honestly, going forward, we should aim to take a wr in rounds 1-3 every year. were a pass first offense, josh will always make good use of these picks. keeps us stocked to the gills, shields us for retirements/cap casualty down the road. makes decisions easier on who to sign or let go because of the cap. josh is going to make WRs better, so we could potentially have some great trade bait down the road tl:dr keep the wr pipeline flowing with high picks

who? next years qbs?

Was wondering if they ever update that? It's one thing to have guessed that a month ago, versus earlier this week after we see all the $3m signings

If I win NFL Offensive POY, you'll remember this day too lol

Watching his 2021 highlights. Downhill heavy runner lol tacklers bounce off him. I like the pickup with managed expectations. Luckily we just needed a lil more juice, and he's a good fit. Get to bills v pats it was either sun or Monday, must've been that windy game, gawd dangggggg did he trample us. Still infuriating lol

i forget what it was exactly, but i remember it was a peptide related to healing much more than any performance enhancer. it really doesnt overly concern me as something hed pop for again. silly that players get any pushback about taking things for injury. the whole league should be on low dose growth for longevity and recovery. growth hormone isnt 'cheating', its not making anyone faster, stronger twitchier. just helps nagging injuries, improves their quality of play, and quality of the product on field. in 10years everyone will be laughing that this was ever a thing

I've tried to find breakdowns of stats comparing slot/outside and can't. The only place i can even find WR snap count allignment breakdowns is Rotoworld, and they wanted my CC lol

Why would we do that? We have perennial all-pro, number 1 #2 WR Gabe Davis, who had 3 good games this year!

I'm 90% sure you're going to do everything in your power to NOT answer this Below i've circled games that are 100% unacceptable from a #2 WR. There are 9 of his 15 games played circled 7 of the 9 have no TD's Which of these are acceptable to you for a WR2 to have?

You're right on doubling his y/g and recs, but 423/42 is damn low for a starting slot, so it was not a good year, and especially not in our offense. Him and Gabe were certainly not carrying their weight, and it showed by what Diggs was asked to do. I dont blame him at all for the frustration. On the Gabe side of things. Investment was a bad word. Not at all a bad return on the 4th, and think he'd be an #3 on the outside, but he can't be a starter. I dont care how we do it really, but it as absolutely crucial that we find a replacement. We're cap strapped. Move Ed for what you can to offload that salary, the offense needs that money, or the pick Sign OBJ in a few weeks after $$ comes down, or pluck another guy they like. Or, wait to make an on the fly trade, go up for a guy you like better . #27, a 3rd (preferably lower) this year, then whatever it takes from next years, to go get a guy you're in love with. Rest of draft can be OL heavy. Later rounds for LB/S/RB. It's gunna hurt, but the offense has been long neglected its time to get aggressive

Had to look it up. Gabe's 48 was in a 5 way tie for 79th in receptions. Behind a bunch of TE's and change of pace RB's 48 catches would've been good enough to be 17th among TE's

He could bring what he does on a much lower snap count. Which sounds like reverse of McKenzies year. McK goes from role to starter and he has 100 more yards on the year. Thats what we call a diminished return folks. Theyre bad investments.

I don't care about his yards on the season stat. Take out one blowout game (we still destroy them if he was out) and his yards on the season absolutely sucks for a #2 in this offense. Nobodies is in an outage over his yards this year. People are pissed because he does not change the outcome of drives and games anywhere near enough. 3 catch/game avg. 48 catches on the year. Disgusting and rage inducing. He's not helping us move the chains. He's not helping draw coverage away from Diggs or our slot or Knox. He contributes to stalled drives by not contributing. Stalled drives = less points, but also keeps Josh from getting in a rhythm flow state. It feels like we have the worlds greatest 10 man offense. Get the #@$& OPEN! Catch the #%@&$g ball!! And if he can't manage to do that consistently, then he can come in and play redzone snaps, the way a rotational player does. DOES. NOT. IMPACT. GAMES. 3 - 4 HIGHLIGHT DEEPBALL TD'S/ YEAR DOES NOT MAKE YOU A #2 RECEIVER Gabe is why we can't have the dink and dunk offense we want and look so f'n sharp with. He's a major part of us having to throw 40yard bombs on 3rd and 4 in playoff games. If you need 5 seconds and 40 yards of room to get open, you don't deserve to start here. You're a situational player.

