Why not both?

I like Thielen as he'd be a good slot safety valve for a rookie and would be a great vet presence in the WR room to teach these guys how to be pros, particularly TMJ and whichever WR we draft in the 2nd.

But I just don't see the need for Chark, he's similar to TMJ and very injury prone, just not someone I'd like to see us target as I don't think he brings enough value to us right now.

Thielen slot possession guy, TMJ outside clasher and Chark deep threat they would all have their roles

If we trying to sign both why not just go after a true #1 like Hopkins?

 

Then we really in business.

I’m sure I’m in the minority but Hopkins scares me more than Chark due to age and injury history alone. I’m not sure he would want to come here at this stage of his career and a rookie QB but that’s just my speculation.

I'm a BIG fan of Thielen.  I think tales of his lost step are overstated. 

Yes, he's not his 26 year old self, but the guy still maintained his WR2 status in a year where Osbourn was supposed to start taking a big increased load and JJ's targets continue to go up as a league wide superstar. I would love to see him somehow be that leader vet receiver that supports and mentors up an entire group under him.  He could set up a great legacy move for him if he is the leader for a young offense like the one we're putting together.  Get him for his late career for a few years, he can sign/retire a Vike down the road.  

Sure hands for a guy that can get open quick is a perfect vet.  

Chark is a good upside gamble because when he does play, he's a solid X receiver.  TMJ can be flanker.  I'm unsure if Chark signs here though, but would be optimistic about it if it happens.  

Them combined would open things up not just positionally, but in receiver type.  Could take anyone from Mingo to Scott to Downs with that type of group.

    • I don't follow the NBA but I think that kid has a lot of upside. Really good athlete for his size. 
    • I truly don't see how they could be any worse than last season. Having a rookie head coach isn't always great but he seems to care much more than Frank ever did and appears to actually put forth effort while also having some sort of desire to improve so that in itself should help them exceed expectations.
    • I literally said in my other post that we still deserve criticism, so what are you talking about?  Do you even know what my initial post was about?  Never once did I say it was okay to draft a bust because other teams draft busts. Mods, feel free to put me in my place if I'm going too far.  But it needs to be said. Some of you need to start reading posts in full instead of making it about Bryce every single damn time.  Ultimately my point was that drafting QBs is hard, and if it wasn't the Panthers mistake, it would have been another teams.  Just like Trey Lance, just like Mac Jones, just like Blake Bortles, just like Blaine Gabbert,... I can go on and on.   Yes, Panthers screwed up (assuming Bryce doesn't improve).  Yes, we should be criticized.  But it happens.  The guy asked how it happens and I was just answering his question.  That teams miss on QBs every year, because getting a QB is hard and teams will take every opportunity they can to get one.  But I'm not about to sit and discuss this with someone who thinks Levis even had .001% chance of going ahead of Bryce.  That tells me all I need to know.  No reasonable person would even throw him in the discussion.
