Garrett Wilson could be an excellent addition for us, but I’m not convinced we will be able to get him for a price that makes sense for us. I think we’d be talking a first rounder or a second and some extra picks. With our team not being a receiver away from contention, we’d be better off building through the draft. There’ll be good receivers in the draft class and we can continue to build the trenches and upgrade the defense.

No way I'm trading away a decent LT for a WR

We’d be better off for the future if we had taken Wilson instead of Iky. Based on where we will draft, one of two stud LTs will very likely be available to us. With the two QBs, two CBs, Graham and maybe Carter, we might be better at LT with Wilson also. Iky is always going to be a liability pass blocking.

We also could have gone CB or C instead of XL. Team wise, I think we’d be better overall. I’m worried we may miss out on the clear defensive studs in this draft and reach because we don’t want a LT.

You can get a Garrett Wilson by prioritizing actual WR skills instead of RAS scores when drafting.

You can still prioritize ras, just make sure they do agility drills too.  Lol.  All the high ras guys we draft don't do any agility drills.  Their high ras comes entirely from height, weight, and 40 lol

Just go with film over measurables.  Take the best player.  Maybe his ceiling isn't the greatest receiver of all time, but he'll be more likely to contribute to the team.

This...is...stupid.

I don't understand why some are quick to trade Ickey. Only fans that don't understand our history at the position for the last decade, or just don't understand positional value due to availability (or simply luck) would be pushing a trade like that.

LTs are prime scapegoats, I would say second to only QB on the offensive side of the ball. So when the offense laid an egg versus Dallas, Ickey was right in the crosshairs.  Granted, it was his worst game all season, but having one bad game 14 games in shouldn't necessitate a mob of angry villagers with their pitch forks on the Huddle like last week.  The "trade Ickey" thread was over the top.

Why?

Diontae Johnson is a different type of malcontent. He was well known for not practicing at all if he had the slightest injury in Pittsburgh. And that’s from an organization with a strong culture, contrast that with Wilson who has been saddled with an organization that literally makes decisions based on the owners teenage sons and madden rankings. I’m not saying we need to trade the farm for him, just saying that he is not Diontae Johnson.

If you think we need to draft a WR at the top of the draft, you will want Wilson. I am a partial Jets fan now through my wife. This kid can ball, he runs great routes and can make insane catches. He is a true #1. He went through years of Jets BS with Zach Wilson, coaching changes, Rodgers and all that. He didn't complain and hasn't quit on the field. He just might want out of the circus. If you can get him for a 2nd round pick, you jump. 

 

Personally play style reminds me of Chad Johnson.

Well duh he's a #1 WR of course he wants to get paid. Why do you guys always bring up contracts when discussing good players.

 

If you want talent you have to pay for it. Who exactly are we even paying big money on this roster? It's time to splurge on someone for a change.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
