Before the draft, we address free agency

I'll be interested on how we play TE/WR.

I think we probably become a player for one of these WR trades. Allen Robinson from the Rams for example knows Brown well and can be had relatively cheap with the Rams eating a large chunk of his deal. Would be a good outside vet presence. Hopkins and Sutton and i'm sure a few more will have their tires kicked.

I think the TE FA class probably gets its value depressed by the rookie draft which could be a boon for us, but also would we prefer to just draft that guy at 39? Would be nice to get Shultz on a more friendly deal if people decide to wait for the rookie draft before committing. He may just wait though

My one worry is overspending on this free agent WR class. I think Paris Campbell probably is a pretty clear fit knowing Reich's offense and how much he has expressed his love for Frank and he feels like he'll be cheap. I would love to make a run for Jakobi Meyers but he probably gets overpaid due to the quality of this class.

Overall I think we could easily fit in a nice Vet receiver, a TE, some depth before the draft to make this an appealing year one spot for CJ or Bryce. Glad we know we need to do this before FA Starts.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
