I know  this will get flamed but i would not hate the idea. The guy is the best wideout to come out since AJ Green/Julio Jones. The guy does everything atleast average to above average. He high points the ball he's strong and could run as fast as 4.33(rumored). The guy is ripped for 205-210 receiver,and run over defenders. This guy is a weapon and would also be our new KR allowing ted to work on his wr skills.Every team in our division has a true number one and i'm exspecting Smitty to look even worse than this year. He is worth a top 5 pick and if he slips outside of that range I would not mind a move ala falcons a few seasons ago. Instant offense. I know we have needs everywhere but true bluechip players like this don't come out every year.  I can't watch another season of pray someone gets open for cam.

Watkins is a tempting prospect and I'd love to have him. However, I don't like the idea of mortgaging the future. #1 receivers can be had for a lower price than two first rounders. Look at whats happening with Bob in DC. They tossed, what, three first rounders to get him? Dude is falling off the wagon and DC is on suicide watch.

 

I'd rather wait our turn and take the best player available.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
