DJ Chark recently underwent ankle surgery?

Really depends on the type of surgery. Cleaning up a spur or some scar tissue is fairly minimal but can help a lot.

Obviously the team knew about this and was okay with it, but to me, this is just another sign of why this wasn't a smart signing for us to go into the season with him as our #1.

The guy is flat out injury prone, particularly his ankles, and the fact that he had yet another surgery this offseason, and COULD be ready for OTA's, just isn't exactly an inspiring update to hear.

We need to go get Hopkins, Sutton, Jeudy, or trade back into the First round to get a #1 WR, particularly JSN if we take Stroud.

Can't believe I agree with you but you're right. A injury prone WR already having surgery on his bad ankles is not a good sign. We still need another impact WR.

 

I would trade a 2nd for Jeudy or 3rd for Sutton. I like Hopkins as well but we haven't been linked to him all offseason.

Three words…1 year deal

The WR1 spot is up for grabs. I'd say that it's not going to be handed to anyone, and it's my expectation that TMJ will be the lead dog (if we even have a prototypical one).

I would hate trading a second for Jeudy. He has largely underwhelmed for all the hype and opportunity that he has had.

I feel like the TMJ hype is just that. He's shown nothing to make me think he has #1 WR potential.

 

All I hear is he's 6'3 fast and athletic.

 

What about his route running? His hands? Can he beat the jam and create space?

 

You know the things that actual make you a #1 WR...

Damn near had a 1000 yard receiving with Russell Wilson last season. Anybody who watched the Broncos last year knows how bad Russ played the QB position. Jeudy did the best he could given that situation. He didn't make it to Alabama just being a guy. He can ball if you give him a good QB.

They aren’t trading Jeudy.  The guy is on the cusp of breaking out.

WRs typically take a few seasons to be really good.  Steve Smith was a return guy for us for a few seasons until he absolutely exploded.

KB had such a weird career. I remember thinking we finally had our #1 WR for Cam his rookie season and dude just fell downhill after that.smh

Mismanagement and poor QB play. TMJ flashed when given the opportunity and the targets.  You can't say "But DJ!" Because he was either getting a good majority of targets or the pass game was absolutely abysmal.  Yet, was 2nd in the team in receiving and always seemed to be making a big catch.

People don't really seem to put target share into account when looking at basic stats for some reason. Chark and TMJ would been 1k WR's last year with 100 targets. Chark obviously had an injury but no reason to think TMJ wouldn't have hit that number if Robbie didn't start out as the #2

Yeah he had 6 more targets and receptions than the 3rd leading receiver and double the amount of yards.  I think it's fair to give him a shot at being the guy.
