with the Ravens and Bengals quite a few WRs dropped. Everyone but Bryant shoudl be there in the second.

But no, I'm not willing to trade a first for Tate. Tate's good but there is a lot of talent in the draft, if he's not there when we pick (if the Rams pick Clausen/Bradford, don't be surprised if he's picked 33rd overall), so be it.

I think with the Ravens and Bengals out of the hunt for a WR, the Panthers will get a steal in the 2nd round.. I think Tate and/or Bay Bay Thomas could be sitting there for us. The Bills may take one of them in the 2nd round before us, but other than that, we should get one of them.

The Jets need defense, but they'll snag a receiver who's a high value pick. St. Louis, Tampa Bay, and Kansas City all sit at the top of the second round, and all of them need a number one receiver. Then you have Cleveland, Seattle, Buffalo, New England, and Miami to consider--they may not NEED receivers, but will grab a value pick there in a heartbeat.

That's a lot of teams between when Dez Bryant is selected and where we select. I wouldn't count on Tate. I wouldn't even count on Benn or LaFell. And given the bust rate of receivers, hell no I wouldn't trade next year's first to move up and get one. Not unless it was Dez Bryant, and even then I wouldn't be in too much of a rush.

We're not going to get a number one receiver in the draft this year. Fortunately, we already have one, and it's a lot easier to replace Moose than Smitty.

One of the things you need to consider is that Moore was completing a high percentage late last year, and the line gives him time. That's going to help young guys develop a lot. We should be able to draft a couple of guys with enough potential to field a decent unit, and we won't have to move up to do it.

That is a really tough call. I think Tate is the 2nd best offensive player in the draft behind CJ Spiller. I honestly could see a team taking him before they take Dez Bryant because of Bryant's off field trouble. I'll trust the team to do what it thinks is right. But I will say that if we want Matt Moore to be good next year we need to get a play maker opposite of Smitty.

I actually could see him falling into the 2nd round as well though. I think that the Jets are going to pass on a receiver. They have Edwards and Cotchery already and with Rex Ryan there I don't see them passing up some of these defenders...

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
