Sadly not in today's NFL. It's last man up and best available at that time. Lamar has an inflated self worth as he's not MVP Lamar and has no agent to tell him different. I'm expecting him to get franchised and traded either this off-season or late during the season.
Beane knows this, he's been trying to improve the OL since he got here, sadly he made a mistake trusting Spain would live up to his first year play and trusted more in Cody Ford than Wyatt Teller. I'm sure he'll try again this offseason.
All things considered if we can get a full season and playoffs with Von Miller on defense we have as good a chance as any to win. Maybe we should keep him off the field except for obvious passing situations. *shrugs*
What if the 49ers offered us McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo for Diggs and a 1st this season and a 2nd in 2024? I am sure I could find other scenarios but are any of them likely, no, but wouldn't say under ANY scenario.
To be fair Woods missed time in 2021 with an injury and last year had arguably the worst QB throwing to him in Malik Willis. That said at best he's a middle tier #2 but more bottom tier if ask me.
Is he? 68.3 catch percentage for his career, playing with Mac Jones in two of those seasons. He's also increased his yards per game each of the last 4 seasons. He's definitely not a stud #1 but we don't need him to be, we just need a guy that can run a 10 yard pattern and catch the ball.
Johnston is arguably the best WR in the draft, I fully expect him to go no later than the mid teens of the draft.
I voted Broderick Jones as he's a great athlete and the Bills seemingly love converting OTs to other positions. If we shift him to LG he could be another Ruben Brown.
RG Chris Lindstrom UFA, Atlanta Falcons. He probably won't replicate his 2022 season but he's an above average G and he's only going to be 26 next week. I would think the Falcons would franchise him but if they're going to pursue a QB maybe they let Lindstrom go but likely wishful thinking by me.
I haven't studied the draft hard yet but a guy like Marvin Mims Jr could be available in Round 2 and be a dangerous slot guy with some speed. Yet he isn't the most reliable in terms of hands.
