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.

We are 13th I believe in the league in cap space. I don’t know the exact numbers but I don’t think it’s completely impossible we get two receivers of that caliber. Even if it isn’t those two. We are going to need to spend this offseason and WR should be the number one target.

Honestly I’m not sure if we can even afford one of those guys. We can hypothetically but that would mean Burns walking, Luvu walking. Or pushing back cap into future years which is not something a team as bad as this should do. We aren’t one player away, and free agency is not how you build teams with no structure. I hope we invest in the draft, look at the Packers with their young WRS(Jayden Reed, Romeo Doug’s, Christian Watson) not of those guys were first rounders.

Unfortunately,  think it's actually unlikely that Evans, Pittman, and Higgins are all FAs.     Guys of that caliber don't hit the open market.

 

Best realistic targets are Ridley and Hollywood.   

 

Need to draft a WR, preferably at 33.

   Maybe trade Theilein if price is right.   Mingo had a fine year for a rookie WR with a rookie QB on a terrible offense.  Everybody else is out the door.

Our cap next year sits at $30M - if we restructure some deals we can get to $50M.  We also need to deal with some free agents like Luvu, Burns, Franklin...but we should have some decent cash to spend.  The one bright side of having no 1st round pick is the contract savings too.

I'll get specific.  Clean it out, draft 2 minimum, new FA haul.  

First, land a prospect with refined route running coming in for once. Adonai Mitchell is my fave for us this year.  I've been a big Troy Franklin fan, but he's more of a downfield burner from that Oregon offense and we need someone who can get open quick, has good RR skills, and you can move around.  And then you go and grab another like McMillan out of Wash mid rounds.  Or maybe go for the YAC type with that Corley kid.

Pittman is my favorite target from a FA standpoint.  We'll have the money.  Need a bigger body hands-catcher.  That's Pittman (and more).  Noah Brown could be interesting.  He had some nice moments this year.  

I just hope we stay away from Gabe Davis.

I've been paying attention and listening to the draft gurus talk about this year's WR class. It's one of the deepest in recent memory and very good WR talent can be had at #33. Some guys who fall into the 2nd round this year would have been 1st rounders in other years.

Alot of work needs to be done in that room.  Chark and Viska should walk, TMJ most certainly a cut, probably should trade Theilen because of the value/ target share in the MOF.  It might not all happen in one year but we need to inject speed and a #1 into the WR core and will probably need to find some kind of TE to affect the passing game especially considering Hurst's serious concussion issues.  At WR at least there is alot of solid options in free agency and as potential trade candidates.

I like the trade Thielen idea.  He had a good season, but he will be done by the time we are competitive.  Not sure you could get much for him at his age...I think Mingo has room to develop and I saw flashes in Smith-Marsette who is a special teamer and could step up as a WR in some sets. 

Tua was a bust in Miami and suddenly, he got 2 burners.  I see that being in the cards.

I think we add a mid tier FA WR at most. Calvin Ridley or like Josh Reynolds. Thielen is still producing and reliable. Mingo should be on the roster there is still potential there. Ihmir-Smith Marsette showed something, I hope that is a resign. 

 

Spend a draft pick in the lower rounds on someone with some potential. I think it is very important for us to get a RB that can catch the ball out of the back field and make things happen while also being able to be consistent in the run game. Money or draft capital WILL be spent there. Chuba will be our hammer I think. 

 

As unideal as it is, I think the WR doesn't get  a major shake up this season.

I'd also be interested in us kicking the tires in the trade market, depending on availability and cost:

 

  • George Pickens (not sure where PIT stands on him or cost; 23 YO, 6'3" 200lb; 63-1140-5TD in '23)
  • DK Metcalf (wonder if his antics & new regime keep or punt on him; 26 YO, 6'4" 226lb; 66-1114-8TD in '23) **former ties to DC***
  • Jameson Williams (at best, he's the 4th weapon on DET's offense; 23 YO, 6'1" 180lb; 24-354-2TD in '23) **former ties w/ Bryce at 'Bama**

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
