who is DJ Chark ?

Just a 25 year old guy who has run a 4.3 and has size. Not like the midget group of WRs in this draft. LSU is WRU. So many nice receivers come out of there. Chark is another one. Some injury risk but with TMJ, DJ, Miles,  HH and Theilen we got all the pieces but one for the best offense we have fielded in years. 

[Verge]

Lots of good receivers and edge rushers at that 39 slot. I imagine we would go in either direction.

We'll see. "Winning" the off-season oftentimes doesn't translate to winning on the field.

I'm hopeful but I'm not crowning anybody just yet. It all ultimately comes down to how well this QB selection pans out. These guys have hitched their wagon to this pick with that trade.

you have to admit its refreshing to see the team at least try

 

they aren't trying to win the offseason, they are trying to win long term. I totally get pumping the breaks on getting hopes up, but i much rather see my team give it their best shot at getting a franchise QB and supporting said QB, than continuing to pussyfoot around the position, not making moves out of fear and staying mediocre.

I can. Thielen is a 33 year old short term stopgap. Chark is an oft-injured talented guy on a one year prove it deal. Hurst is knocking on the door of 30 and can easily be cut after two seasons.

These FA signings are about short-term bandaids. The draft is about long-term solutions.

I would imagine that the offensive skill positions are very much on the table at #39.

If Zay Flowers is there I am taking 30 seconds to make that pick

Please no more WR's.

 

Get a starter at #39

 

If we can get a DB or Edge Rusher that would be awesome.

Given that you can operate with four wide receivers and there is a strong chance we lost Thielen and Chark next year, it just makes sense to get a guy now. Especially with this class.

1 yr / 37 million fully guaranteed.

I think you got that backwards, it's actually 37 years for 1 million

Honestly, I think we're pretty well setup to just go BPA. Outside of double dipping at QB or taking a kicker or punter not much else would shock me at #39.

Yeah a couple injuries and we're rolling with Shenault and Shi Smith as starters. Obviously you want to go BPA, I think Zay would be if he falls that low

Na, we have two injured starters at OG, we need an OG more than OT.

We have Mays and McRay as depth.  Also, a good OG can be had with one of the 4th rd picks.

What if the BPA is a QB or LT? 

Okay.  You got me in a moment of enthusiasm.  BPA not QB or LT.

well, aint this been one fun offseason so far!

Waiting to see the money so far, but I assume his injury history could have allowed him to accept a 1 year, cheap, prove it deal. If so, it's no risk, all reward for us.
