TD, TD, Kill the clock).
Nit-pickers will be nit-pickers, and that's all good. There's always room for improvement, but I think the Jaguars will be better than last year, and they will beat some good teams. It was a worthy opponent to start the season, and we got the W.

I feel like any other team would take one of these guys without hesitation but we have to be different.

Why would any of these guys want to sign with a team to be the 3rd DT? I mean if they do great, I just don't get the expectation of signing guys that are probably waiting for a starting opportunity.

I think the Detroit game will tell us a lot if we're really going to have a good season. It is a very winnable road game against a team that really needs to win. Detroit has had a ton of close, tough losses under Campbell. We need to secure the W and start out 2-0 this season.

I'm not so sure that they'd have a reasonable expectation of starting (and I emphasize reasonable; they may have unreasonable expectations of starting). They're not on a team right now for a reason. I would hope that we'd at least reach out and kick the tires to see what it would take to sign one of these dudes.
