WR Room Overhaul

[Shocker]

We need at least 2 difference making WRs, a really good TE, a LT, G and C, and a RB.  Gonna take more than 1 offseason without a miracle.

I am totally ok with patience if we can fill positions with top notch players.

We need to move on from Higgins...I don't see Cincy not franchising him. 

Likely FA Options: Evans or Ridley. Either would be amazing. Ridley is my FA crush. His speed, separation, route running and YAC is exactly what BY9 needs.

Draft at 33: Worthy, Franklin, Mitchell, Polk

If we go OL at 33 and wait until 65: McMillan or Cowing

Well, aside from spending $40M a year on WRs for noodle arm, why draft 2 rookie WRs if we keep Thielen and Mingo as well?

I can assure you that Evans and Higgins aren’t signing 1-2 year deals.

I want to draft a rookie, preferably at 33. It looks like a deep WR class so we could get a guy who would have gone in the 1st in most drafts, like last year when reached for Mingo in a great TE class. If we can get a Downs/Dell type in the 4th (possible again due to deep class), I would be happy with that too.

I’d rather not spend much cap at all on expensive FAs. Keep Thielen and develop 1-2 rookies plus Mingo so they are ready to be solid starters when we find our real franchise QB. Rollover cap to 2025/2026 to splurge on FAs hopefully after a couple solid drafts and a new QB.

The Michael Pittman disrespect in here…

Somehow get Curtis Samuel back and try to acquire Aiyuk that man does some much work off the ball let alone being a stud

I like everything you said except keep Mingo. 

[imminent rogaine]

Get rid of everyone except Mingo.

We can afford to pay the premium it would take to make a premier WR want to consider our shitty team and shitty offense. Huddle is always hilarious when it comes to landing WRs in the off season. “Why don’t we just trade for Chase, and Jefferson and sign Evans and Higgins?”

I’d sign Dortch or Ritchie James as a cheap slot guy. They both do just fine when they get playing time. I would sign Ridley. He is good enough to be a WR1 on a team and might go under the radar with a hand full of other bigger names in FA. Throw a draft pick at one and hope we land someone talented for once.

Evans or Pittman would be huge assuming we keep Thielen.

Both are elite at creating separation against single man coverage and if they were to be doubled then it would open up a ton of room underneath for Thielen.

yeah it's really not that far away if we're willing to spend the money there. we could go from last to 16-20ish range by doing what you said

Dude reminds me of Nuk Hopkins or DJ Moore. Not in a talent, skill or size aspect but just the fact they all put up big numbers year after year with average QB's. MPJ is definitely underrated.

Does the Tampa OC hire means we have a legit shot at Mike Evans?

Unless Mine Evans has given up on his career and just wants to collect a paycheck I don’t think there’s any way he’d sign with the worst organization in the NFL. Evans has a real shot to break some NFL receiving records.

[MrBubba]

Can't imagine Evans coming here unless it's some record contract.  He likely either stays in Tampa or signs with serious contender.  

See if we can get Ridley and hope Troy Franklin falls to 33.

How I picture you responded to those three sentences 

 

Honestly I was just kinda surprised you wrote that. Do you have an arguments to my points made? Not even tryna be a dick, maybe I’m missing something.

I think people are trying to create imaginary narratives about Mingo in order to be gratuitously negative. Mingo's rookie year wasn't great but it wasn't terrible (which is a miracle considering the circumstances). He just needs to keep developing. He can probably be an effective chain mover.
