We drafted a QB who is supposed to be a "super processor" and be able to spread the ball around. We don't need this mythical beast of a Huddle approved "#1 WR". We just need competent, legit NFL WRs.

What we need is whoever scouted the Steelers WRs over the years to throw us a bone

I said this even when the trade was made.

 

Never made sense to trade your #1 WR when you trading for a rookie QB.

 

Im pretty sure we could have got a deal done with Burns if they pushed for it. I probably would have kept Moore and try to get the #3 pick we still would have ended up with AR or Stroud.

Damn you’d rather trade Burns for a lower pick than lose DJ? He would definitely improve this group but he’s not an elite guy at his position like Burns and Brown. And we knew they were poised for a breakout in the 3-4.

We have one proven healthy one in Thielen. We have another injured one that we're hoping can suit up for a few games. We have two others were hoping will develop in TMJ and Mingo. Then we have a gadget guy in Shenault. No, the receiver room isn't good and that's exactly why I was so baffled that we traded our best WR. I would've seen if I could've gotten the Bears to bite on Burns, #9, and maybe a 2nd instead of an additional 1st.

Doesn't help that we traded McCaffrey too.

WR who will potentially hit the FA Market in 2024:

  • Mike Evans
  • Tyler Boyd
  • Curtis Samuel
  • Cedrick Wilson
  • OBJ
  • (Jesus Christ it's) Kendrick Bourne
  • Jamal Agnew
  • Marquise Brown
  • Calvin Ridley
  • Jakeem Grant
  • Tee Higgins
  • Michael Pittman Jr.
  • Chase Claypool
  • Josh Reynolds
  • Tre'quan Smith
  • Van Jefferson
  • Parris Campbell
  • Devin Duvernay
  • Mecole Hardman
  • Gabe Davis
  • Darnell Mooney
  • KJ Osborn
  • Donovan Peoples-Jones
  • Nelson Agholor

Chark and Shenault are also FA's at the end of the year.

Of the above mentioned, Tee Higgins and Calvin Ridley are the only potential #1's but it's not guaranteed that either actually make it to FA. There are solid #2 option guys on there like Evans, Bourne, Boyd, Brown, Pittman, Davis, Peoples-Jones, OBJ and Osborn. The rest are #3+ options.

Samuel is still in the league?

Lemme guess... Commanders?

I’d continue to look in the draft for a true playmaker. 

I said elsewhere but a good part of Penix’s rise/hype in WAS has been due to Rome Odunze. Big fan of Rome, he’s an awesome talent. He’s like a faster Michael Pittman Jr. Vertical threat, hands catcher, tough, makes big plays. Is not complimentary, really the core of that Huskies offense. 

Troy Franklin in Oregon has been the other on my Saturday radar.  Game breaker, explosive talent. He’s kind of in the Aiyuk-esque realm and Aiyuk is definitely one of my fave receivers in todays NFL. 

And to that point—If we could somehow land Aiyuk, I’d be thrilled, but I doubt SF moves on. He may grow into their true #1 this year. He was a difference maker down the stretch last year.

There’s been a lot of talented WRs coming out late R1 and beyond..and we just can’t seem to pick the right ones.

Would love to change that—would be nice to at least hit with Mingo and get in position to add a rookie burner with a younger more reliable FA.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
