Absolutely love it. The kid has real talent. Blessing to get somebody like that at this stage in April. 

It’s straight up hypocritical. Just be real, the board didn’t fall the way you thought it would. Maybe he was frustrated they didn’t get a receiver too….

 

 

It's really not hypocritical. Not at all.

 

Saying you don't have a need at WR and then signing a WR isn't necessarily even contradictory.

 

You can feel that we don't have an absolute need, but that we could get better with the right deal. This is probably the most common situation a GM deals with.

 

You don't have a need but you're willing to get better in the right situation. Then the right deal comes along. That right deal might be picking a guy at the right value for the pick in the draft, or at the right value in an FA contract.

That's exactly right. Fans overrate how much extra production WRs get from elite QBs. Chase and Higgins were still elite when Jake Browning was their QB. The example I always use is Tyreek Hill got more production when he went from Mahomes to Tua. WR production is about a whole lot more than their QB, and most of it rests on the WR themselves.

 

I'm struggling to think of a recent example of a WR where the light suddenly clicked on after getting a better QB? It didn't happen with Kadarius Toney or Chase Claypool or Nelson Agholor, etc.

 

 

Diggs improved quite a lot in production when he came to Buffalo. Amari Cooper produced significantly better with Dak than he did in Oakland. Randy Moss was a ton better in NE than with the Raiders, though it did look to me like he was dogging it after a while in the Silver and Black. Welker was massively better when he got with Brady.

 

It happens. 

 

But yeah, you're right that you can't assume it will. Sometimes it happens and plenty of other times it doesn't.
