WR/TE/RB help

Yea and that’s not even factoring in JuJu being dinged.

I think RB and TE desperately needs an infusion of speed/athleticism...WR is TBD..OL is TBD as well...I’m thinking the team has soured on Finney overall and Foster getting old.

Truthfully...I’d go see if the Bucs wanna trade OJ Howard. Arians doesn’t use the TE a ton. Just my .02.

OJ would be a huge boost to the Offense but I feel like the Bucs said they weren't interested in trading him when the Trade Deadline was approaching. Of course saying one thing and meaning another is always possible.

I agree about the TE and OJ would be nice, but he can't be traded now.

I really, really like this Cain signing... a Florida Boy, went to Clemson and played very well.  Was supposed to be a 2-3 rd pick and fell as stated before.  But he is 6'2" and can fly.  May be the true Z that we need right now.  At worse, he is a cheaper Moncreif that won't cost us a 3rd round pick.  IDK about the prognosis of DJ or JJSS, but this will def help the room and should be looked at as at least an upgrade on Holton.  I like what Jones gave us in a bit role, and this is where JW needs to step up big time.

White is a curious decision.  When I made this post, I saw him on the Bear's PS, and went over him even though we brought him in for a pre-draft visit.  I would have thought that we would bring in a bigger name or at the very least an every down RB, but he is a speed guy so there is that.  Maybe he is an upgrade on Tony Brooks-Jones or whoever that guy was.  I am concerned if we have to go some time with Samuels and Edmunds as the 1-2 backfield as I think they are almost used backwards in that Samuels is more of a 3rd down back right now.  But, maybe White can be used some.

I hate that we keep playing games with Sutton Smith, but WR bodies are needed!!!

 

I loved Darboh coming out of Michigan.  Another big body speed guy.  Great story... some injury history but def worth taking a flier on.

Quadree is a strange addition to me.... Not a WR in the NFL, more of a kick returner/gimmick guy.  Hopefully he learns his craft, as his speed is sick.  He seems to be a true development type at this point.

We had Quadree in camp once.

Yes we did.... and he didn't make the 53.  Went to the Giants and played a bit last year, but didn't make a catch.

Upgrading TE would be a priority for me this upcoming offseason...a rookie probably doesn’t make a big impact year 1 though.

Id trade for OJ Howard like I said or thinking a lil outside the box...sign Eric Ebron in free agency.

Cut Vance, resign Vannett and sign Ebron in FA.

me too, but with he headhunting the browns game had, there's no choice.  I still hold hopes for Smith here, but they won't cut chickiilo for Smith so it will have to wait until more injuries or next year
