You cannot expect to fix the defense with draft picks alone. A lot of that money is going to have to go to the defense. 

I agree we need wr help desperately. But not as desperately as the defense needs help.

Don’t forget we’ll get better with healthy Derrick Brown and hopefully Shaq Thompson.  Draft two more starters in first and second rounds, later rounds for rotation . It won’t be elite but will be in much better shape and give us a chance to win some close games .

Derrick is huge but Shaq is done.  We need stars on defense.  And a new defensive coordinator

I would not count on Shaq being here, and if he is I would not expect a huge improvement there. Counting chickens before they hatch from the draft is not something I put faith in. It's possible they can move up 5 or more spots in the rankings if they can stay healthy though.

He would be the best on our team as it stands now. But I'm not in favor of paying him a big contract to come here.

Personal opinion but I think he’d be a #1 on 70% of the teams in the NFL. 

I just think he’ll get Aiyuk money which doesn’t make sense for us right now.

If we decide to beef up the interior through free agency with one of Milton Williams or Osa Odighizuwa then getting a WR on a rookie contract makes much more sense. For what it’s worth I project Williams at $20M APY and Odighizuwa at $25M APY. Both would probably be a better investment than Higgins at $30M APY.

He's definitely the #1 on at least half the teams in the league

The potential bidding war for him and his injury history scares me off of him. We've already dealt with a player like that in CMC and we eventually gave him away. That and I see us needing the spending money to fix the defense. We already did that last offseason with the O-line.

How I see things, adding an explosive piece would be ideal but even just finding a guy that's reliable and not overly expensive also works. I mean, Thielen has been one of the few things we did for Bryce initially that has actually worked well. Can we find another guy like him?

Big issue with Higgins is the injuries over the past two years. He hasn’t been able to stay healthy, he was dealing with an ankle/knee injury heading into todays game.

But those saying he isn’t a #1 are dead wrong. He’s missed 5 games but his projections over 16 games are 100 receptions, 1,248 yards, and 15 TD’s.

Literally, the only WR putting up better numbers than Higgins on a per game basis is his running mate, Chase.

You just have to ask yourself, is a guy who has missed 10 games over the past two years worth $30M a year.

 

from what I remember, and that's not much at this point in the evening, is that the Bengals can't afford him.  They are paying Burrow and their #1 receiver, and would love to have him back but they can't pay all 3 that kind of money.
 

His problems have been injuries and you hate to pay big money to a guy like that, but he will probably be available.  As someone mentioned, the Pats need a WR and have the space.  

Still, fun to think about our O with him, Bryce developing, a damn good OL and the rest of the WR corps supporting, and a much better defense with the draft.

Pats definitely make the most sense from a money standpoint.

My sleeper teams for Higgins would be the Commanders and Packers. Both have a ton of cap space and not a whole lot of holes to plug in free agency. Both could use one more game changer on offense to get them over the hump.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      Derrick Brown Snubbed

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
