With AT being slot and Mingo having slot as his best fit, I’d prefer a WR that could play outside. Washington has a lot of talent though…

I think that people are assuming that the slot is Mingo's best fit. I really haven't seen concrete evidence of this. Moreover, I'm not sure Thielen is even going to be here this season; he's certainly not going to be here long term. We should not ignore the long term. There's arguably been too much of that. Mind you that this means that Washington is likely not going to be drafted at 33. Number 65?

He’s rated as 80th best player in draft.  He’s a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder.  He’s 5’8 strictly slot WR in NFL.  He’s quick, physical with good first step and decent route runner but not blazing speed.  He’ll be perfect for Bryce because he gets a lot of yards after contact.  The only issue is Bryce might not see him over the line.

Tyreek Hill and Waddle are both 5'10.  You dont have to have these big receivers any more.  Quick timing routes, receivers that can get seperation and yac are the modern NFL.   I hope we dont prioritize size at all with our wr selections.  Ive heard weve talks to leggett multiple times and that terrifies me and I'm worried about Morgan as if is.

Tyreek Hill and Waddle have 5’10 QBs?

No.  They are 5'10 wr obviously.   Tua is  barely 6' qb 2" taller than Bryce.   Saying Bryce has to have tall receivers because hes 2" shorter is as bad as the whole Cam needs tall receivers so he doesnt overthrow them.

It’s about seeing over LOS.  Most OL are 6’3-6’4 and when they block they bent their knees, allowing QBs to see over.  When you 5’10, you are asking your OL to bend their knees 6 inches instead of 2 inches (6’2 QB).  The OL won’t bent their knees 6 inches lol.  It’s not WR issue, it’s QB issue.

New plan! We take all players less than 6 foot at all positions! Problem solved.

They should all come at a discounted price due to their shortcomings. 

Well, at least Bryce would be able to see over the line (I think).

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
