QB - Looks to me that Howard is definitely ahead of Crest right now. Howard seems to understand the O better and is looking downfield better IMO. Crest has the tools and very well may take over, but currently is a little behind.



I watched the QBs during drills and Howard just looked the most comfortable. Unfortunately, I wasn't super impressed with Sills throwing motion and unlike another post from yesterday; I didn't think he threw with a lot of velocity. Chugunov threw three ducks in a row and didn't even hit the net during the drill I witnessed - the nose of his ball was always pointed down for whatever that's worth.



RB - Shell and Smallwood looked fine - I was really hoping to see Donte, but he was just goofing around on the sidelines. Jacky showed something a couple times and should be able to contribute.



WR - These guys need some work for sure. Gibson had the drops. Thompson is a known entity. Mathis is big looking, so maybe he can step up. I thought Ricky Rogers had a good looking WR frame.



OL - Didn't see much to worry about here. They looked pretty good to me. Bosch is a mature looking kid. I thought Cajuste looked ok the couple times I watched him. The snaps didn't look great, so hopefully we can improve on that this off season.



DL - Really good looking group! Rose looks great. Noble is looking great. Brown and Howard looked fine also. Tyree Owens was impressive in a couple drills and Angus is enormous.



LB - Thought Kwiatkoski, Benton, Barber (was he #42) stood out. Shaq Petteway looked a lot thicker this spring.



DB - Looked great to me. Chestnut played well. Henry and Joseph looked really good and I thought Ricky Rumph played well. Worley looked good running laps around the field with Jarrod Harper. Worley is very strong looking (wide chest and big arms). Tyler stood out a couple time also. Jaylon Myers is definitely a nice looking athlete - I watched him a few times and he did OK. I did think Gibson slipped him on one play - one of Gibson's drops.



Punt returning still looks like it needs a lot of work.
