Coach asked about Coker!!

[thunderraiden]

I don't think people realize just how in danger Adam Thielen is with Coker's emergence. I keep hearing XL but AT is who Coker makes the most expendable.

If it came down to Coker or AT, I'm taking the younger guy with a future ahead of him all day everyday.

The trade up into the 1st still infuriates me. Height of fuging hubris.

We traded 1 spot so we have a 5th year option. 1 spot dude. Personally, I get the logic behind wanting the 5th year option on a WR. I don't think hubris has anything to do with it. And it's not like we gave up more than the equivalent of a 7th rounder to move 1 spot. Basically we got a 5th year option on XL for next to nothing. Really not that big of a deal.

Can we just cut David Moore. I will be pissed if we lose any of these guys instead of him.

This XL slander is out of bounds. He has more upside than any receiver on this roster.

He also has the most downside.

You can add TMac, XL, Coker, Renfrow, Horn and Moore all together and their cap hit is on par with AT.   Morgan literally just paid him.  I was against it. But Morgan taking that big dead cap hit right after paying him would be admitting a pretty big mistake…which doesn’t seem very front office-ish.

Well he was the only consistently effective WR that Bryce had chemistry with. It just kind of was what it was.

I suspect he will prove to still be the #1 target, although I would love for some of our higher potential guys like Tmac, Coker, etc to start stealing those targets. 

AT is near the end. No sense in investing a ton of targets for a guy that has a very short career window left.

Barring some trade or injury, there are four receivers guaranteed to be on the roster when we play Jacksonville.

Thielen

Coker

Legette

TMac.  

Assuming we keep 6, the other two spots are up for grabs.  Renfrow looks like the favorite for #5, not sure about the last one.

I think the only way he makes the team is if Renfrow is just too banged up to keep around.

I would say Renfrow may be on shakier ground than most simply due to health. If that hadn't been the case, I have no doubt he would be a lock.

You throw the ball to the guy who gives you the best chance to win at the moment you are throwing it.  

If the rest of the group is as good as we think, then we use Thielen as a Ricky Proehl type.

This is why you stay away from drafting 1-year wonders in the first round. 

Unless they’re 20 years old, agreed

I think AT gets traded at the deadline and Moore comes up from the practice squad (if we can stash him) and that’s our final WR room

Horn should make it for special teams as a return option
