Only issue is, unless we find a later gem or somehow come up with another 1st round pick I don't see a lot of guys in our range that have the makings of a WR1, this may be a audition year for TMJ then attempt a splash next season type of deal.  Good WRs for sure this draft but when you get into the 2nd/3rd round there's a ton of questionable guys or guys who are better suited to the slot.

There aren't many WRs in the draft that fit what Reich would want in his #1. Quentin Johnston (1st), Bryce Ford-Wheaton (late 2nd), Dontay Demus Jr (3rd/4th), and Elijah Higgins (4th/5th). Reich will push to reach for a receiver he believes fits his system. Only TE in the draft that fits what Reich wants in a TE is Zach Kuntz. I'm sure Reich will be working/asking on getting Jelani Woods and Nick Foles from the Colts in a trade package with the Colts. I could see Reich placing all these rookie WRs as the #1 target in his offense and having Thielen over or under the rookie as the #2 reliable option. These are not my top WRs of choice from the draft to build an offense, but I get what Reich is doing with his offense and wanting a WR that will physically wear down a secondary over the course of a game.

Other than Hurst...what have they done???

To be fair I wish Ricci got more targets. He’s a natural pass catcher and is a natural runner with the ball. He showed that when he was actually targeted. 
 

But draft position means Tremble (elite blocker in college) has been forced as a pass catcher while Ricci (actually had hands) was forced as an H-back blocker (literally the reason Tremble was loved coming out).

 

Ricci probably won’t get a shot because he was undrafted, but so far he makes the most of his touches, while our other TE’s who lean more towards blocking, have been unreliable in the passing game. 
 

I just don’t get the logic outside of making decisions based on money/draft position.

Past Panthers coaches playing a guy out of position? There's a shocker.waynes world wayne campell GIF

Must protect jobs by making sure those draft picks get every chance possible.

While Fitty is killing it, the coaching staff has made his job easy this year.  Players want to come play for this Professional top notch coaching staff.  Makes all difference.  
 

Nobody  wanted to come play for Rhule’s college system  except for his old players.  
 

How refreshing.

so who do we trade or release, shenault, shi smith, TMJ?

Wouldn't need to cut or trade any of them. 

We had 7 to start last year.

If we only go 6 or 5

Thielen, Marshall, Chark, Shenault, Smith is only 5

A stud TE makes all the diff IMO.  Where would KC be without Kelce?  Shockey and Olsen were so good for this team made me wonder why we never tried to do that again.  Get stud TE's, it makes the receiver room better and you never have to pay top dollar for a receiver...plug and play.

Yeah, no one had a good answer for him all the way through the playoffs.  He was The difference in the games I watched.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
