Someone with more draft knowledge with me can help puzzle this out :

Canales said that when he was in Seattle, everyone on the offensice staff + ST were excited about Tyler Lockett. He said they are looking for a guy like that and it sounds like they found him. Who could it be? Who could excite on ST as well?

Leggette probably has one to the top ST resumes of the WRs.  He did KR.  So the smoke still is there with him 

 

Worthy and Coleman were pretty good at PR last year.  They both had 70+ PR TDs. 

Probably some more. Those are the 3 that stand out for me

Also with the new kick return rules you pretty much have to return the ball and the defense doesn't get a head start, so that's going to change the whole concept of who's active on game day weekly. A guy not afraid to run hard and get you started at the 40 consistently might jump ahead of a better receiver who doesn't have much return experience in college

Never thought we’d have a coach close to my age. 
This team loved coaches that were in their 50 or looked like they were in their 50s. With Seifert 70s. 
 

Seifert was 59. He and Reich were only 2 hired above their 40s

 

Capers 45

Seifert was 59

Fox 47

Rivera 49

Rhule 45

Reich 61

Canales 42

I understand why Canales was hired. The guy just projects confidence, work ethic, passion, and intelligence in all respects. I hope he works out.

It’s refreshing after watching Matt Rhule who made me want to go take a shower every time I looked at his sweaty face

You’re overthinking it, he was referring to a unanimous consensus, not a comparable example.

How about Malik Washington? Guy was a monster on offense and special teams last year.

    • First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.
    • Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
