The 84th time is the charm.

I will say I am less skeptical of Taylor than I am about XL.

They should be looking for crisp route runners that can get YAC or at least just crisp route runners. That's what Young needs, not big athletes that aren't really good at their job.

Well the range that Taylor is likely in is where you can make some gambles on guys like him(3rd/4th round). That is what I viewed XL as and so far he has been.

If we can't get McMillian early, WR needs to be a FA thing. Some big splash signing like Higgins or big trade for Wilson. Outside that, this draft does look like one I would expend the 8th pick or even our 2nd rounder on a WR. I know there will be guys that pop in the 2nd and 3rd but it's a crapshoot in this class, IMO

I don't know if they need a big splash, but they do need at least NFL average besides AT.

I meant to say WOULDN'T expend the 8th or 2nd.

I am fine getting an elite guy at WR like Higgins or Wilson. That is something we are not going to be able to draft because we don't have anyone in the building that knows how to evaluate WR talent.

Maybe they need to talk to college coaches and ask if guys they're interested in can run routes. Get the college guys drunk so they tell the truth or something.😁

That, or just go with production until they find someone that can evaluate WR talent.

WR's seem like a relatively simple evaluation. We just fug it up constantly.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
