General Manager Notes: Training Camp 2094!
Some good news, some dreadful news.

Okay, let's start with a roster breakdown, post camp, as I haven't made a list of our team yet. We're out of camp with 68 signed, 8 players won't make the pre-season roster, obviously. As per usual, I'll round the scouted 0-100 scale grades to the nearest 5's. Training camp 'results' are the actual numbers.

Quarterbacks
35/35 (no ch.) Moe Sheldon
20/50 (+5/+1) Earnest Ashley (R)
15/35 (+2/-1) Marshall Ellard (R)
15/30 (+2/nc) Jon Giles (KH)
15/25 (+2/nc) Lorenzo Emerson
05/25 (+1/-2) Herb Bensen (R) (KH)
Ashley's progress is very promising. Lack of progress for the other youngsters reason to be underwhelmed about them.
cut: Ellard, Emerson
bubble: Giles or Bensen

Running backs
45/45 (+2/nc) Trey Beyer
45/45 (no ch.) Francisco Patter
40/40 (no ch.) Reggie Thongchanh
35/35 (no ch.) FB Clay Brosseau
25/35 (+3/-1) FB Owen Johnston (R)
25/25 (no ch.) Darien Bettencourt
20/25 (+1/-2) Philip Cote (R)
Beyer is comin' Patter and Thong' have to look over their shoulders. Johnston is promising, but special teams skills only can give him a chance.
cut: Cote
bubble: Johnston or Bettencourt

Tight Ends
55/55 (no ch.) Clay Gaynor
50/50 (no ch.) Clarence Gore
25/30 (+3/nc) Ike Nixon
20/30 (+2/nc) James Finley (R)
20/25 (+2/-2) Norman Blades (R)
20/20 (no ch.) Renaldo Crawford
Not much going on here. Gaynor and Gore are the guys, Crawford our run blocker.
cut: Finley
bubble: Nixon or Blades

Wide Receivers
55/70 (no ch.) Ed Schulz
60/60 (no ch.) Theodore Bondy
45/50 (+4/nc) Rickey Lyle (KR)
45/45 (no ch.) George Stuckey
40/40 (no ch.) Branden Sandlin
30/30 (no ch.) Santiago Messenger (KR)
20/35 (+2/-1) Sergio Bishop (R)
25/25 (+2/nc) Mark Perkins (PR)
Wait, what? Indeed, Schulz saw no progress at all. That's one of the most worrying things I've seen in years. This kid is supposed to be the next WR1.
cut: Bishop
bubble: maybe Sandlin, maybe Perkins

Offensive Linemen
65/75 (+7/nc) C Robbie Zinn
60/60 (no ch.) RT Howard Humphrey
60/60 (no ch.) G Michael Szott
40/70 (+7/-1) LT Isaac Delgado (R)
30/55 (+6/-2) LT Johnnie Houston (R)
45/45 (+2/+1) G Hayden Gaylor
40/40 (no ch.) G Andre Watson
30/35 (+4/nc) C Lewis Azzolini
25/30 (no ch.) LT Byron Irvin
Rookies Delgado and Houston both look good. One of them will be our LT, Houston appears to have made the swap with no problem, the other might be our OL6 or might push Watson out of the lineup.
cut: Irvin
bubble: nobody

Defensive Linemen
65/65 (no ch.) DT Darien Fletcher
55/55 (no ch.) DT Jumbo Mojica
50/50 (no ch.) DE Gene Kondovski
45/45 (no ch.) DE Archie Exner
35/45 (+5/nc) DT Caleb Domis
35/45 (+5/-11) DT Harold Gough (R)
35/35 (no ch.) DE Trent Donovan
30/30 (no ch.) DT Kurt Ackerman
30/30 (no ch.) DE Tony Whiting
15/25 (+4/-2) DE Reggie Bundy (R)
Gough is enigmatic. Progress is a good sign, regression a horrible sign. More after pre-season. The rest of the unit is the same as last season.
cut: Bundy
bubble: Gough, Domis or Donovan

Linebackers
70/70 (no ch.) Brandon Brady
50/50 (no ch.) Daquan Espino
45/45 (no ch.) Clayton Jackson
30/35 (+6/-3) Andrew Cochrane (R)
30/30 (no ch.) Jose Meadows
20/40 (+2/-4) Kirk Barber (R)
30/30 (no ch.) Les Flowers (new)
30/30 (no ch.) Brant Rayburn
10/10 (no ch.) Alec Palmer
The Brady bunch? Flowers is a pass rusher, but I doubt he'll stick around as a LB playing at DE. A lot of guys are purely special teamers, they will play there ahead of Brady or Espino.
cut: Barber
bubble: Cochrane, Meadows and Flowers

Secondary
65/65 (no ch.) S Devon Farrell
50/50 (no ch.) CB Jackie Richardson
40/45 (+2/-1) CB Zachery Weisz (R)
40/40 (no ch.) CB Adam Harmon
40/40 (no ch.) S Chuck Murray
35/35 (no ch.) S Jon Bozeman
30/35 (+3/nc) CB Britt Hudson
25/35 (+2/-3) CB Bryson Swafford (R)
25/35 (+4/nc) S Gabriel Cromer
20/35 (+1/-4) CB Keegan Cosby (R) (KR)
Swafford is very disappointing, but he'll hang around for at least 2 seasons and 3 training camps, promise. Ditto on Weisz, who does ready to jump in as a nickel or dime already.
bubble: Cosby, Cromer

Punter
85/85 (+4/-2) Doug James
Best in business

Kicker
80/80 (no ch.) Dylan McMullen
Second best in business

Long snapper
20/20 (no ch.) Bryce Karney
Third best in business

So yeah, Ashley is good news, Schulz was disturbing, Gough puzzling, Swafford disappointing. The tackles Delgado and Houston are both considered to be underrated (my staff had them both as 'as scouted').

More on this in two days, when everything we saw now, might be completely different.
