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.

    • For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled. 
    • This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
    • The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
