Cousins played well, Boone looked solid in relief (yes YV, Boone played well ), Thielen was quiet but doesnt surprise me, defense was solid (not as much early) but overall great job.

Hunter and Kendricks are co-defensive MVPs IMO. They are both unreal this year.

Side note: I really like what we have in Watts. He made a few decent plays again today. Pretty solid for a 6th round rookie. This rookie class overall has been very solid so far.

-Bradbury has been up and down but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
-Irv is an absolute stud
-Mattison is a stud.
-Samia is an unknown but I'm intrigued
-Cam Smith I would say is a miss right now
-Watts is a huge hit for a 6th rounder
-Epps is gone
-Udoh made the team and is intriguing
-Boyd has been okay as a depth piece/special teamer
-Mitchell on the practice squad
-Bisi Johnson is a huge hit for a 7th rounder
-Cutting has been solid this year

This is a big reason why I like Spielman accumulating picks late. Because of guys like Watts and Bisi. The more late picks you have, the more chance you have to hit on picks. If nobody is there you're dying to get when you're up, accumulate all the picks you can. I know some dont like the strategy but I'm a fan for sure.

I think Speilman knocked it out of the park. Bradbury stepped in from day one. That's extremely difficult. C is a hard position. Irv has some speed and great movement. I didn't think he would do anything. This Mattison has also been a solid contributor. I felt good about him. Samia I guess he needed time. That's ok. Bisi has done great for his spot. Far beyond what I expected. We needed him to help. I was down on all the late picks because the value typically isn't there. But it saved our season this year. We got contributions from top to bottom.

Depending on what the team thinks of Samia and Udoh, this might be the first time in years that OL isn't a major need going into the offseason. Rashod Hill is almost certainly gone via FA but Dakota Dozier has done well and they still have Aviante Collins who has a skill set that fits what the team does on Offense pretty darn well.

WR is looking top heavy but solid. Diggs and Thielen are obviously a strong duo, past that Bisi shows some potential, Treadwell can probably retained for very little as a 4th/5th WR. Beebe probably can't stay healthy, which is a shame.

RB is stacked. Cook, Mattison and Boone are a strong trio, and I believe Ham could be a weapon at HB as well.

Depending what happens with Morgan, TE might be in good shape next year as well.

This is the year to get a QB early in the draft.
