So D.J gone..need WR's badly

[Jmac]

What do they do. They need the guys to catch the ball no matter who the QB is. What do you think they do...  FA or draft or both.

 

What u got?

Adam Thielen come on down!

I think it’ll be both. Some good but old WRs in FA, take one as a stopgap. TE with 39, maybe a WR in the third.

Currently, the league has a wide receiver deficit. They cost first rounders to trade for, are the second highest paid position group in the league (last I checked), and are being over drafted yearly. Six receivers were selected in the first 18 picks of last year's draft.

It's not going to be as easy as people think to find one without being lucky. We have to start taking shots this year.

Saw Panthers staff was at Odell’s workout today… I am sure he will want too much and be on playoff ready team to get another ring.. Hopkins maybe but I don’t think he’s a FA.. not sure who’s available currently.. saw Bears is taking Moores salary too.. so might give us wiggle room

I remember when Benjamin got hurt in 2015 and everyone thought it was the end of the world.  We had no other big name receivers and went 15-1.  Don't overreact guys.

We can easily replace DJ. He was overrated and not a #1. There will be someone with our 2nd round pick.

Let's not start equating prime Cam Newton with a rookie just quite yet.

Generally speaking we want to put as much talent around a rookie as possible while they develop. It's the reason why Hurney brought in Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey to compliment the veteran Steve Smith.

None  are going to wow you but maybe DJ Chark, Hardman,  Lazard,  or Slayton.  Maybe Reich reaches out to TY Hilton to see if anything is left in the tank. Does Jarvis Landry have anything left?

Yeah, but as I said it's not easy to find a receiver in the draft or free agency. It's difficult.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I understand our fanbase doesn't give D.J. much respect, but around the league he's much more appreciated.

Keep in mind, I'm one of the few people that predicted that the Bears would want D.J. Moore in a trade, months ago. My reasoning then, is the same reasoning now that it's going to be difficult to replace him as receivers are a premium position that are difficult to find.

Receivers are now the second highest paid position group behind quarterbacks. They don't usually become available in free agency when in their prime, and when a trade happens it usually includes a first round pick(s). Receivers are so valued that 6 were selected in the top 18 picks of last years draft.

We can win this division with Stroud or Young with this defense. We damn near won it with Darnold.

 

I wouldn't say we are a rebuilding roster. If we offer him the most money I can definitely see OBJ coming here. I wouldn't offer him a lot though.

It would be awesome to have Odell… would be like when we brought Shockey and Keyshawn in.. don’t need to be full time players!! Be situational guys!
