## What others said about the same people

- Jeremy Brener on Cooper Kupp: Brener projects Seattle's wide receiver room to include Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton, Jake Bobo and rookie Emmanuel Henderson Jr. on the 53-man roster, leaving Montorie Foster Jr. fighting for a spot despite a strong camp and preseason showing. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/088305f4-1eb4-405b-ab92-b6fd87dfb228 (scored 100)
- Michael Hanich on Rodney Thomas: Hanich projects Seattle's updated safety and nickel depth charts after Bud Clark's injury, naming Julian Love and Ty Okada as starting safeties, A.J. Finley as Love's backup, and laying out a nickel pecking order with Devon Witherspoon first, Noah Igbinoghene third and Nehemiah Pritchett behind him. He also predicts roster outcomes for D'Anthony Bell, Rodney Thomas and Andre Fuller. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/be4177fb-cf5f-4b22-bd76-3aa8229b2b3f (scored 100)
- Shannon Sharpe on Jalen Milroe: Sharpe expects Drew Lock to be Seattle's clear No. 2 quarterback, with Jaylen Milroe kept and Mitchell Trubisky released; he also predicts Shedeur Sanders will be named the Browns' starter and Deshaun Watson eventually released, and says Cleveland won't win the Super Bowl. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/7ad94c71-bd4a-4478-923a-0f6df1695352 (scored 100)
- Jeremy Brener on Jalen Milroe: Brener argues the Seahawks should trade backup quarterback Drew Lock — plausibly to the Lions for a Day 3 pick — and keep only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, with Jalen Milroe retained after his training-camp ascent. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/19b6a082-caf9-405d-8ff4-dd6a33a5c16e (scored 100)
- Jeremy Brener on Montorie Foster Jr: Brener projects Seattle's wide receiver depth chart with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp as starters, Tory Horton and Jake Bobo as backups and rookie Emmanuel Henderson Jr. claiming the sixth spot, while placing Montorie Foster Jr. 10th and expecting him to land on the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/bdd0d3fa-720a-4ecb-8179-fb07a5a98251 (scored 0)
- Brendon Nelson on Montorie Foster Jr: Recapping the Seahawks' mock game, Nelson suggests receiver Montorie Foster Jr shouldn't be counted out of the 53-man roster battle, and predicts rookie Rylie Mills will be a third game-wrecking interior defensive lineman for Seattle. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8b659235-87b4-4475-87ca-16000d16e20a (scored 100)
