Davonte Smith

I know we have many other pressing needs but how do you pass on a talent like this.  

You add him with Moore and our WR Corp is amazingly potent.

I would hate to see him go to Atlanta, TB or New Orleans

No WR corps is potent without an effective QB to throw them the ball.

No QB is effective lying on his back because his Oline sucks.

This is why more pressing needs should be given priority.

QB more pressing than Oline which is more pressing than making an already good WR corps even better.

Furthermore I would fill additional needs on the defensive side of the ball if the talent level was comparable.

Good WR's are a dime a dozen in the NFL. Most of our other needs not so much.

Davonte is great, but there are bigger needs, and there are WR later in the draft.

Now, if Carolina wants to trade up for a QB, Davonte might just be the key. The firepower around Tua is horrible, Miami needs weapons. Tua and Davonte played together at Alabama, he is a perfect type receiver for Tua's strengths. Miami may be willing to trade down and draft Davonte

I'm with you, Dave!  Those giving you poo don't have brass balls! I think he'll be gone though. We'll get a better picture after today's games!

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
