Crabtree signs with Raiders

crabtree is decent, though he's coming off injury so it remains to be seen how he'll produce.

 

KB can be our number one this year (though he fits the archetype of a number two) but replacing cotchery is an absolute priority IMO. i still haven't stopped holding out hope for jennings... i think he'd be an awesome fit.

Crabtree would have easily been the second best WR on our roster. Easily

But long term, do you want to pay him 3 million a year? as our #2 WR long term?

Id rather take a guy in the draft who is much better for the same price if not cheaper. Rushing to fill the roster and over paying will not only crowd the rister and cap, but the financial commitment means were obligated to stick with that WR.

Either stick with them, over pay them when a better player comes in and they have a diminished role, or cut the player and have dead money.

fug that. That kind of poo will just hold us back longterm. I say build through the draft and dont be financially commited to mediocre players

Jennings is visiting the Saints, for the record.

Lived here my whole life. Never been car jacked.

I'm sure you're an expert though. Probably read about NO on the internetz and poo.

My wife's family lives there and I have been there more times then I want to remember. New Orleans sucks...dirty, crime ridden, and overcrowded. You grew up there, so you love it...good for you.

And by the way, I was there for three days over the Easter vacation and there was two car jackings in three days....and one that didn't quite work out for the lowlife gonads.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
