He could fetch a 4th or 5th round pick if he's not already IR'd by the trade deadline.

Blasphemy! He's no mingo!

Whether a surprise cut or retirement, Thielen will not be on this roster this time next season. I doubt Moore is much value to keep around long-term and there's a big question mark if Renfrow can even stay healthy. Right there, that's three spots that will be vacated in the foreseeable future. I want both Coker and XL to do well because then if TMac lives up to his potential, the answer to those holes are already on the roster. In my eyes, a TMac/XL/Coker corps is the real goal here. Exactly who is the best among those three we can debate ad nauseum as long as they all produce enough for this offense to work.

Thats what I'm saying. Why TF would Coker be on the bubble when he's outplayed XL in every way possible? I wouldn't even bat an eye if Coker stole the majority of XL's reps. 

It was a stupid question, for sure.  TMac/Coker/AT/Renfrow/XL--probably in that order.

XL's first four years in college before his break out 5th year season.

I would have taken him in the second round,, but trading into the first to take him looks to be a dumb move at this point. 

Nearly 500 of his 1200 yards in his final year came versus Vanderbilt, Furman and Jacksonville State.  Breaking it down even further, in those games he had one or more splash plays for HUGE yardage.  Point being, he's flash over substance and in the NFL he's not running away from DBs regularly for these massive break away plays.

If I am not mistaken, Ladd McK was available, and that is who I wanted.  Now, had we done that, Coker would be the #2 behind TMac right now and we'd have AT/Renfrow/Ladd at the same spot, but it might be better considering bryce is the QB.  Not giving up on XL, but yes, those one hit wonders are not worth first round picks.   That pick, followed by an injured RB (Brooks) was very desperate or too cute.  Morgan seems to have settled down.

Problem with that draft is we were sort of fast tracked to move on from BY IMO and XL was the closest things to a traditional Canales WR.  I only wanted XL under that context.  He and BY didn’t pair up.  Ladd was the ideal BY WR IMO.  Then BY did what no one expected.  Including Carolina IMO

XL is not polished enough for how BY plays.  But you could use him in an aggressive downfield chuck it up scheme

I am very doubtful he would get that.

Most of us wanted McConkey.  Turns out most of us were right (again).  He was still available and we could have drafted him right in front of the Chargers at #33 had Dan not panicked.

XL was always fools gold. Give me hands and hunger over upside and overdraft every day at WR. The trade just made it comical in my eyes.

Whatever, Coker saved them last year and they need to lean on him again this year. XL has shown jackall to earn a starting spot at this point. Hell, maybe it would light a fire under his butt to improve if, when really, Coker takes his reps and jumps him on the depth chart this year.

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

I can't say that with T-Mac on the roster. Tetairoa has unicorn upside in my opinion. 

I do agree about XL. People are jumping the gun to a fault (and faults lead to a DQ).

Coker isn't on the bubble...smh

TMac/XL/Coker is definitely the goal IMO. Right now, the biggest question mark on that equation seems like XL.

Oh good grief. Stop it. I get it if you're a Gamecocks fan but notice how you're on an island here? There are undoubtedly plenty of Gamecocks fans here but they ain't walking the plank with you on this one.
