This list was only for defensive tackles and wide receivers, it even says so if you read the actual article. They were making a point that WR may be the position drafted.

SO why only include 2 positions? Seems to me if you want to make a point you need to use context. Sure WR may be drafted along with just about every other position besides center, QB,RB, TE, safety and special teams. Seems a long way to go to say very little.

I did twice trying to get the convoluted point. As I said in a much earlier post, when you start an article talking about going to an Australia zoo to see elephants it only will go downhill from there. Mix in some PCP dust in that next bowl and you might see some elephants as well.

I did. Smoke a bowl for further clarity and then reply................

So the writer is writing about the current wide receivers on the roster then he shows how much interest the team has had in the top ten receivers in this years draft. You're expecting him to talk about quarterback, running back, and tight end when it is an article about wide receivers? Then he compares draft visits and such of those top ten receivers with the top ten defensive tackles who in his words, "a position most fans think is dire" or the top position that most fans think the team will pick. The OP who quoted the link failed to realize this as you have so I will smoke a bowl on this fine Sunday afternoon.

And as I said earlier, interest is relative to who else we are looking at and whether we are wanting a receiver or just covering our bases if we decide in the unlikely event we might trade down.

Many fans who know our real needs versus perceived needs and listen to the coaches don't think DT or WR are dire needs.

Since DT is not a dire need but a luxury IMO for a unique talent then comparing WR to DT is a bunny trail unless we discuss corner or DE which are also considered big needs by the team as well. Plus how many WRs are we bringing in who could go in lower rounds or are we only looking at first and second rounders.

The article was incomplete and surely didn't convince me we are likely to go WR. But hey I am sure it is me...................

Defensive tackle has been the top position of need on this board all off-season so do not tell me any differently. Go back to my previous posts, you will see that I am in the minority when picking something other than defensive tackle at pick 9. The article was as complete as it needed to be, it had one point and it delivered that point. Wide receiver may or may not be the pick but the article shows stronger interest at receiver than defensive tackle for the top players at their positions.

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
