We're pretty much on the same page on the offense. And I think we'd have similar overall opinions, just slightly different takes. Hopefully we do get some depth and another decent receiving target, without once again sacrificing resources that are sorely needed by the defense. I just think we're more likely to find a better RB option in the draft and D options in FA, along with heavily investing in D in the draft. We do need some veteran presence basically, we're in a rough spot there. -
I don't think this is fair to Coker or Sanders re: not being trusted. And YAC is not just about the receivers, but scheme and QB play. Young's balls are slow to arrive which makes YAC difficult on longer passes unless coverage is broken, as safeties/DBs in zone can close quickly. And our depth of target is much deeper than the Patriots by scheme. Their top WR yardage wise's average depth of target is 5.8 yards; Thielen's is 11.3... Coker and Legette are both 12+. The Patriots 1 receiver with a depth of target behind 10 yards has basically as many YAC as Legette (2.1 vs 3.3). Our screen game blows, which limits YAC opportunities there, and is more about imo coaching and play calling as our line is talented and our receivers are decent blockers. Despite this, Sanders, Coker have more YAC/R than any of the main TEs/WRs on the Patriots. We have to find ways to get them involved. Long story short: imo a lot of the YAC stuff is not on the WRs, but we have some talent there and need to get those guys more involved.

Are any of the RB prospects known for their pass protection + ability to catch out of the backfield? Make them a north-south bruiser and hell yea use a pick! But I don't think spending an extra $1M - $2M on a 1yr vet rental is that big of a stretch. There are contract reconstructions that will be happening to open up more cap space to where just $2M shouldn't be a backbreaker.
