I think fans are totally overlooking the chance we could go WR at some point in the draft. 

Fans tend to think in current year terms, but both Moore and Anderson are in the last year of their contracts.  Even if they extend Moore you have a huge hole across from him.  

Also people need to remember that WR1, WR2, and WR3 are all basically starters.  Good teams, the type you end up facing in the playoffs, can often take away your first option.

I don't mind a WR early, I think it is a high value position, but for various reason there seems to be some really good value in the 2nd and 3rd with receivers lately, and this years class is deep again.

You see, the problem with this Huddle thing is we read stuff that was influenced by other stuff and we, collectively, usually dwindle a complex process down to 2 or 3 options when there are dozens.  We focus on what we THINK we need and what we want to hear...If you agree with someone, they are right--if you disagree, they are stupid. 

So we lose focus and fail to think divergently--we are trained to solve problems convergently.  So instead of considering all of the possible scenarios and strategies, we try to use logic and a process of elimination based on subjective rationale to narrow the scope from an examination of the options to a narrowing of choices.

So there's that.

Holy poo that was a lot to absorb at once but I agree with you're saying for sure.

Going a True Bpa at 8 would not surprise me one bit.  And a Bama WR wouldn’t shock me either.

 

I know a few People that have Waddle as high as #3 overall and WR1 in this draft.

people forget about him because he missed most the season due to injury and Smith went off when he went about.

 

remember.  Even with Jerry Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith.  Waddle still stood out and all honestly, whenever Bama needed a big clutch play, Waddle was the one who made it.

 

 

just to jog people’s memory

Week 1

a. 8 catches for 134 2TDs

b. 8 catches for 89yds 0TDs

 

week 2

a. 5 catches 141 1TD

b. 6 catches 63 1TD

 

week 3

a.  6 catches 120 0TD

b. 13 catches 164 1TD

 

week 4

a. 6 catches 161 1TD

b. 11 catches 167 2TDs


 

a. Is Waddle 

b. Is Smith 

through the 1st 4 games prior to Waddle’s injury.

Most good teams are draft receivers every year or 2. Can't sit back and ignore talent. 

Gotta build the te, and that doesn't happen by skipping over talent.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
