Episode notes
Target Hybrid Safeties For Multiple Fronts
- Consider hybrid safeties like Nick Cross for defenses planning to rotate fronts and disguise pressure.
- Target versatile players who cost less but expand pre-snap and post-snap schematic options.
Contenders May Prioritize Reliability Over Flair
- San Francisco and Buffalo need receiver depth but may prefer reliable chain-movers over pure vertical threats.
- Rashid Shaheed offers fireworks, while teams may seek steadier options for systematic drives.
Buy Stability In The Interior Line
- Pairing veteran interior linemen can stabilize a shaky offensive line and protect elite QBs like Josh Allen.
- Connolly advocates bringing in experienced center-guard tandems to reduce pressure and assignment breakdowns.
