For the life of me i can not understand why we have not made a trade for wr .i watched all the pre season and came to the conclusion lafell and edwards are 3rd stringers @ best. clausen cant win games with this guys. i say we throw d will on the block . stewart is the better back this point in his career. les make a move dammit!

This is why you're not the owner of this team.

But in all seriousness, you can't say Gettis and Lafell are only #3s at this point. Its been 2 games and its not like they have had a lot of balls thrown their way. Give them time. If by the end of the season, they're not making SOME kind of impact, then maybe we can talk about this. But there have been somewhere between 34 and 56839 threads about this since the last preseason game. We're not trading for anybody. Get used to it, man.

In the past 10 years.....how many drafted WRs were actually #2 caliber there rookie year. The safe bet is that they aren't going to be that this year.

but it doesn't matter. We are just playing a waiting game anyway. 14 more Fox games to go. Watching the young guys grow is what we have to look forward to.

okay i may be jumpin the gun a bit but u mean to tell me that we couldnt of used pat crayton i guy who was shopped for a 7th round pick ! a guy who has been a solid receiver for the most part of his career. the point im tryin to make is if jimmys our future we need to build the offense around him and not be such a heavy run team. we have stability at the rb position so we can afford to lose one.

Since when is it such a bad thing for an NFL franchise to develop their own players, instead of trading away draft picks for FA's? Does anybody here really believe that Vincent Jackson would have won this team a Superbowl this season, and would anything less than a Superbowl victory justify what they would have to give up to get a WR of that calibre?

People can bitch and moan about this all they want, but no trade is gonna make us world champs this year, and if we're gonna have to wait a year or two for it to happen, then why not do it with our own draft picks?

    • I wanted him to take over the hornets next year. He's a hard ass and I don't know if that works with 18 year olds that are getting paid. He's a good coach though
    • I mean, dude, come on. There is a huge difference between the two in only one word: explosiveness. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kc-concepcion/3200434f-4e04-6719-61ea-f84c4a062c16     https://www.nfl.com/prospects/corey-brown/32004252-4f35-6941-7d1f-17d92e3e6054 From what I've read, Concepcion is a very explosive, twitchy, dynamic receiver. His problem has been some drops over his career; some he has to own, others have been questionable throws by the QB.  Greg Cosell said that Concepcion may be the most dynamic receiver in the draft. Steve Smith is generally positive. There have been other, perhaps less known, analysts who are more critical, but even they love everything he does before and after the catch. Concepcion gets open!     Is Concepcion perfect? No. But he does have room for growth. He's much better than a nondescript Philly Brown.
    • Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB.  At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1. Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday. The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking.  OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting. Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits. Edge--bottom of the roster guys. If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:   There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson. Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper. Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez. NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.   Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
