Tetsujin Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Parker can't keep carrying that group. We need multiple new threats out wide. My prediction is that we make 2 big investments in the WR position this coming offseason: A FA and a 1st round pick. I'm gonna say (dream) Allen Robinson and Jaylen Waddle. Hollins/Callaway would be an OK WR4/WR5 if we have them back next season. Grant should be WR6/RS. Preston Williams will be an odd man out. He's either injured or dropping passes. Bowden, I don't know. Edited November 29, 2020 by Tetsujin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowden, I don't know. What? Of all the guys we have, Williams is the "odd man out"? He's #3 in receiving yards right now despite playing in 8 games, and he's tied for first in TD receptions. Keep in mind He busted his foot giving up his body on an outstanding individual effort to score a TD getting flipped over a defender. He leads in average yards per catch at 16.0. Last year, he was 3rd in yards despite only playing again in 8 games. Sure, knock him for being unavailable BUT to say that you'd get rid of our #2 WR, who is on a UDFA rookie contract, and seemed to have the most chemistry with Tua, and keep everyone else would be unwise. I'm fine with adding a weapon to the group for sure. Obviously, we would benefit from an upgrade to the WR group (as we would benefit from an upgrade to any position group). But let's not have a knee-jerk reaction and cut our second best WR in Preston Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Don't think Allen Robinson would mesh here. Seems like he's a diva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to get rid of him but we need another perimeter WR for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, more speed on the perimeter would be great. But that doesn't mean we dump Williams. He's only in year 2 of his career as a form UDFA. There's some serious potential there with him, and I think he will develop to be a good #2. If you want to argue for using one of our top picks on a WR, go for it. You want to use some of our cap space to lure in another receiving threat, let's hear it. But, I don't think we can honestly advocate for him being jettisoned off the roster.

Emerica Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Yeah Williams and Parker are fine but we need a guy who can get separation. Parker and Williams are good 50/50 ball catchers but they just can't get separation consistently and Jakeem Grant is what he is. Gesicki is another high point catcher that can't get separation. Texans' pick is looking like it'll be in the Jalen Waddle, Devonta Smith, Rondale Moore range. Last year we concentrated on the trenches, this offseason we need to get Tua some weapons. Jamarr Chase would've been a dream tbh. Devonta was actually my favorite receiver out of the big 4 from Bama (Jeudy, Ruggs, Waddle and Smith) so I would be stoked if we got him.

Tetsujin Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 I was bullish on Williams but not anymore. I boldly predict he’s not apart of things before the beginning of next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we really can't afford to abandon the trenches yet either.... Having said that I really want our two first round picks going to the WR and OL position in the upcoming draft.

Deadeye Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I've been wanting Waddle for some time. We need to upgrade the overall speed of the WR group. Parker has good speed for his size, so keeping him is a good idea. Everyone else is expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinsesq Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I’m fine with both Williams and Parker. Definitely need to add a quality wr and rb (via the draft why pay fa prices), to the group and devoting a draft pick or two to the trenches.

hrubes20 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I want to see how cheaply they could get John Ross in FA as well. Bring in both Waddle and Ross and this offense could really open up (assuming Ross only plays half of the offensive snaps or so in an effor to keep him healthy).

But I'm with you guys, in that I would not scream at all if an OL was taken with one of the first 4 picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking WR, O-line, LB and RB will be the first four picks. Only 6 months til the draft, woooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
