For many of you the answer to this will be James Washington or Terrell Edmunds, but there is one player who has been forgotten about this offseason, Tyler Matakevich. Most fans will remember the awful job Sean Spence did while filling in for Ryan Shazier and blame the front office for not having a strong […]

Lot of unknowns this off-season. Hell coaches probably have no idea how a few of these plays out.

This will be a fun training camp to watch.
 
I agree slash and envy those who get a chance to actually attend. I don't think "Big Red" has been forgotten but I do think many here are the "wait and see" list as to his healing up from his injury. I need to see him play before I can agree he may take the starter spot..............That's what camp battles are for, competition to sort things out. Good luck to him because the better he is the better the team is......... A slide rule effect.

I love the James Washington pick and think he will have a great shot for putting up some really good numbers this first season. Hard worker that’s not afraid to go over the middle, has good hands and will get plenty of yac.
Edmunds imo was a huge reach that could have been had likely in the third round. I just do not see anything that jumps out at me but would like to be wrong.

McDonald was very close to breaking out and had a very good playoff game vs the Jaguars. He's my pick. With AB on one side, Ju-Ju on the other teams won't be focusing on McDonald. He's too fast for LB's and too big for DB's.*

Of the rookies. Terrell Edmunds has the best chance to play early. I do think Rudolph will open some eyes in camp.
 
I don't think rookies count as breakout players.. they're rookies!

I think a breakout player will be Tuitt. We have seen flashes of what he's capable of, but then he had that torn bicep last year. I think he's going to be an absolute ogre this year
 
I dont think a breakout player can be a rookie. To me breakout is a year 2-3 guy who has been waiting in the wings. Im taking Brian Allen. Though it might be difficult to get into sub packages because I think he might be a starting corner or nothing guy. He is kinda tall for the slot. Could take an injury you dont want for him to get an opportunity on the outside.
