So then, we’ve got a WR corps to build. What do y’all got?

In the draft, Tillman, AT Perry look like good outside WRs. Downs would be a solid get too.

In FA, we've been linked to Hardman and Campbell. Chark is out there, as well as Jourdan Rodrique mentioning Van Jefferson as a potential trade target. Van has ties to both Brown and WR coach Jefferson. 

I'd also bring in a TE like Moreau and draft the BPA TE at 39.

I'm not freaking out this year because I think the plan is clear now to let '23 be the "reset" year. New coaches, rookie QB and dead cap to fall off. Clean up the mistakes in '23 and walk into '24 with a clean sheet. 

No need plunking down cash on older vets like Nuke and OBJ at their respective ages. 

Hardman is 24 years old.....Campbell is 25.....Jefferson is 26. 

Focus on 2024. We will have a boatload of cash available to be key players in FA. Draft smart this year and don't weigh ourselves down.

Yeah I just know he was battling injuries all season.

My ideal scenario would be a slight trade down R2 to like 42-50.  

Gives us the capital to land a Hyatt/Downs + LaPorta/Kraft combo.  Think something along those lines would be awesome for a young gun. 

Wouldn't take the idea of an EDGE in R2 out of the question with Felix and the Northwestern kid, but, man, could be good stuff.

Love Tyler Scott and Rashee Rice as well.

Hyatt is a good deep threat, but the funny thing is Tillman was WR1 for UT before the season started. He got injured and Hyatt was a welcomed surprise. I wonder where Tillman is projected…

Yeah Tillman is being kind of slept on.  Great size, physical, sneaky fast, hands catcher/ball fighter.  

I like the Michael Pittman comp that NFL.com has.  Was heavily hyped going into the season.  Could be a great pick in R4.

Odell, d hop nor any other older vet are going to want to come here to play with a rookie qb.

 unless they’re in fear of being out the league there’s not a vet I can see wanting to play here, maybe we can grab cooks from the Texans? But I’m not sure if they’re quarrel was because of playing time or that they sucked, maybe both.

young fa WRs the staff think they can develop and trust this scouting staff can nail a wr pick, i like a choice of slayton, mecole or meyers if it’s not too pricey

It’s a bad FA group, okay draft. More than a few available for trade. 

What are y’all’s idea to build a group for Young/Stroud?

Hyatt, Josh Downs, Rashee Rice, Tyler Scott, Xavier Tillman, Andre Iosivas will some names to know.

Maybe Nuke becomes a target?

Who else could be had?

Ideas plz

 

 

Take the best WR or TE at 39, Chark in FA. Aside from that I'm guessing our trade value for Corral just dropped even more which sucks

    • Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"
    • Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.
    • And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
