That's the point, There was talent at #39 and we simply picked the wrong guy.  This isn't like QB, once the top few are gone is a total crap shoot.  You can get solid, REALLY solid WRs into the 3rd round.  Beyond that if you are lucky.  I wanted Rashee Rice over Mingo.  Tank Dell had a great year and was drafted after Mingo.

We drafted Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo. The Texans drafted CJ Stroud and Tank Dell. 

And...

It is possible that they traded Burns knowing they would use the resources to get Higgins?  It seems as if they are going to give Bryce the best protection and a very solid set of WRs.  Higgins is a #1 X, Thielen is a slot, Mingo is the Z for now.   I think Tremble and Thomas will be the TEs, but there could be a draft pick (Wiley, maybe) or a large WR converted to TE (Claypool, for example). 

Can the defense survive without burns, Jackson, and Luvu?  I think it can if the offense is strong.  We can find 10 sacks, we get Thompson back, and Jackson was hurt a lot anyway.

And I realize that I could bitch about how bad things are, but we have seen the first day of free agency--I am ready to move on and see what we can do.

Higgins isn't even a #1 WR. He's a star #2. He's not even in the top 20.

Hard to say with Chase there-but I am also worried that he will not be as good here because Chase was getting the best CBs and S help a lot.  Here there is no Burrow.  So should he be expected to improve as the X?  Yikes--to your point.

Higgins lit it up when Chase was inactive if I remember correctly

I’d be willing to give up a lot for Aiyuk but they ain’t trading him

Genuinely, why?

We're not a superstar player away from contention. Especially not at WR - we saw how much good McCaffrey did. 

Build the fuging roster.

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      It's been many a year since we were in December talking about how games mattered for something other than draft order. This crazy, mixed up, unpredictable, maddening, uplifting and teeth gnashing season has certainly not been boring.

      Icky Contract Extension

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If you look at Brown and Horn's contracts, expect to pay above what he is likely actually worth. This is the Panthers suckage tax. Ultimately, much like Derrick Brown, he has steadily improved over time and that's what you want out of your young first round draft picks. He was one of the biggest and most important question marks coming into the season and he has answered it conclusively. He is "the guy" at LT. Great news, one less position of extreme importance to have to attempt to remedy.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      This is maddening because, well, it's so up and down. When the kid's on, he can be great. When he's mediocre, we can still win based on a strong running game and good defense. When he's bad, and over his history he's this more than not, then it's a sad show that no one could win with. How can anyone know what is going to happen right now? Really. It's like picking one flake in a snow globe and shaking it once a week... there is no telling where it will end up. Things I did see on Sunday from Bryce: his teammates love him; he can make the big throws with good protection and good effort from his receivers. He isn't afraid to run. He can rise up against the best in competition (but he can also sink to the level of bad competition).  All I can say is if Canales goes with an aggressive game plan for Bryce that leans on a hot-hand running game, the team can beat anyone. If there's any wishy-washy play calling, then Bryce melts and couldn't beat anyone.  Maybe the person Bryce needs to win over more than anyone is Canales.
