I have no earthly clue why people want to keep drafting the same type of wr repeatedly and expect a different result on the field. 

How about drafting a dude with legitimate speed and separation with legitimate college production instead of protecting big lumbering dudes to be the next dk Metcalf??

This is why my favorite wr are Troy Franklin and Xavier Worthy

On the bigger side I wouldn't mind Keon. Or even Sanders at TE.

But at 33 it'll have to be between Ladd, AD, Worthy, and Franklin. I'd still add Leggette. Man ran a 4.3 but he's not as shifty...

Or wait until later...

Corley... don't sleep.

Isn’t that the dilemma, though?  Are we drafting to give Bryce ‘weapons’ and help him succeed, or to build the best damn team roster to set us up for years to come.  BPA if it’s the later but, I fear we are drafting, in part, to make Bryce successful and prove he isn’t a bust.

Bryce is a major bust but Teppers wife won’t agree. Passing on Wilson will be like us not taking shroud.

That’s the dilemma though. If Bryce is not successful, the Panthers aren’t successful. And we’ve invested too much already to help him succeed. It wouldn’t make sense to invest all that on blocking but not other players that would fit what our QB does well.

I like AD but I doubt he makes it to 33.  Worthy is fast but VERY small.  Honest question, who was the last Pac12 WR to make a big impact?  Addison comes to mind, but he was producing with Pitt before he transferred...  I feel like that division airs it out with no defense so the WRs look great.  That kind of concerns me with Troy Franklin, but I would be on board if we draft him.  His measurables look great.

My concerns are that Leggette seems like a carbon copy of Mingo on paper and Wilson's laundry list of injury history. He's a helluva LB but availability can be just as vital as playing ability as we see with Horn.

"On paper" really doesn't equate to anything except possibly measurables, and a lot of receivers and players in general have the same measurables. That's not what makes or breaks a player. 

I just thought I'd state that since so many people want to equate Mingo and Legette. SMH

I wouldn’t hate the idea, I would also be on with a double up at WR or a Center. 

I don't understand the double up at WR crowd.

 

Are people just not high on Diontae Johnson?

 

This guys is one of the best WR's at creating seperation. He's had a 1000 yard season a few years ago and he's still in his prime. We already upraded from Thielen. And we still have to work Mingo in the mix.

 

I think 1 WR is enough considering we have other holes to fill. If the Johnson trade didn't happen I could see the case for doubling up at WR, but we still have to figure out what we have in Mingo.

Johnson is on the last year of his deal, we need to plan for a possible life without him.

Because those guys just as easily turn out to be John Ross and Jacoby Ford. 

 

Catching is just as important as separating.

I'm actually expecting him to be our #1 WR moving forward. He's literally the perfect WR you need for a QB like Bryce. He gets open and Bryce gets the ball out of his hands quickly.

 

I'm expecting him to be a pro bowl WR for us.

That's kinda what people do with draft prospects though, talk about NFL comps.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
