it's not like we have great play at nickel this year. Losing NRC should have opened the door for Long. He lost out to an UDFA.
As far as Gaines, Sebastian Joseph Day doesn't exactly wreak havoc on offenses. The fact that Gaines sits behind him should tell you something.
I'm not throwing shade at Snead. The draft is a crap shoot and these guys are all still young. But after all the hype about Rapp as a steal in the 2nd round. He seems like an ordinary second round pick. He also lost his job to a rookie 6th rounder who everyone on the team was raving about.
