Hmm that's a really tough one for me. Olave is the higher floor and more expensive, BTJ is the higher ceiling and cheaper. Olave also has a real injury concern. Gun to my head I probably take the higher floor in Olave because I know exactly what I'm getting with him and I think it's enough to push this offense over the top. BTJ there is a legit concern that he is mentally broken. But more and more reports are coming out that they are not going to trade Olave. So BTJ might be the only #1 option available. If they can add Shaheed sure do it, but we need more.

We haven't traded away a 1st round pick since 2020, and that trade ended up one of the best additions in franchise history. It feels like it is the right time to make that sort of blockbuster trade. Next year's draft supposedly is strong in LBs, safeties, and IOL. We don't need 1st round talents at those positions. We need a legit WR to complete our offense. Any use of a 1st round pick is a risk. I'll take the player that put up 1,200 yards in year one over any random rookie.

Well that's my point. Teams would need to give a 1st to make them willing to trade him. You can't expect them to give up a 1,200 yard rookie WR for anything less than that... regardless of how he has looked this year.

BTJ is on year two of a rookie deal... It is definitely taking a 1st. The contract affects the value.

I'll be interested to see the snap counts. I think only two passes were thrown in the direction of his coverage and he had his man locked down on both targets. The few other times I saw him out there Dalton looked and threw to the opposite side of the field. It was nice seeing an opposing WR running across the field with a Bills CB in his hip pocket. Haven't seen that this year.

@Freddie's Dead asked me to step in this week. Cook Cook Cook Shakir Hoecht Walker There's probably more in the front 7 that deserve it, dominant performance from them. Ditto for the run blocking.

I know the defense has been great today but Benford continues to be targeted and has given up a lot of catches today. He just isn't right. Luckily the pass rush is getting it done all on their own.

Is it uncouth of me to say the LB play has been significantly better with Thompson taking his place? Maybe he should rest that ankle a while longer.

We got back to basics today. Pound Cook, get the ball in Shakir's hands. That has to be 90% of our offense.

Watch the replays. Greg Olsen is showing you exactly what's happening on every play.

The totality of the game is that he had one awful missed throw, and otherwise he is looking looking looking downfield, and then the replay confirms no one was open.

Cook or Shakir breaking one. That's our only hope on offense right now.

No he didn't? On the replay everyone is locked up

Ah my bad. I swear the graphic earlier showed us missing a TO

If they score a TD here it's on McDermott for calling that TO. He is too obsessed with getting the perfect outcome. In a game like this just get to halftime

Why does McDermott keep calling these end of half timeouts that help the opponent? Give it up man.

The AJ special!

Looked like his footwork was all wrong... This passing offense isn't all or even mostly on Allen but he looks kind of broken right now.

I love Mad Max's energy

There's your offense! Just keep spamming it

Yikes not used to seeing Taron get dusted like that

Guys need to start getting benched for crap like what Samuel just did. We are an extremely low margin for error offense because we have zero downfield passing. Can't live with mistakes like that.

Brady just can't get the dumb mistakes out of his offense
