Adam Thielen, despite being 33, would help this team now, Offense and Allen right now. In 3 wide with Diggs and Davis as #3 and Thielen filling Beasley role we could focus on Defense.

I doubt they trade him. Young needs him for development.

 

The guy to get is Hopkins at WR. But it’s hard to imagine Beane sending a pick to get Hopkins when he could’ve just signed him for nothing.

I'd be more than content with Hopkins and a Defensive piece added before the deadline. 

 

-Hopkins, because I think he's one of the few WR's potentially available that Allen will feel obligated to look his way.  I also like his contract for next year.

 

-And we need something on Defense.  I'd prefer a DT over LB, but maybe (wishful thinking) they believe they can get Daquan Jones back later in the season. 

 

I can't imagine it would take more than a couple Day 3 picks we have stocked up to make these moves, unless the Defensive piece is something out of left field. 

 

YES!  Someone’s about to be a former Bill and someone’s about to be new Bill!!

Did he and Diggs get along in Minnesota?

I don't know, thought of that, but no reason to believe they didn't.

I'd be fine with that too. Sometimes the best way to deal with a defensive weakness is to prop up the offense. Trade for one of these guys, use more 3wides, insert Morris as blocking TE in 12 form and continue developing Kincaid. Oh and allow Josh to scramble and slide for an additional 2-3 key FDs every game.

And yet immediately in the very next offseason trade happened. 
 

I cannot tell you how many times teams think they are better than they are in season. Hold only to move immediately for a lesser deal after 

 

Ok, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with what I said though, does it? I simply stated that Beane mid-season trades tend to be for lower depth players.

Well I full expect to see even more Aaron Maybin-esque flopping on Thursday from our cheerleading hero Phillips..........stay tuned for the drama! :lol:

don't forget Chris Kelsey (oops) Shaq Lawson

 

** I like Shaq Lawson as a depth and role player. he can set an edge and has a place on a roster. i've always been a guy who likes niche players for roles on defense though no one embraces this. lawson has a place with playing time when we play certain teams (ravens, mobile qb's, etc) and in situational playing time but he's not a high rep starter.

Yeah because the entire Beane Tends is irrelevant as I just showed you he targets more than depth players

Shaq has fallen off this year too but he isn't a disaster like Phillips has been.

I really hope we get a DT that can stuff the middle and free up linebackers to make plays. Seems the biggest drop we have on this D is when Jones is out. We sucked with Star, sucked with Phillips.  We need a Jones clone. 

 

After that go WR and get Hopkins.  Maybe a vet CB. That's all we need for a run and to stay healthy.

I suspect you won’t, because he now has a “back issue.”  Probably from diving onto and sliding off of Stephenson on the game-clinching drive on Sunday.  Phillips must be the all-time NFL leader in flop-related injuries.
