This team is in dire need of some offensive weapons.  Our TE's can't block, and they can't get open and if they do, they don't catch the ball.  We have one receiver we can count on to catch the ball consistently. 

Pittsburgh played man to man most of the game and we have NO one other than Moore step up.  Marshall is sporadic, Smith is hit or miss, Shenault a RB playing WR, he can barely catch a cold.  

I understand that we need a QB but, if we don't get the one we want we need to address our need for offensive weapons.  The last thing we need to do is reach for a QB when there is a stud TE or WR sitting there at our pick.

On the contrary, I think once we have a new QB and OC/HC we’ll see our current weapons are plenty. We could use a decent TE, but DJ is a stud, Marshall is turning into a stud before our very eyes these past few games but he’s still very young. Shenault is great with the ball in his hands but we never give him anything except those gd screens every other drive. If we just run him on some crossing routes and quick hitters I think he would be deadly in that role. I know he got a pass thrown his way today but I don’t recall it being a bad play on his part, can’t remember if it was a bad throw or what. Shi is a disappointment so far but he’s also young. 
 

Tldr: plenty of teams do more with much less. It’s scheme, play calling and QB.

Other than Moore none of these guys can get open.  Pittsburgh went man to man.  Any receiver worth his salt should be able to beat one on one. I give you Marshall is young and improving but we need a lights out WR.  

I watched part of the Miami game on Saturday.  Did you see Waddle's TD.  Once he caught the ball it was game over.  He went into overdrive and left all the DBs in the dust.  It had me laughing because he made the CBs look like linemen and just walked away from them.  We need someone like that.

I love DJ Moore.  But IMO, he's a #2 WR.  If you get him a WR like Q. Johnson he becomes a terror to defenses.  Without a guy like him.  DJ gets his numbers but not nearly what it could be. 

OC more than QB.  I love the ground and pound football, when it works, but we must have an offensive mind that can counter a defense that we played today.  If you take away our running game and try to one on one us, you'll pay dearly.

Marshall was wide open for a tuddy Sam under threw it. But we do need to upgrade RB TE and Shi. But biggest issue is no one is being schemed open. I’m starting to really want Stroud he has them sideline throws on a string 

Currently at #8 Stroud is probably 99.5% out of the equation.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
