TMJ and Chark were terrible.

It definitely looks like a great WR class. Honestly, last year's was a strong class too. People who thought it was a weak class were too fixated on the top of the draft. If you were holding a top 15 picks wanting a WR you didn't like last year's class. The strength of the class was the mid-round talent. We were smart to go WR where we did, we just chose poorly. Same thing with the Bryce pick. Trading up to #1 wasn't an idiotic plan. Bold, yes. But not idiotic given the QB talent on the board. We identified correctly that the cream of the crop would be off the board by #9 and we shot our shot. Then we chose poorly.

This year's WR class has both the mid-round talent and those elite top of the draft prospects. WR should definitely be in the mix at #33.

It's pretty wild how terrible this franchise has been at drafting WRs.

By far the best WR in franchise history was a mid-round pick drafted in large part for his abilities as a returner. 

You can argue Moose. Saw a video on Benjamin and he was great and really just never recovered from that injury. DJ was solid, but still dropped too many balls imo. always bring back bersin?

Moose was very good. DJ was very good. But when you're left with just a handful of good picks at a position where you routinely carry 4+ players on your roster that's overall terrible.

TMJ still has a year on his rookie deal.  He's cheap depth if nothing else, like WR5 or WR6.   He can walk next offseason.

If you're wanting to instill a new culture of toughness and accountability he's probably gotta go. Not like you'd be losing much. He could easily be replaced by a late round pick or someone off the FA scrap heap after roster cut downs.

I agree in principle, but there's too many holes on the roster to address every need in one offseason.  If he's a locker room cancer, then cut him, but if he's simply maxed out as a mediocre NFL WR then he can just be depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
