seems like McBeane thinks getting younger and deeper is what’s gonna put us over the top.

Claypool, Hamler, Isabella, Cephus, Shorter, Shavers…we probably have the most talented WR room 5 through 10 on the depth chart, whatever that’s worth.

We’re cornering the market on failed speedy 2nd round WR’s

The only eyebrow raising thing here is the firing of the son-in-law.

maybe we carry an extra LB this year with the new kickoffs rules.

Guy has had injury after injury since he got drafted and Broncos have been one of the worst run franchises the last couple years, but not sure why Indy let him go if he’s some kind of hidden gem that just needed to get healthy.

How do you fire your daughters husband? If it’s not working out, you’d think they would’ve come to some sort of agreement.

Make fun of him all you want but his 2022 season is better than any Bills WR currently on roster. I don’t think his skill set is what we need to fill out out WR room though. We need an OBJ, MVS, or Chark deep threat type.

We need another vet who was a legit 1 or 2 to be a reliable option for Josh. They don’t have to hold up the whole season, but you can’t rely on Shakir, Samuel, and a rookie Coleman to all step up their game not to mention injuries. Hollins is another Sherfield. If he’s one of your top 3 WR’s for any reason, we are screwed. See Sherfield in KC playoff game. I’m for bringing in OBJ to round out the WR room.

There’s an adjustment period for any rookie. Expecting Coleman to be one of your top 2-3 WR’s early in the season risks throwing the season away. OBJ has been a good soldier in LA and Baltimore and can carry a heavier load early in the season while Coleman gets acclimated.

OBJ, Samuel, Shakir, Coleman with Kincaid and Knox would be upper tier. There’s no true #1 WR but Houston, Baltimore, and Green Bay did fine without one.

OBJ makes sense. His skill set would round out the WR room. Deep threat that can still soften up the defense. Potentially 5 guys with 600+ receiving yards next season plus 2 RB’s who are a threat out of backfield. 1 year $7m with some incentives.

new vibes in the locker room. seems like it was much needed.

Yes he might’ve gamed it at the end to get to 20+ mph, but Coleman was at 19mph by the first hash mark, compared to Franklin’s 17mph and McConkey’s 18mph.

This is like the topic asking how many passes you’d complete in an NFL game. The people who do this for a living have access to medical information, college coaches, college teammates, get to interview and work out the prospects, and have gone through this cycle 10, 20 or even 30 years. You can’t compare that type of knowledge and access to information to some guy who watches lots of game tape.

Guess the vegas oddsmakers are idiots like McBeane too.

In the last 6 weeks, we have gotten significantly younger and/or cheaper at 18 positions on the 53 man roster... Poyer, Hyde, Sirhan, Dane, Matekevich, Dodson, Floyd, Phillips, Shaq, Settle, Poona, Morse, Bates, Diggs, Gabe, Harty, Sherfield, Murray. Plus we have an extra 2nd rounder, an extra 4th and potentially another extra 4th and 5th next year. $54m in dead cap and still replacing 18 guys when the only significant question mark on the roster now is WR 1 is GM of the year type stuff.

This was probably Beane’s most disciplined draft even though it sounds like he was trying to move up for Bishop. The roster needed to get younger and cheaper. He really did a nice job there to the point where despite what he’s saying I could see Beane going after an Aiyuk type WR post June 1.

Walking away with 7 of Jeremiah’s top 117 players when we started with 2 top 100 picks just might be Beane’s best work as a GM short of landing Josh. https://www.nfl.com/news/best-prospects-available-in-the-2024-nfl-draft

We got 7 of Dan Jeremiah’s top 117 prospects. I get it that people are still butt-hurt about losing Diggs and Beane didn’t take the WR they wanted, but this was a really nice draft and we have a lot of draft capital in 2025.

If we still had diggs or trade for a Metcalf/Aiyuk after June 1, the outlook looks totally different. The only question mark would be Von giving us what Floyd did. Coleman/samuel are upgrades over Gabe and Harty/Sherfield. Van Pran will be better than Morse sooner than later. Bishop/KC safety are upgrades over over 33 year old Poyer and Hyde. Got younger at RB and DT.

If nothing else, Beane got a giant pair of brass ones.

I’ll tell you after today.

I actually think that trade was to buy time to either trade for a vet WR or trade back again from 33. Now that the 49ers got who they wanted, they might be ready to move Aiyuk or deebo.

Trade back with washington for a 3rd. They need a tackle. Guyton only one left. trade back 8 spots and still get a good WR.
