What is the plan at wr?

[Bear Hands]

Troy Franklin and/or Rome Odunze are the guys I want to target. They’re going to translate and fit the bill for what we need.

Overpay in FA this year (we have the money to do it), and draft one with the 33rd pick. My dream is DK and Troy Franklin. Also overpay for the best guards we can get to come here.

Unless they run great 5 yard routes, they won't get the ball anyway

[96Bravo]

I guess we got Jordan Matthew's. But sounds like another guy who's best days are behind him.

Tee Higgins + a WR in the 2nd.

Yes on Higgins, no on another in the 2nd

If we get Higgins, with Thielen and Mingo already on board, we have too many holes to fill with long term solutions, particularly on defense, and that's where the 2nd rounder needs to be spent.

There's always decent cheap WR options out there in FA, particularly when we'd really only be looking for our #4.

Someone like Mecole Hardman this last offseason signing for $4 million would be exactly what we'd need, especially if the Top 3 was Higgins, Thielen, Mingo, as we could then very much use a shiftier speed WR to compliment them.  Those are also the type of WRs you can try to find a hidden gem in the 3-5 rounds of the draft.

I may be biased as an Arizona alum, but Jacob Cowing would be someone I'd love to land in say the 4th round, he'd be a great fit for Bryce.

We'll go with the old tried and true Panthers method, draft one in the 2nd round.

This is the time that Dwayne Jarrett will finally pan out.

Mingo has promise but I don't love drafting WRs who aren't good at running routes in the first few rounds

[Panthers8969]

I’m convinced no one read this post by the comments lol

Hate to point out, the plan at WR was committee of JAGs and The Processor 

[*FreeFua*]

I have no idea why ISM isn’t given a look at this point 

Mingo cannot be trusted to be where he needs to be. That is extremely difficult for a rookie QB. Hell, even the PI call Mingo got against the Texans on that final drive the route was trash. He got bailed out by the penalty. Had he not been held he wasn’t getting back to the spot where Bryce put the ball

1. We can't draft, so that's out of the question

2. If we sign a FA, we don't really use them

3. We need to trade for Diggs or a massive splash, but have no capital

We are in year 6 of a 25 year plan. Good luck.

I'm not as convinced we need a first round pick to find a good ball catcher.  Here are the top 25 receivers (TE's included) by yardage this year, and the round they were drafted in:

Yes, there are 11 first rounders in there, but if you look at highly successful NFL players at ANY position, you'll see something like that.  First round picks generally succeed at a higher rate than other rounds.

What is incontrovertibly true is that we must draft better in the first four rounds.  At all positions.  Our first four rounds need to be wins, every year.
