King and McNutt wont be punchlines for long.

I rewatched the Atlanta game today, it was a perfectly thrown ball. He really should've came down with both feet.

 

Yes, he should have, but meh.  New team, young guy - give him another chance, I think he comes down with it in bounds.  He clearly wasn't ready last year, though. I'm not going to say he has no potential and won't amount to anything.  Either or both those guys could be big contributors.

 

Just wish we could find some journeyman vet with some experience.  We don't need a #1 in FA but we do need someone that can at least be a #3 if not a #2.

"Though it’s still not crystal clear, general manager Dave Gettleman does have a plan for his team at receiver."

and it quotes McNutt as saying this about the plan at WR by the guys in the front office: “They're just not going to go all straight young guys. There’s going to be guys they pick up."

Could someone help me out by explaining why King and McNutt, who couldn't see action on a team that boosted the 28th ranked passing attack, is supposed to be better than the WRs they could not beat out?

 

They didn't have training camp with us, probably didn't get a ton of reps with Cam at all, and were new to the NFL (McNutt was in his 2nd season, King a rookie).  It takes receivers time.  So they could be better than Lafell, Ginn, Hixon... We didn't get a ton of chance to see.

 

I don't expect them to be #1s, but you never know, they could be valuable this year.

      Yeah. How he shows up in training camp with a year of NFL training and nutrition will tell us all we need to know.  Side note... how has Bryce still managed not to find the weight room?

      I hope he finds his lane in year 2.  Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton.  I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it.  Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB.  However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme.  I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest.  Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.
