Well, you had an emergent Moose in 1999, plus a great tight end in Wesley Walls. In 2011, you had Steve Smith, Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey -- so not trash receiving corps. D.J. and Robby definitely trump Moose and Patrick Jeffers as a 1-2, though.

I wanted to give him more, but I see us running more than expected--Hubbard and CMC, with Tremble plowing the way---

I honestly don't think that will matter that much. We will run the ball, but with our receiving corps, Sam would have to suck pretty badly or miss a number of games (both of which is unfortunately possible) for us not to amass 4k passing yards. Given what TB did last year and this year we have a full off-season...hard to imagine not hitting that number. Again, provided he doesn't suck or miss several games or both.

Think about who he's throwing to. We have 3 1k receivers + Arnold + Tremble + Marshall. If everyone stays healthy, he's hitting over 4k.

Ok, but the 4k QBs last year in 15 were still largely the likes of Mahomes, Brady, Watson, Rodgers, Ryan, Allen.  Herbert is basically the odd ball. 

Dallas had crazy deep and good WRs last year.  But they had a washed up Andy Dalton at QB stepping into that O for the first time.  

For all the heat Teddy got and deserved by being a check down king.  He still IMO helped us overachieve on offense by knowing the system and having command of it.  Doubtful Darnold will have the O grasped like Teddy did as early.

I'd give 2011 the slight edge. 

89 and Olsen > DJ and Robbie. 

2011 then had Shockey, LaFell rounding it out.  Think that trumps Arnold and a rookie slightly.  Plus, 2011 had LEGATRON.  

but most importantly, the 2 QBs who pulled it off were better than Darnold.

That's fair. I think this year's receiving corps has the potential to be better, so I'll just say I'm optimistic. I also think Darnold has the potential to be better than Beuerlein. So I'm really optimistic. 😄

I'm thinking of the potential...it could be an insanely deep and talented receiving corps. If David Moore is WR4? Not that he's all-world, but considering what our past WR4's have been, he may look that way. And I honestly think Arnold could go for 500-700 yds. Someone is gonna always be pretty open. Just depends on our OL giving Darnold time and then him not blowing it.

Shockey was pretty overrated here. Valid point about Legadoodoo, though. Legend.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
