Juwann Winfree and Dre'mont Jones should make the final 53. Khalfani Muhammed should be considered strongly for the practice squad

Ugly game, but seeing everyone play with intensity for 4 quarters is a Stark difference from what we saw with a VJ led squad. Like how he kept going after the QB all night.
Players like Winfree and Lindsay are going to turn this team around. Love the spirit they have. I think Jones was also a good pick, but let's see how he plays against the #2 defenses, or even the 1's.

Dalton Risner (as good as one can get in limited reps)
Khalfani Muhammad
Juwann Winfree
Defense:
Malik Reed
DeMarcus Walker
DreMont Jones
Trey Johnson
Fant was pretty underwhelming but it’s obviously way too early to judge. I like how Scangarello tried to get him the ball early and often.
I got flashbacks of Paxton Lynch with Lock’s performance. Just like Fant, definitely too soon to conclude anything other than more experience and reps are needed.
But that defense though... imagine our first team defense is if this is how terrorizing our reserves look like. Great effort and discipline all around by the guys trying to make the roster. Definitely the most enjoyable part of the HOF game to watch tonight.
I agree with most of that. Fant is a much better blocker than what I was expecting. And the Lynch/Lock comparison isn't far off except that Lynch never showed a sign of being anything. Lock had a few drops, and there's not much to be taken from his first NFL pre-season game. The final thing I'd say is that Dre'mont Jones is a keeper. And that may be bad news for DeMarcus Walker's future as a Bronco.
As impressive as a winning drive in the first preseason game is...
I didn't see much to get excited about. I saw two young QBs who both played fairly bad, and showed they both have a lot to work on. I know you're very anti-Lock, that's cool, no issue with that, but it seems like you're really reaching to try and say that Rypien outplayed him in any fashion.
