How we went from a talentless WR Corp (minus SS) to over abundance of talent in 2+ yrs is absolutely amazing.

 Obviously it is far too soon to tell but I wouldn't say there are locks outside of KB and Funchess.  I think Ginn is a near lock but not 100%. Ginn is on the 2nd year of a two year deal.  Byrd, Brown  and HIll are speedsters and I wouldn't put it past Gman to make a decision to keep someone other than Ginn.

Don't get me wrong I think Ginn was a key part of our offense but he isn't irreplaceable.. It is very possible that those preseason drops might make a difference this year..

 

He's also got that whole punt return thing going for him. That helps his chances.

If Hill can pull it together, we're going to have to make some tough decisions.   I would be on board with keeping 6, Benji, Funchess, Hill, Byrd and Ginn and hopefully Garrett can be retained on the practice squad.  I just don't think Philly is that good or brings much to the table, and neither does Bersin.  The Broncos showed the game plan to beat us, and what we need is more speed/players that can't be single covered.

Didn't Philly have a huge long pass play against the Broncos? The one where Talib literally had to try to rip his head off to stop him from scoring.

Brown might not be much of a return man but he is just as dangerous as Ginn.  I think he has better hands and runs better routes.   Furthermore, Brown is much younger.

Not a Ginn hater but I said last year I thought we didn't need Ginn back with Brown.  Fortunately for us we didn't have to choose because KB went down.  Look at it this way.  Ginn has peaked, Brown is only going to get better. 

Love the idea that we don't have 5 locks and 8 wannabes.  We have some serious competition and over the next couple of months the cream is going to rise to the top.   I will be happy with whoever they choose because honestly I don't think we lose with any combination.

Who would have thought by 2016 teams would be watching our roster to see who we are going to cut at the WR spot.

he was serving talib an ass whupping before he got injured.  among other much-bitched-about factors that was one of the differences in the game i think.

This is a good fix for my FB addiction as time slowly crawls toward training camp. Love the pics.

Hi, my name is Imminent Rogaine and I am a footballaholic; I watched a replay of week ten redzone on NFLN this weekend and have successfully completed 3 fantasy football mockdrafts as of may 25th.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
