Anyone else impressed with this Wylie kid?

I just don't like spending another pick on a WR, unless you are trying to get Smith's replacement.

If we draft this guy, we will have taken five receivers in the middle rounds in the past three drafts. (Lafell, Gettis, Edwards, Pilares, Wylie).

At some point, we need to start addressing the defense in the later rounds (especially this year). We have enough talent to sustain us at the receiver position for the next 2-3 years (Smith, Lafell, Gettis (?), Olsen, Shockey (?)). Even if Gettis is not the same and shockey doesn't come back, we can pick up a vet on the market that knows the position and can contribute better than a late round rookie would ever contribute (with the exception being a guy like Colston who was athletically freakish)

If we continue to take flyers on receivers, we are neglecting building depth on defense and we will continue to have the pains of watching guys like Jordan Pugh get toasted by Greg Jennings for a 50+ yard TD

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      By Newtcase · Posted

      I was never onboard with Morgan to begin with.  The dude always seemed a hammer short of a full tool bag, maybe too many concussions.  He was a Fitterer hold over and I thought he should have been gone when Fitts went.  He literally made it to NFL GM with no credentials to speak of other than a playing career.  Shorts stints of personnel management for the Seahawks and Bills, neither organization choosing promotion or retention.  I believe Morgan was added as a friendly face to sooth the a fanbase that was growing to hate Tepper and probably retained for the same reason.  Morgan never coached, had minimal front office experience and the GM he "assisted" was deservedly fired.  From what I can find online he received a BA in Liberal Arts from Miami so that isn't exactly a qualification either.

      If you really want to change the identity of the culture, then your opinion may indeed be the way to go. 1) I see nothing from our drafts since 2020 to indicate that either the scouts or the GM's are shrew evaluators of college talent. 2) A new GM should be able to hire a coach since his livelihood is directly affected by how well the coach can get the team to perform on Sundays. The only time I'm ok with a GM keeping the coach that proceeded his hiring is if the new GM wants to work with the coach. Ideally, He should have final say over the coach instead of the owner. And, that coach and GM need to be in sync on how the team should be run on both sides of the ball. 3) A new coach should be able to pick his own staff. If he wants to keep a coach already on the staff that's fine. A new HC hire shouldn't be told that you have to use this guy for one of the jobs, especially a position as important OC or DC.

      The crazy thing is some of these plays that went down to like 2 on the play clock were basic inside zone runs. That poo shouldn't take 30+ seconds to decide when you are down 24... It's not like they had to hot route multiple receivers and change blocking assignments after lining up. It's almost like Canales has somebody else's playbook and needs to flip through 10 pages to try and figure out what play he is going to run
