They signed him to a contract--I realize one that they can break, but that shows they have a place for him.  I think they were waiting for the draft to decide what they are going to do with TMJ.  They drafted Legette to do the job that he has failed to do....Coker will play STs and spot duty as a WR and he will compete for the slot job when Thielen leaves.  The money suggests that they are more serious about him, unless there is something I don't understand.

By the numbers I think he just needs to beat out TMJ, that's done by just being 5 minutes early to his meeting!!

Panthers can carry 7 WRs as well, there's room given the talent level and 2 QBs. 

Honestly that's the first thing canalas needs to do, forget numbers, just carry the talent.

TMJ isn’t making the roster

Yes, the contract was impressive. Dude got paid enough to make a difference in any Joe Shmoe's life even if he doesn't make it. We'll see what it is in August.

I would bet that Smitty had a voice in this. I had never heard of Coker until 89 did the evaluation.

I'll admit, it's not looking good, but it's a new day. It's not like he hasn't flashed before. I'm not counting him down and out just yet, and I don't believe that DM or DC is either.

3 spots in the wr room is up for grabs. 

You think mingo isn't safe, it is a new staff/eyes/brains etc....but that would hurt if they cut a 39 overall player just one year in....yes, he didn't look good, same goes for the other 49 players..

They will keep seven. Only the 1st 4 are guaranteed a roster spot this season. It could be 4 spots if one of these guys can carve out a spot on special teams somehow.

There's going to be serious competition in Training Camp at WR. Outside of Thielen, Legette, and Johnson, the rest of the WR core is open.

I think ISM has a 51% chance this year as well, he finished strong and KOs could help him stay as well.

I do feel WR will be featured more, but they also said "WE are going to run the ball".

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
