So...... a #1 WR who has had only 1 healthy/good season in his career (4 years ago), a RB who has had one good year and we badly overpaid based on the rest of the RB contract market this year, a league average (at best) TE that we're also overpaying, and an admittedly solid vet presence as a slot WR.

And that's before even getting to us taking the wrong QB

But sure, let's all get excited over this very average at best set of skill position players.

Literally our OL and Defense are better units than that set of skill position players.

Sorry, but just calling it like I see it.

Also for what it's worth, I don't hate most of the moves we made this offseason, I thought many were great.

But Miles, Chark, and Hurst were the 3 moves I hated the most, and nothing to do with the players specifically, but the whole picture.  I'd have been fine with both Miles and Hurst if the contracts were cheaper and more in line with what their market value should have been with the rest of this year's FA class.  I also don't hate Chark or even his number in a vacuum, it's that I despise going into the season with him as the #1 WR for a rookie QB, would be totally different if he was the #2.

I like Chark but he's been battling the injury bug as of late and signed a one year deal. I want another promising rookie WR. And hopefully by the midway point of the season we're talking about how nice of a weapon Terrace Marshall JR is.

Chark at full strength is an absolute hand full with his speed and length.  High hopes for him this year cuz a Pro Bowl season is not at all out of the question

If he stays healthy is a nice combo. Chark has the speed to be the deep threat, Thielen is the possession slot WR with great hands, and Marshall is the big body large catch radius for the jump balls.

And Byrd is probably the fastest player on the team and Shenault was awesome last year.

Yeah, Thielen is about as clutch as you can get in 3rd down and redzone.  He won’t be a top fantasy guy like he once was but he knows how to make bigtime catches when things get tight.  Love that sign

I think a late rounder is where we most likely target it. I don’t actually expect us to go WR at 2 or 3 unless we really like drops. But there’s a few pretty intriguing options in the later rounds I’ve been looking into that could be pretty exciting

I keep forgetting about Shenault! He will be hawking underneath daring someone to leave him one on one. This offense could be fun to watch!

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
