Everyone Pushing to Draft Yet Another WR Early

[RumHam]

You have to give time to what we have. Wasting yet ANOTHER high draft pick on a WR is a stupid decision. Glad y'all ain't GM's. Thielen is clearly the number one option for Bryce. Legette and Coker need time to actually develop. David Moore served as a safe space, but he is literally JAG. Trading for Wilson seems like the best option. Overpaying for a journeyman veteran isn't. Higgins isn't the answer, he benefits from Chase.

What in the schizophrenic fug are you on about?

Huh? Who's pushing for another WR drafted early? Everyone?

We can’t evaluate WR so the only options I see is go pay a lot for a guy who is proven or draft the consensus #1 WR

Best player available. If that's a WR, then it is what it is. Sorry (not sorry). You don't reach for a player at a position of need because you feel like it. Reaching is arguably how we ended up where we are today. 

Thielen is not a WR1, it doesn't look like Legette is either. Coker isn't a WR1. We arguably have three guys with WR2 upside (if we're lucky...which we're not). WR is on our list of needs, whether you like it or not. You look at what you're in the market for, choose the player with the highest grade, and put in your card. If you can trade down to gain value, then you can consider that as well. This is how this works.

It's not a crazy good crop of WRs this class. Now the running back group is much deeper and we still need one of those.

Thielen literally contemplated retiring this offseason.   I don't think XL or Coker will ever be a true #1.  If there was an elite all around prospect at wr at our pick I would be totally fine with it, but I'm tired of drafting big body possession receivers who skip agility and quickness drills.

I don't think we draft one early but I can't see us sitting on our hands this offseason and going into next year without upgrading the position

There are some McMillan fans onboard.

I don't have an issue with it but you've gotta look at the overall offseason (free agency, trades, etc)

LOLOL

"big body possession receivers who skip agility and quickness drills"

I love when people just announce to everyone that they have no idea who T-Mac is as a player

This is a very short sighted take. Theilen is here one more year tops. As soon as 2026, or possibly sooner if we trade Theilen to a contender next season, our WR core could be WR1 Tet, WR2 XL, Slot Coker. Possibly switch XL and Coker. 
 

That’s a strong young trio to grow with our QB who is younger than most of this season’s rookie QBs.

I agree but we have never drafted a WR early.

Does anyone actually believe Garrett Wilson is available for trade for anything less than a first round pick?
