TMJ tried to get traded last year and Fitts allowed him to "explore" options.  There was ZERO interest.  I guess they can try again.  I don't think Fitts was actually trying to facilitate a trade, so maybe Morgan can make it happen this year. 

I'll take a half eaten pickle. The sandwich is off the table.  Word is it the sandwich got dropped on the floor from the table and the dog ran off with it and the pickle was too temping not to take a couple bites.

Half eaten pickle it is then for TMJ.

I would take one less WR spot if it means we can have both Matthews at TE (who is a better receiver than half our Wr's) and Raym as a legit backup C

Matthews looks leagues better than the bottom of our WR depth.  I think that's an easy decision.  Especially if we are in 2 TE sets often.

He only threw 5 ints. No big deal 

Lol in the pre season at that.... 

 

The guy was always a long term project worked out for the 49ers anyway they drafted the second coming of brady

With all cuts 90 to 53 done in the same couple days it’s not as cut and dry as the old preseason rules. I preferred two phases of cuts

I think it may have made it difficult on the first wave of waived players--without knowing who might get waived during the final waiver,  teams may have missed out.  Just a theory, but with all the players on the table at once (each with the 24 hour rule) maybe it was better for teams.  Just speculating.

Why can this team not draft a WR? Rae Carruth-TMJ--the history is terrible.  Heck, the best WR in team history was a third rounder drafted to return punts.  Here is what we have done:

Did not Pan Out

• Rae Carruth
• Donald Hayes
• Walter Young
• Drew Carter
• Keary Colbert
• Ryne Robinson
• Dwayne Jarrett
• David Gettis
• Armanti Edwards
• Kealoha Pilares
• Joe Adams
• Kelvin Benjamin
• Shi Smith
• Terry Godwin
• Terrace Marshall

Works in Progress

• Jonathan Mingo
• Xavier Legette

Average Success

• Brandon Lafell (had three 600 yard seasons with Carolina over 4 years here)
• Curtis Samuel (had 2000 yards in receiving over 4 years here)

Standouts

• DJ Moore
• Steve Smith
• Mushin Muhammad

TM Jr will be a Dolphin if cut

I am going with Patriots.

I don't think the success rate for drafted receivers is very high to begin with.  I read an article the other day that said that less than 50% of receivers drafted in the first round ever have even a single 1000 yard season in the NFL.  

If memory serves, we have drafted three receivers in the first round in our history, excluding Leggette.  

1 is a star that we foolishly traded.

1 got off to a good start, but flamed out mentally.

1 is a person whose name should not be mentioned.

Missed him--but I would not put him in the LaFell / Samuel category--but I see both sides of that argument

I think WR and OL need to be on the board every year....yeah, the first rounders are at 33% but as you say, for reasons perhaps unrelated to their football talent.

So you're telling me we hit on a WR once a decade?  One the bright side, we only have a five year window for our next standout WR to emerge!

Gettis could have been a dude if not for that ACL tear. Carter was serviceable for a time but he wasn’t the type of guy who would compete with Steve for touches.

I can only barely see it happening... to the Bills (Joe Brady again).
