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

[Sgt Schultz]

I don't think people remember that our exercises in futility prior to QB were trying to find a WR.  How many years was that one of our positions of need, if not the major position of need?  We drafted them every year and either fouled them off or whiffed completely.

We'll see how the current brain trust addresses the position.  The other question is how our current group fares in an offense that is not a clusterf*#k.  The Chiefs just won an Owl largely because their coaching staff schemed ways to get their receivers open......sometimes wide open.  We haven't seen that here in, well, ever.  I have some hope that changes and if so, some of our existing group may actually show some life.

Yeah he had 27 rec and 1 TD last year.

Don't recall a 1-TD season from DJ??

Enlighten me

Compare the number of targets and utilization and enlighten yourself. 
 

DJ’s struggles to find the end zone have been discussed a lot on this forum. He doesn’t struggle to put up yards though.

I'd rather have a big-play WR than a no-play WR.

It was week 3. There are 17 games in a season. Hence, he had 0 TDs in his last 14.

You got it, I thought it was weeks later. I know he got hurt as well, tad unfair to judge that too. Or do we need to put more dirt on him?

Sign Bozeman, TE Shultz in Free agency, along with one vet like Hardman, Odell, Thielen, etc, draft a WR in round 2 which  is a very high second. We still have TMJ and Laviska Shenault. That’s not bad we still have a pick in round round 3,4,4,5 and can get someone like Foreman back or draft someone in round 3

I don't hate the dude, he's just overrated.

I’d rather have a QB

So would I. But he can't pass to himself. Rob Johnson ain't walking through that door.

He could be better with an offensive playbook that wasn't stolen from a high school coaches office.

Rob Johnson. BRAD Johnson.

He’s not overrated. Most everyone believes he’s a WR3 type at best. 
 

I think he’s a sleeper RB1 or, at minimum, a good 3rd down back type.

How is a guy who's even weaker an upgrade or even deserving of WR2? 

Hes not? did someone say this was possible?

Id put it at low single digits, but I also wouldnt call him calm bait either. 

Whats wrong with putting Shenault in the same gimmick role?

We will not be able to obtain the WR talent we need with this draft and the picks we have right now. A big time free agent WR signing is almost a certainty.
