I don’t think it’s fair to write off TMJ yet. I was hoping for more at this point but he did have some flashes last year and was spent his first year under….that coaching staff who seemed determined to play him as little as possible. Much less bullish on him now but I think he can still be a piece and contribute

Contribute, sure. Many of us thought he would be WR1 by now. In three years Mingo needs to be that

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm really excited about our Receiver room this year. May not have a true #1 like years past but are much more balanced and not as top heavy. Instead of doubling Moore, and literally only Moore, we have solid guys at X, Y, and Z who can all get open in one way or another, as well as Hurst who can also get open sometimes. 

Super excited.

On paper this is the deepest quality of receiving targets we've had in a while. I think Hayden Hurst is an upgrade from Ian Thomas. You don't have to account for Ian as a receiver and it was embarrassing running TEs screen for him.

I'm still optimistic about Terrace Marshall Jr. He flashed once Rhule was fired and no longer buried behind Shi Smith, whole Rhule favored. 

I'm thinking with Mingo, Theilen, Chark, Marshall, Miles Sanders, and Hurst - Bryce has options for short, intermediate, and deep routes which will keep defenses on its toes.

I think I see where this is heading...

They're serious about the point guard thing. Chark is probably the only guy that will attempt a straight up deep go route. I guess TMJ can as well but just haven't seen enough, even when he was getting open he was coming back to late under thrown balls instead of getting hit in stride.

Steve Smith Sr. had stayed a bit distant from the franchise following what was a messy, bloody and gut-wrenching divorce back in 2014. But, 89 has iced up those wounds in recent years—particularly around the time Tepper took over the team

“My comp for Jonathan Mingo is Eric Moulds,” Smith Sr. said on NFL Network this past weekend. “Mingo’s superpower is his strength. It’s not his strength to where he’s trying to play outside of himself. He knows exactly who he is. And he plays big boy ball.”

I think by year 3, Mingo and TMJ will be 1 and 2 on the outside and a serious threat that will scare the rest of the South.

I was bitching about this pick on an Ole Miss board and someone reminded me that Ole Miss has a long record of wrs putting up pedestrian numbers in college and then blowing up in the NFL (Laquon Treadwell being the exception, but his injury was gruesome).

I don't think it hurts to give BY a young receiver he can grow with. Him and maybe Marshall will be the only ones here in 3 years.