Ive seen enough people lobbying for a TE early in the draft, why? We've shown it to be a low priority position for 20 years. For 10 of it, the position has been very overdrafted by the league as a whole. Its a hard position to project how a player will handle the jump, even ones taken very early. Theyre molasses slow to develop. A 1k yard TE is an absolute unicorn sighting of an appearance. Theres a bunch of 1k WRs every year. First downs? Emphasize the slot. Elite TE's in the redzone are very special, no denying that. However, when you consider the miss rate on TEs, it seems like an astronomical price to pay for a position for that leads to less yards, higher bust rates, lower benefits of the rookie contracts with the steep learning curve of years 1 & 2. Im open to being wrong (I expect to get blasted here and Im open to it), I understand the versatility provided leads to less tipping off your plays by personnel. If I want yards & TDs, 1st downs, I want a WR. If i want blocking gimme an OL or a lower round blocking TE. The TD's are less clear cut in making up, but if you cant make them up by scheming them to your WRs and passing to your backs, are you going to be able to scheme them open for a TE? Im not saying Id never draft a TE, but Id be more than OK never drafting one rounds 1-3, and paying a premium in free agency. Let someone else draft them high, take on the bust risk and get them up to speed. I'll have my FA dollars ready if it's an absolute must have

right. terrible, terrible, terrible idea

Justin Houston Ingraham seems like they both have juice in em and played for 3 & 4m last year. unreal bargain we should def add another somewhere after the 3rd rd, depending on how our draft goes

Every. Damn. Time.

Whenever I used a magic 8-ball, I just woke up with an empty wallet, weird smells, and an unfamiliar car with a broken window in my driveway. It was a different time back in 2020

I fully agree with you, its a reasonable take, but some things you dont say. I dont tell my gf which chicks are hotter, and Id never reveal her ranking lollllllllll

https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/deonte-harris-player-injuries While technically true, its more nuanced then that. His first trip to IR was on December 19, 2020th for a neck stinger, not exactly a recurring injury risk. 2019 he was ruled out for 2 games due to a hamstring. Was ruled out again for 1 game 2021 for a hammy. Last year sent him to IR w/ turf toe w/ week 5 injury. If operated on (it was) its not considered to be a major re-injury risk. if you want to argue he's too small to hold up through an NFL season that's one thing, but the history is pretty far from being problematic, and unlikely any of these injuries had anything to do with his size. He's an unproven guy with nice upside, and a skill that cant be taught, that several teams were trying to sign. He chose to sign here for less, on a contract we can get out of easily after this year if we don't like it. Sounds like a player willing to work and that's betting on himself. McK has absolutely proven what he is. I like his odds of beating a 400 yard season. Similar floor to mck, much higher ceiling. Can we let the dude play a game before we all decide he's trash and a dumb signing lol

He is... To work his bbq stand full time lol im calling it now, hes this years Feliciano in that he'll air out some sour grapes stuff publicly. i didnt care for his live interview/show at the bar last offseason, but chalked it up to some fair frustration. then i heard a very credible story on how he treats regular people (not even a fan, cause I know we've been rough on him at times), and cant say i buy into the silly guy schtick. im sure theres plenty of that around the league, but cant say im a fan of the guy. fully expect some more sour grapes from him within the next few weeks

I thought that too, but why in the heck are WRs fine. were not talking an isolated incident either, how many starting receivers are outta the league by 27 by comparison? None lol id be curious to see a study of 40 times across a career for receivers and backs. i get theyre diff positions, but that different? weird

with the quality of backs weve seen sign for $3m we can do better, or he can lower his ask absolutely insane how much backs value has deteriorated. Beanie Babies hold their value better. SERIOUS QUESTION - wtf happened to backs that their careers are basically toast by 26-27???? Look at the backs of 90s- early 2000s. They were getting infinite more carries, everyone was THE workhorse, and they plaid till 30+ at high levels. Why is this happening? Anyone have some theories they like?

honestly too young to have seen him but dont doubt you. think i was the only kid in america with a cael poster on his wall lol

whats wrong with ingraham and houston. imo these are the perfect signing for us i know everyones really down on Bernard, but bare minimum, i think he'd excel at this
