For peaks sake we need to do SOMEthing. Either acquire a good vet, Boldin for instance, and draft a new youngster at WR or both. I almost added that we need to draft or acquire a DT. Then I realized I am not really as concerned with that since we are close to logjamming at that postion.

If they draft a WR in the 2nd they will not give any consideration to his return skills. This FO has shown they have no interest in spending any resources on a returner in FA or the draft.

They draft whoever they think is the best WR at that point and if he's a returner then it's a bonus. I would rather get the best WR on the board, then get the best returner later.

Smitty was drafted to return kicks...

Trindon Holliday of LSU. He's only 5-5 and 161 of so, but he's probably the fastest player at the combine at a 4.25ish 40, and can return kicks like a beast. Very similar to early Smitty in my eyes. He could be a steal in the 5th/6th.

Another guy similar is Brandon Banks of K-State. 5-7, 155. 4.29 40 time. Probably the best kick returner in the nation last season.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      Bryce had a hand in the Miami win but not nearly as large of one as Rico and he also had the extra burden of being a big reason we were in the hole in the first place. If we get a winning season he is definitely back for next year though.
