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.

      Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By strato · Posted

      I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
