Mark Stevie Johnson off your list

Read he was choosing between Pats and Chargers today, maybe with Allen and Johnson they won't go WR in the 1st now.

If we can grab Perriman at 25, I actually think we're good.

Ideally I'd like to see Cotchery cut and try and sign Crabtree on a "prove it" deal coming off a down year (partly due to his injury and partly due to Kaep) just to give our rookie some time to develop.

Mentioned this yesterday but we really missed Ginn last year, he made a lot of big grabs on 3rd down and was our deep threat. I'd also welcome Greg Jennings if it meant cutting Cotchery, Jennings could be that solid vet we were hoping Cotchery would be

Unless Crabtree is willing to accept a 1-year, $2-3m prove it deal, I think our #2 WR will be found in the draft.

 

I was gonna say the same thing.  Honestly, I wouldn't bank on us signing someone else..but if Crabtree is still hanging there on the open market in a week, might as well see if he takes a prove-it deal.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
