No prospect screams "WR1" to me after cursory glance

You were half way right.. right idea wrong player..

Give me a guy who has actually produced in the league this time..

Moncreif is like Sheppard was last year.. He might be good or he might be what he has been for Indy.. 

Give me a guy this time who actually put up numbers.. 

Moncrief was good when Luck was health. 4.4 40yd 6ft2.

We need to draft the best Safety possible, sign a veteran corner (kyle fuller), and go after two capable receivers and not fuging Moncrief. He did nothing without Luck.

:thinking: He did better with Old Bald Man Hassle than Luck. Screenshot_20180112-233728.thumb.jpg.afc0f6ebc71c0936bb0e00a662c32b2a.jpg

In 27 games started, he has 19 TD (2014-2017).

Colts were a dumpster fire for the last 3 years.

Huh? Cooks performed better statistically his last two seasons in NO than he did in NE this year. Back-to-back 1100+ yards/8+ TD seasons.

You are right. Oops 

well the bigger point is New England wanted a good receiver and got a young high motor smart player instead of trying to draft one.

any out there like that for the Panthers?

Yeah, I think I would too. The suspensions give me pause but he sounds like he's learned his lesson. He'd be so nasty on this offense

You do not trade a first round pick for a habitual offender of the drug policies of the NFL.  

I would love to see Gordon on this team but there is no way in hell I would trade our 1st for him.  That is a Cleveland Brown move.

One positive test and he is banned Lifetime.

Come on!!!

Jarvis Landry 

Allen Robinson  

Are players who actually have produced with lesser QB in this league..

We need a sure thing at this point.. No matter what stats you put together.. Consistently he hasn't produced like a sure fire number 1 wr.. At this point he is a ? .. Whether he is anything more than a #3 WR..

The 2018 wide receiver class has some prospects,  don't get me wrong,  but from what I've seen thus far,  only Calvin Ridley is a first rounder.  He looks to be the most polished route runner with decent speed.  

I know some people have been saying Christian Kirk would be a nice addition,  and he might,  but he's a speed merchant first and foremost. Not saying that he can't master the whole route tree, but open space is where he will probably shine the brightest.  

It's early still,  and I haven't looked at any small school prospects,  but I'm thinking that nabbing one of the guys in FA is almost mandatory (and I could almost care less who it is, after looking at the draft class). 

If I were being honest,  at this point the guy that most excites me is Parrish Campbell. The thing is though, he is another hybrid that didn't play WR exclusively.  

This class is suspect in my opinion. I see second and third round material at best who could of course develop into more, but I don't see day-one starters (or draftees except maybe for Ridley). 

I would agree. A lot of #2 and #3 WR this year.

Landry provides a sure, consistent threat in the slot,  but A slot guy wouldn't  necessarily be the best use of resources (particularly an expensive one).  Moreover,  I wouldn't  say that Robinson has been any more of a "sure thing" than any of them.  Injuries have taken their toll,  but he's inexplicably disappeared sometimes. Not saying that this is a constant problem,  but Marquise Lee may end up the better value if both can consistently stay on the field.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
