Not the biggest need (but still a pretty big one) and not a top value position like a QB but without-a-doubt the best player on the board. The guy is an absolute beast, best DB prospect to come around in a VERY long time, lives and breathes football and elevates the play of everyone around him. Not to mention he's made himself into a top return man as well. Here watch this and get all hyped and sh*t.

i wouldn't complain. but what about the offense? they have to make an effort.

Honestly, no matter who you take the offense is still going to be bad. Worst team in the league and it's not going to turnaround overnight. I'd rather start building by adding the best guys we can get rather than being desperate and reaching for guys that aren't really that good.

And AJ Green is one of the best guys we can get and he is also an offensive weapon that we will be in desperate need of a year from today when Smith will no longer be thought of as Elite.

Why is this so hard? It's Green. It's easy.

The only reason I would take a defensive pick is if I thought it could bring me a trade worth more to us than AJ Green, say like a DAMN GOOD QB!

FWIW this is the guy that shut down AJ Green, though I wouldn't hate taking Green either. Offense, probably best you can do is get a new offensive system and coaches in there. Fix the OLine, add a WR pickup or two through FA, trade up into the 2nd and take Kyle Rudolph, add a vet QB like Hasselbeck, ect, ect. Still plenty of moves there to be made.

Am I the only one that sees the importance of finding Smith's replacement now before we realize how bad we need him?

You cannot get that kind of WR though FA, young and with his whole career ahead of him, without giving up huge money or something very valuable for him like another high draft pick. What would be the point?

Capable receivers, and excellent receivers with a potential to become your main offensive weapon are two different beasts.

You can win championships with an elite receiver and a capable QB and even make it to the Superbowl. We have done that with Jake, Smith and Moose.

You cannot do that with "capable" receivers and average QBs.

We have a ton of needs. #1 receiver to replace Smitty, RG, LT to replace Gross (who is more of a RT anyway), TE, QB, DT X 2, CB, another DE in the rotation would help, good safety to move Godfrey to depth, PK to replace Kasay. F**k our team is a mess.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      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.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      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.
