True to an extent, but I'm not sure you can get a complete picture. As an example you suggest "fit". Since we can only speculate on what his role might theoretically entail, I have doubts about how solid of a foundation that speculation would really have.We can have an opinion on talent level and fit without being at this camp. And the salary consideration is huge too. We can make an honest, informed judgement on those factors.
If you are just going by collegiate performance, Gaskin's college career blows White's away. Neither are particularly fast, nor do they break many tackles.
As to the salary, Huge is a bit of an overstatement, but no doubt could be a factor. I stated in another post, All other things being equal, you keep the cheaper guy. If the staff sees upside potential, and are concerned about White being "poached", that might be another factor.
I'm not beating the drum for Gaskin. I think it's likely Gaskin gets waived and White ends up on the PS.
All I'm arguing is that the White hype seems more like wishful thinking than concrete objective analysis. I mean the guy did go undrafted, and Gaskin has an experience edge for sure. Either way, expecting either of them to somehow explode on the NFL scene this year as an impactful, high usage player is something I just don't believe.
I'm not passing any long term judgement on White here, just that those expecting him to be a highly "surprise" impact player (which is exactly what was purported) seems premature and unfounded.
