    I love Lamp haha I really thought we were coming up for Kupp, then when it was a different WR it really was puzzling.

    I didn’t think they’d move up for WR. Jones, Kupp, and Smith-Schuster were all on the board. ?‍♂️. Oline looked like it dropped off after Lamp. Then they grabbed Dawkins afterwards.

    I don't mean to obsess... just when you know something and the GM does the opposite(Zay Jones) you want to make it known you made the right choice. I hit often on guys that are usually an afterthought so I love to get my I told you so's in... Also I'm not afraid to admit when I whiff, but that usually doesn't happen.

    I certainly wasn’t chirping for him. At the time of the trade up I thought they were grabbing Forrest Lamp. ?‍♂️

    yeah— it’s weird. I don’t recall him running any of those comebacks this year. 

    Maybe it’s related to a lingering groin injury. Not sure. We’ll see how it plays out over the rest of the season. If he doesn’t “turn on” down the stretch he’ll be on the roster bubble.

    How many picks of the rookie ??? Sure they won’t let him throw much, but in the limited action he has had its been a pick fest. They should get 3 if he tries 30 attempts because they are playing from way behind.  

    Well, if he throws it high over the middle in this game two Hyde and/ Poyer might be getting a call from Deon.

    I can’t remember the last time Foster ran a route other than a fly. It’s weird. If they activate him, I’d like to see him used more over the middle and on crosses like McK, at least. 

    IIRC, he was pretty good at deep outs last year and due to his speed a lot of comeback routes were open as well. I really thought he had enough to build on.

    Ha! I now live in North Carolina and that is exactly how it is at the THREAT of a snowflake :lol:

    I’ll never understand that. My primary residence is in VA on the north side of Kerr Reservoir... the way I can cruise 15 minutes and everyone’s driving disposition changes from “just pop the truck into 4x4” to “OMFG! Buy all the bread and milk!” It’s hilarious.

    Ugh, think about the cheaters having OBJ... thank God Cleveland somehow came away with him.

     

    Kupp is only in the basement of his potential, terrible injuries didn't help in year 2.

    I feel like his floor is GOAT, just needs Josh Allen lasering him the ball so he can Willy Wonka his way to the top.

    His floor is definitely lower than GOAT. Every WRs floor is tied to OC and QB... ref ODBJ. ?. There are plenty of examples of performance drop offs when an incompetent QB takes the reins of an offense. Look at D Adams season stats with Hundley throwing the ball. Went from an All pro pace to a 75/885/10 season. Rodgers comes back the next season and he posts 111/1386/13. 
     

    allen would certainly benefit from having a smart physically imposing WR. Sadly, they rarely hit the market.... Beane needs to do better.

    I'd take Evans over OBJ and Julio or even Adams. I agree about OBJ. 

     

    That comparison of Kupp is great, just like Edelman is great.

     

    A bigger, more physically gifted Edleman is the pinnacle of recieving which is exactly the mountain Kupp has ascended and now is king of...

     

    It is not a fluke either or scheme because he broke FCS WR records across the board, easily the top WR in that draft class especially since he is gonna be the best in the league for years to come.

    I just want to see the potential fully reached before anointing anyone. He’s on pace this year. Granted, I wouldn’t complain if Beane gave up a 1st for most of the guys we’ve mentioned.... Green aside due to avail-ability. I think OBJ could rebound, but I don’t see it in Cleveland with that coaching staff. Stick him on the Seahawks and he’d likely revert back to all-pro level.

    I think you’re right.  The offense was in such bad shape last year that massive F/A signings was the only way to bring it up to middle of the road.  
     

    I’m unhappy with the team’s history of ignoring offensive skill positions in the draft. In the past three years,  they’ve drafted one WR (ZayJones) and one RB before the sixth round.  In that same time, Pittsburgh, for example, with Antonio Brown already on the team, drafted three WRs:  Schuster (second), James Washington (third) and Deonte Jones (third).  

    I’m not upset by it. They decided to go D first and it payed off. I’ll also never rag on Line picks in the top three rounds. I’d rather have incompletions than an injured QB. That said, I think they’re going to start filling out the offense unless someone falls into their lap. Keep in mind that Pit has basically kept the same Oline together for years. They’ll have to restart the cycle soon just like GB has done.
