That's bullshit though. Cam's interior line was inflated by Cam's ability to take a defender away and extend plays. He had a lame duck Deangelo and Stewart who was at the end of his prime. He had GOAT Steve Smith yes for 3 years. Olsen was a stud but was a crutch because we didn't have a good WR group. Our wideouts were routinely bottom of the league in separation rate. CMC was great but was too little too late. It was a moot point once TJ Watt destroyed Cam's shoulder. Cam never had the depth of offense and WR's this group has. Cam would have taken last year's team to 12 wins easy.

Coker's a god damn stud and the best WR on the team. We don't need a 1st round WR.

I trust the staff if they think BPA boosts the team more than an OT who will be sitting for year anyway. Also you guys should have more faith in the coaching. This line has battled a ton of adversity and still looked competent. Who's to say we don't just take an OT in the 2nd or 3rd round and we get the same result as if we took one in the first? The difference being we got an impact player in the first round.

I wouldn’t hate it if he’s the BPA. But I’m also not ready to give up on our other TEs. Sanders has starter potential that was sideline by injury. Tremble and Evans aren’t bad options either. The floor of that position group is the best it’s been in a long time. I also agree with the other comments that we need to get some youth next to Derrick Brown.

Our boy's cooking.

I think that's the dark horse pick. Start planning for the future of the position if we can't keep Mike Jackson, or someone gets hurt. I'd like to take a CB that has good return ability though so we can get them on the field.

I think they’ll take a TE, FS, or maybe a DT to get some youth next to Derrick Brown. Really id like to see them take the BPA but also one who could immediately impact the team. Is there an electric CB/ Returner this year ? Can’t imagine Mike Jackson will be in the teams long term plans after this year.

Great signing. This is going to buy us time and give us a lot of options.

I don't think our TE group is bad at all but to get a beast in there would definitely be a boost. Wonder if Njoku is a good blocker? Might be a factor considering LT is up in the air.

I can't imagine this is a real move unless they are trading XL.

I wish Cam had asked Smitty if he was on the roster in 15, do we win the SB? I imagine we would. Smith would make Talib his bitch and the NFL would have given us leeway with the officiating having a legacy vet like Smith on the team vs the Manning retirement narrative.

No absolutely not. This was essentially a 10-7 team. Refs rigged the last Tampa and Saints game.

Bryce makes adjustments at the line though. Our offense would be playing better than them right now.

OP is partially right though. How do you not make multiple deep playoffs runs with arguably the best MLB of all time and one of the most unique and dominant QBs of his time? To me the answer is Ron Rivera. He simply wasn't good enough and didn't make the right moves with Cam until it was too late. Efforts were made in the draft to "try" to address our needs, but a lot of those picks flopped. And the FO was not nearly aggressive enough in replacing Jordan Gross, and they were far too complacent with Olsen as our best pass catcher until we got DJ Moore.

Larry getting in before Steve is bullshit
