The team wanted a veteran wideout. I was ambivalent.

Oh, a swimmer...

So pick one:

- Almost $10M for Graham Gano and Torrey Smith

- Almost $10M for drafted rookie kicker and Sammy Watkins/Allen Robinson

?

Would paying $10 million in free agency for a player negate Norwell's compensatory pick (likely a third round pick)?

You don't think it's sort of necessary with Norv's system though?

I think that type of receiver is a good thing to have in a Coryell system.

I'm not as sure that Torrey Smith is as threatening in that role as some are thinking though, at least not anymore.

[Riv]

Guys.  You bought into the fallacy that we needed a deep threat.  WRONG.  We need a #1 WR who can get open!

Samuels ran a 4.3 at the combine and Byrd ran a 4.25 at his pro day.  Why can't they play the #3?

We needed a #1 and got a redundant player.  It was stupid.  THE END.

K Eddy and WR Watkins

But T Smith is going to surprise imho

Good point.

Possibly.

If you had a true #1 WR would that pick be less important?

We can cut him anytime. Good trade. I hope we’re not done looking for a WR

I'm sure we are and that's exactly why most of us are pissed.

[KillerKat]

Also, finally a fuging WR that wears a number in the 80's

I'm just asking. It would be nice, but signs are pointing to a big move for a defensive back.

[AggieLean]

I’d still like for Hurney to go WR early in the draft, but I’m ok with this deal. I wasn’t as down on Worley as most were, but I’m ok with parting with him. I don’t think Bradberry is all that, and eventually Hurney/new GM will have to deal with him, but he gets another year. Man, what a mess our secondary is. Hurney and/or the new GM will pretty much have to rebuild that group.

Literally anyone but Richard F Sherman.

That's the other big problem with this trade.  We dealt from a position of weakness for a player that is redundant.  Literally the stupidest thing you can do.

Worley wasn't consistent for Rivera. Would have probably been cut if not traded.  Works out well for us. 

 

For a WVU note Eagles now have 4 to mountaineers on their team.
