If Coker picks up where he left off last year he needs to quickly replace XL in the starting lineup. We might have need to use XL like the Vikings used Cordarelle Patterson. We may have drafted a great athlete who just isn't a WR. Okay, whatever. Don't cry about it. Just try to figure out how to best utilize him and understand that yeah, he's never gonna live up to 1st round billing. Again, whatever. Something is better than nothing. Try to figure it out.

Patterson was a great football player.  Bad WR.  We see that a lot on defense and at WR.  XL can still be of value if we had a good staff.

Yea, when Coker comes back, I’d work on phasing XL out. You’re a bit more optimistic on him than I am. I don’t see him lasting long in this league at all. Sucks, because I like XL the person. Seems like a genuine guy, comes from the area my mother is from, just a likeable guy. He’s just not a WR, and I don’t think he can be one. 

He's probably not. But Patterson wasn't either and he's still in the league as basically an offensive utility player relying primarily on athleticism and playmaking ability despite not really fitting in at any real position.

You explain how Renfrow gets his grade in the what if the other guy actually did his job world of PFF? 

That ball to TE Saunders is a very difficult ball.  Thats not a gimme that’s supposed to get logged like the XL foot down ball.  It wasn’t a 50/50 im the sense 2 guys were going up for the same ball.  It’s just a low % play.  A TE gonna collect that type ball maybe half the time. 

I’m not here to say Bryce’s grade makes sense he made me physically ill with some of those decisions.

Bryce completely screwed Renfrow. But they supposedly grade route running, run blocking, etc. Renfrow wasn’t great. But he had chances to make plays and didn’t. The passes didn’t do him any favors though and one almost got him killed.

I do hate to say this but a real NFL tight end makes that catch most of the time. Now Ian Thomas, Chris Manhertz, Hayden Hurst, Tommy Tremble? What we are used to seeing? Yeah they might catch that ball 25-50% of the time lol

I think league wide, there just aren’t a lot of TEs where that’s a high % play.  Are there even 10 really good rec TEs in the entire NFL right now? Might be but you would probably have to really think about it.  Just seems like a tough ask to count as a should be.  

PFF counts it as a straight up drop.

Oh and the PFF brainiacs were breaking down the upcoming game.   Dude said if there is one thing we know about Bryce Young…..he wants to throw the ball downfield

wut? 

I think they must have let AI takeover their work or some poo.  It doesn’t sound like they watch Bryce Young.  Who would describe Bryce like that lol 

Reminds me of Bryce's rookie year. Jonathan Vilma was calling the game and he said on live TV, something along the lines of, "Bryce wants to show off that big arm of his."

XL is trash. Worst WR I've seen since at least Dwayne Jarrett.

This is why we need to draft football players and not physical freaks!!! I was advocating for Ladd McKonkey but Dan wanted someone who can run fast. Running a sub 40 time is a God given talent, but sometimes you really can't teach football to people.
