Johnson is elite at routes, foot speed, and getting space. 

His problem is rule #1 for WR, his hands are sus. We have already seen part of the reason pitt gave him away even with the elite traits. You got to catch the ball, if not nothing else matters.

It would be similar to BB players who cannot shoot jumpers, but is great at driving, layups, and free throws. Players give him the space and watch the bricks.

I think Johnson's ceiling is really a #2.   His hands aren't good enough and that 50/50 ball sort of highlights what he isn't.  He isn't a rookie like Leggette.  He basically is what he will be. 

I loved what I saw out of Leggette.  He is raw.  First real start.  Basically had Johnson numbers.  But once the game slows down....you got to like the way he already uses his body out there. 

Leggette is still raw, as you say. He dropped 2 balls and still had 66 yards.  If he did that every game, that is a 1000+ yard season.  He is body catching too much, but when he catches with his hands, the ball sticks.  I am not down on Mingo like others--he is slowly coming around and if we can have his as our #4, I am fine with him there.  Coker is the wild card.

I feel come draft time, you need to spend ANOTHER 2nd or 3rd at WR. I feel they will trade/cut AT and johnson will get paid by other team. I hate to say this, but nearly 98% that early 1st is needed at edge. Then you again go to the 2nd round WR well and try to hit on one. (pls god/s...)

Just not only need talent, but difference makers and those mainly come in the first 60 or so picks. I feel you could make a good case for CB too. I think they need to draft two edges as well. Plus in the mid-rounds they need a top backup DL. Plus by any means, get a NT if this 3-4 must continue.....too many problems.

feel like I need to bump some of those old Robbie Anderson is better than DJ Moore and we got to pay that guy even we got to overpay him a little threads…. 

 

In their defense Johnson is a much more talented WR than Robbie was… Robbie was a one trick pony. Johnson is good at the whole route tree. However I do understand the point you are making. Any WR that looks halfway decent we want to throw money at.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
