For me it’s not about being a playoff team it’s about doing everything we can week to week to help make Young feel more comfortable. 

Same which is why it’s important we make a trade to acquire a WR

I think it’s pretty unrealistic to think we’re going to be able to lure a top WR FA to this dog sh!t organization. Plus not many top WR’s hit the open market anymore

This team needs to stop throwing good money after bad. Midseason trade market is going to be filled with other teams' problems and unwanteds. There are no fanciful deals where a team is looking to unload a player that is up and coming for a 4th round pick! It's a buyer beware market, and here we come strolling into town like hayseed hicks with a little money burning a hole in our pocket.

We are not one piece away. We need starters and depth at every position.

I agree, but how many young WRs, assuming they are a WR1 or have WR1 potential, are really out there?

I don't know if they've talked to Detroit or Houston, but I like the thought of Jameson Williams and John Metchie with Young back together again.

That's why I think it's more just internal discussions about trying to go after someone as opposed to even the slightest beginning of trade talks with another team.

I'd LOVE to get Williams, I just don't see how we could get it done.  The only way would be Burns + Chark or TMJ for Williams and draft picks, but I still struggle to see them wanting to pay Burns and then have to do Hutchinson after next offseason too.

Metchie seems more doable seeing how Tank Dell has come on for them this year, but I don't think they're giving up on their 2nd round pick last year for like a 5th or 6th, which is really all I'd be comfortable giving up to get him, and he is far from "very notable" anyways, so doubt that's what is being referred to here.

Our best bet to get a #1 right now is Higgins, don't think there really is even another remotely legitimate option during the season.

Our next best chance would be hoping there is a Tyreek or AJ Brown type of scenario this offseason, where a team just doesn't want to give a new contract to an elite WR and they become available in a trade that way.

As much as they’d like to keep pass rusher Brian Burns long term, sources familiar with team owner David Tepper have told Yahoo Sports that the priority in the organization in the near-term is to use assets to help fortify the future of quarterback Bryce Young. What they’d like to do is acquire a nice young offensive piece to help Young (preferably a skill position player). That is going to come with cost. And that cost is listening to offers on Burns, who will carry a significant $11 million in salary cap load to any team that acquires him, as well as necessitating a contract extension.

Perhaps Diggs or Jefferson, maybe Smith

Jefferson isn't being traded, period.

Diggs would be a chernobyl level disaster.  While I absolutely love the player he is, the guy is constantly throwing fits because Josh Allen can't get him the ball enough to make him happy, do you really think Bryce is going to be able to do a better job?  And that's not to even mention that he hates losing, it's just a bad bad bad fit for us at this time, despite how good of a player he is.

Smith COULD be interesting, but it won't happen during the season.  

The Eagles are clearly legitimate SB contenders, they aren't trading Smith during this season.  But come the offseason, I could see a scenario where they trade him to get picks instead of giving him a monster contract extension seeing as they already have Brown on a big deal and will likely need a new one after next season as well.  

I doubt they move him, but he very well could fall into that same category as Higgins where a contending team just can't put THAT much money into WR contracts and needs to move him because of that.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
