XL can’t catch.

i meant to quote @CamWhoaaCam

Not with a Top 5 pick, and if we trade down, it's for an edge rusher that makes sense in that 10-12 range as opposed to the Top 5.

Like the player, just don't like how he aligns with our draft position

There are more than a few scouts that think he's the best receiver in the draft.

There's no good answer here

I've said numerous times I'm not touching Hunter even if he's there, and Burden is the next up in the draft, but he's a slot WR and not worth a Top 5 pick anyways, no way I'm taking him there (and if I'm trading back, I'm not doing it to take a WR, it's to get additional draft picks and taking an edge rusher at a draft slot that makes sense for the prospect).

Not a fan of taking ANOTHER 2nd round WR and hoping they pan out, I'd say to target someone like a DK Metcalf who the Seahawks might not want to give a new contract to, but not like we have the right assets to even make a serious offer as there is no way in hell I'm giving up future 1st round picks.

Overpay for Higgins?  Even though I really don't want to use our cap room on offense.

Go another year without a true #1?

That feels like the final answer unfortunately 

Metcalf sounds good, but we likely have to trade a future 1st. Not sure I would trade that kind of pick for a guy also looking to get paid.

 

Higgins might be the call if you don't think there isn't a true #1 WR in the draft besides Tmac.

Please don't get him started. He loves Tmac there is no debating him on that lol

I know I saw some say that in the offseason, not sure I've seen any rank him over either T-Mac or Hunter as of late (and I may be wrong, not like I've seen all the rankings).

But either way, it's the same argument that I've been making for why T-Mac makes so much sense for us, but in reverse for Burden.

We need an outside #1 WAY more than another slot dominant WR, and you can find the smaller quick twitch slot WRs in the middle rounds and in FA.  We have so many holes, I can't see over drafting a slot WR when we have so many other holes.

More of a Debo type than a true #1 that can be relied on in crunch time. At least for now.

What do you think the asking price for Higgins is gonna be? I'm thinking 30 million is the starting number for him and there will be a lot of suitors for him so the final number being somewhere around that or a little more.

Higgins can’t stay healthy. 7 hammy injuries since coming into the league

I mean, I want to be encouraged that XL will get better because we invested a first round pick in him, but I need him to give me something to work with

30 mil sounds about right. Anything over we obviously have to walk away from that. Can't have a WR making 40mil and he's not even a true #1 if we being honest.

Yeah that's my main concern with him but WR's of that caliber and age don't hit free agency often. They are drafted high and paid or are traded for premium picks.

I think I would if they’d take our 2026 instead of 2025th. Or if they’d send a second and third back for DK and this years first (unless we end up top 5)

They sure loved him just a little while ago.

But hey, things change fast on the Huddle.

I didn’t. He has been having stone hands problems all season. It has just been coming to a head recently.

Thing is he would have been there in the second where we were but for some reason getting that 5th year options was really important to Morgan. 
XL is a second round WR. We just moved up and drafted him in the first.
