Not to be a Debbie Downer but there’s some truth. Dalton, Hurst and Thielin and even Jamal Williams don’t make us close to a scary offense. None of them can be the guy who can still do a lot when the D focuses on them. No matter which FA WRs we sign, there’s no one who can go against the #1 CB or be the doubled guy and perform well. DJ wasn’t elite but no FA is close to him.

You might be right, no one of them can be but the D can't focus on all of them and they are serviceable, proven and a huge commodity for a QB, especially a rookie one

I figured this three year deal is because he'd be a good #2 and they wanted to backload some salary.  I think we grab another TE in the draft depending on what we do at WR today/tomorrow.

We could get a monster TE in the second round, a killer, but we've got to do something about #1 WR. Like 100% have to make a move in a trade or sign someone.

They put us in position to at least be solid, which is a major step up from previous years.

At the very least, it brings us to a good foundation from which we can build a potential big winner.

wouldn't hurt my feelings if we picked up another TE like Austin Hooper.

Did you type this during the 90 seconds you have to wait before the fries are ready?  Just kidding.  I have been able to work all week from home, so the NFL network is on in my home office and I am spending about 30 minutes on work every three hours.  This is so addictive.

Hell, I'd love to have him.  Don't that's exactly how the cap works though.

You don't see all these teams creating cap space in FA?

I agree, and we may not get a really good WR there--I think we are going to sign a WR or two today/tomorrow.

Ya know - last time we picked up a TE in his 5th year who was drafted in the 1st round and had similar productivity he ended up with back to back to back 1000yd seasons......interesting
