Ok, who is he going to throw to?  Thomas?  Sullivan?  Tremble?  Shi Smith?  TMJ?  The cupbord is bare my friend.  Sometimes the sexy pick isn't the BEST pick.

Since the Steelers have locked down Moore after the second quarter, Darnold has had nobody to throw to.

Beef up OL and your fears are addressed.TE isnt the answer or the problem.

Circa 2021 OL?  Dude, this is the best OL we've had in yeeaaarrrs. Not exactly sure about needing to beef it up more.  Our TE room is down right atrocious, so yes, it is a problem.  Getting a stud TE isn't the answer, but it's a crucial position that's sorely needs addressing.

Would have liked better RT play this year, let's hope motown is healthy and back to form next year. 

Our TE play is feeble. But 1st round TE. Oof I'm a Pitts fan and even he wasn't worth a 1st so far. Yeah terrible situation and all but man who's out there that's that big a matchup threat at TE this year? We must upgrade the spot, but I don't really think 1st is the value spot.

Now grab the best WR, I'd listen. Moore, TMJ and one of Addison/Johnston/Hyatt as the starting 3. That's baller. Johnston to me is the biggest Q as he looks to be able to do it all outside guy like Julio Jones but the production dones match the freak athlete he is. Hyatt is a burner of a #1/2 but raw as hell compared to the other 2 with 1 year of production. Addison is smooth #1 with big time production as a frosh and following 2 years but not the big outside guy. 

I'm in on minshew or Sam whomever wants a mid/low $ for backup or 30th starter level between them.  They are not the same guys at all, but build around the one you sign. Now if Richardson is somehow in play in the draft, all bets off in the 1st and go big.

Don't forget Mims in the second or third round.

I like Mims a lot too. If you flip and go WR 2nd or 3rd he is another I'm high on. Don't think he has size, speed, length to make it into that top group in the mid 1st. He's been nothing but productive for what 3 years now?

Yep. He's produced all three years. Mim's is on the smaller size, 5'11" 185lbs or so, and not super fast. That said, production trumps measurables in my mind.

I think Mims is probably a 3rd rounder. He's a slot only type and those guys pretty much max out I'm the 2nd and that's for a top tier slot guy. It's why I don't understand the possible 1st round talk for Josh Downs. I think he's a fantastic NFL slot prospect but I think he's likely a mid to late 2nd rounder because he's slot only.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
