Hey, hold on guys.  Remember, there are never players available at our pick.  They'll all be long gone.  As it always is, the draft ends before we pick.  Remember past year

Sorry, love the huddle logic lol.

As far as speed merchants go, at least Worthy has the ability to run routes too.  He's not just a vertical route guy.  He can operate in space.

Agree that Worthy looks like a football player and not just an underwear Olympics warrior. Good hands, good route running, great ability to track the ball - even in traffic, and obviously elite speed.

Question is, can Young (with his arm), get him the ball accurately and forty yards down field.

Haven't seen it yet on any consistent basis.

He can. Even if he couldn't, it doesn't matter. The team needs playmakers at WR, whether Young is the QB in the future or not.

I get the snark but our needs aren't changing no matter if Prime Cam was back there.

Yep the top 100 players will be gone by pick 33.

They won’t be I wish they would go back to back WR in the 2nd and 3rd.  There are too many good ones in this draft.   
 

 

Sounds like we are signing a FA OG, so maybe we double dip at WR if the value is right. I wouldn’t be against a cheap FA like Curtis as well to throw into the mix. We need a complete WR makeover.

I'll just say this....if he's the pick at 33 I won't be upset.

I won't necessarily be upset, but I will likely feel that we can do better. He has real limitations in terms of physicality. Contested catches? Blocking? Route running? None of those are checks.

For me, it will probably come down to who is on the board, and I'm just talking receivers; I haven't even gotten to the other positions yet.

Nope, not just the top 100.  Teams will be doubling and tripling down on picks to draft all 6,000 players before our pick!!!

I hope you know I'm kidding.  Huddle Logic is always "the last good player was picked before our pick."  Happens every draft.  I'm just being silly 😃

There's about 5-7 WRs I am totally cool taking about that point after the top 5 WRs are taken off the board.

I'm hoping that we can trade back and pick one of them up.

But there's also about 10-15 that if we got 2-3 of them I would be giddy with. I would like us to do nothing but play makers this year. 2-3 WRs, a TE, and a big workhorse RB. Gimme these guys.

I feel like we're always going to feel like we can do better than the guys we pick. There's always going to be arguments for and against them and someone guaranteed to bitch about the picks (these experts we have in here).

For me it's not really could we have picked someone better, it's "did we make the team better than it was?"

Imo, we're going to have to work hard to screw this up (making the team better). The unfortunate thing is we've got plenty of practice fugging things up. I just hope we've learned something.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
