This and BA is a politician helping get a stadium inside DC.

Bruce Allen is holding the same position on the team as Cerrato - a buddy for Dan Snyder and a conduit for Snyder to interfere on the teams business. He is also working on getting someone to shell out a cool Billion for a new stadium.

What Bruce Allen is not is a GM - I mean look at the Alex Smith deal and see what a cap disaster that is for the team.

Dan and Bruce high fiving since the draft

Everyone got wet from the splash

When I read this the first thing I though was: Someone play MMOs. All I can see is a Bruce Allen toon getting 1 shot as Dan the Wizard starts to run. Dont know if you play MMOs but thanks for the image anyway.

It would be great to release V Davis post June 1 and move the other two up. That Free Safety position is a huge glaring need...they need to sign someone there asap.

Likely they restructure Davis. I'd say he still has better capability than Sprinkle or Flanagan, as he showed when Reed was injured. Plus he always seems healthy unlike Reed.

Vernon Davis cant block at all. we need TE who blocks. Reed is a better blocker than Davis...especially when healthy. VD shouldn't be on the team and def should not be making 6 mill.

Vernon Davis is getting too old for the NFL. He had some significant drops last year. Time to bring in the new blood or get a FA TE on a one year contract to see what he has.

Every single draft pick is an excellent addition to the team.....I can see only one or two being on the practice squad.

That was a joke, right? Davis is not as good a blocker as Reed? C'mon, man!

I don't think of Flanigan in the same category as Davis and Reed. He is strictly a role player whose role is to block, either as a TE or as a FB.

yup...very true. VD is old, is it that hard to believe...both do a below avg job. VD is a one trick pony at this time and too many drops at pivotal times...he's not worth a roster spot. Cut him after June 1 and sign Tre Boston.

Sweat had a 84.9 PFF rushing grade in 2018. That is insane. Really excited to see him pair with RK

VD has been our only deep threat the past few seasons.
We should move away from him but not without getting someone better to replace him.

All our TEs are one trick ponies.
We need a complete TE.

We need to get more out of the TE position, for sure. Hopefully with our run-first approach they can find some holes in coverage.

I'm sure Reed can still make life easier for Haskins as well. Who knows, we might see a resurgence from the position if Haskins can distribute like he did at OSU.

As for our TE's blocking? ... Yeah, we need an upgrade.

Wow! I had no idea that Matt I. graded that high as a pass rusher. Nice to know he'll be on our side for the next three seasons.
