I truly like the kid, but letting Samuel go into FA...

Rhule had a clear plan about our receiver group and before hindsight/the season starts. That group is special.

and retaining Moton. Showed we are in a different era, there's going be some up's and downs but at the time I didn't see, or believe our WRs would look stronger after losing Samuel especially how he played for us last year.

Couldn't agree more. I love Samuel and wish him a ton of success in Washington. But letting him go was the right call. And it's no contest. Plus having the foresight to get a player like Marshall in the draft allows us to have leverage with Robby next season instead of cornering ourselves when his contract is up (if Marshall performs). It feels like there's actually a plan with these moves and many aren't being looked at in a funnel, but more a bigger picture / longer term.

Moves like that make you smile. We should never pick a #3 WR when we have questions about retaining someone like Moton. Can you imagine our line right now without him?

The move by Hurndog still makes you cringe at how typical it was for him to let someone like Bradberry walk and sign Shaq to a huge deal. We could have tagged and traded and the least.

We have a long history of making the wrong decision when having to decide between two players.

That's why I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. Fitterer too. 

Is BC RT, LT, guard?    Not sure, but Rhule has a clear plan.

Why did we bring in a bunch of often injured vets at CB, LT, LG, LB?   Not sure, but Rhule has a clear plan.

Sam Darnold?!?!    Not sure, but Rhule has a clear plan.

Try to forget about what happened to Josh Norman then... 😬

Same.  As much as I enjoyed Samuel’s time here, he was often injured and didn’t really excel until that last year with us.  He’s been hurt already for WFT as well.  This WR group looks very good.  It was a rough day at practice, but we know what DJ and Robby can do, and TMJ has looked great so far in camp (aside from drops today).  Shi Smith has flashed.  David Moore is a guy who can make a play if his number is called.  Really exciting times.  Can’t fix every position in one offseason.

      Draft Taylen Green

      Spoiler alert - he has none of those. Picture a less athletic Anthony Richardson with a weaker arm - that is what he is.

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      Funny enough, those good games Rico had were when Canales finally put BC at RG. Once BC got hurt, our run game turned to crap again (outside of the GB outlier game)

      When I say elite, I am talking Bowers and Tony Gonzalez type can't miss prospects. The ones that are the complete package (good athleticism, good blocking, knows how to position body for contested catches, able to run a complete route tree). I also wasn't big on Warren last year (although he at least had the college production) and wasn't sure on Loveland (didn't do enough research on him but was impressed with his route running). I just think TE is a luxury pick for us with how many positions we have that are void of talent. Now, if Sadiq is the best player (by a good margin) our front office thinks is available at 19, then I understand taking him. My worries with Sadiq is if he has to be used like a Pitts, Engram, etc. type TE where they get lined up in the slot because they can't block LBs or Dlinemen. And if that is what happens, it's pretty much like drafting an athletic tall receiver that isn't capable of running a complete route tree. And for how many freaks do we have... you do realize we drafted bum ass XL because we thought he was an athletic freak. Turns out that athleticism doesn't mean crap when you are dumb as rocks, can't run routes, and can't catch the ball...  I feel like we have been drafting guys that are displaying elite athleticism at the combine over college production (and I think that has shown why a lot of our drafts prior to last year have sucked)
