Everyone Pushing to Draft Yet Another WR Early

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
