He was a project & a reach. Can't blame XL for the GM mistake. McConkey was best available receiver at that point in the draft. 

How many times is this team going to overdraft a project before they learn?  Have ANY high round picks over the past few years lived up to their draft position?

There are players all over the league that we passed on that are playing well.

One thing I hope DM learns from seeing Fitt's mistakes is it is okay to take the clear layup that makes your team better. You don't need to try to find DK Metcalf at 32, it's okay to take the elite route runner who ran a 4.39 and doesn't drop anything. Ladd and Bryce would be such an elite combo

And he'll already be 24 next month lol...

Yeah I had forgotten that until recently.

It's all unfortunate. But a lot of people wanted Legette even Bryce Young's father pushed for him on social media.

Just have to hope he can put in hard work in the offseason.

It looks like we're probably going to have to throw another dart at the board on WR in the upcoming draft. We have defensive needs ofc and we will address those but yeah.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
