You often hear from analyst whenever a QB is drafted that so-and-so elite WR will make their transition easier into the NFL. My question is how many times has a Rookie QB/ Vet WR had the type of success Cam and Smitty have had? I can't think of many rookie QB's that have produced 1000+ yard WRs. I think only within the last decade Cam to Steve Smith and Matt Ryan to Roddy White are the only examples of this. I will give Andy Dalton and A.J. green there credit although Green isn't technically a veteran(plays like one though). Makes the whole "he's only that good because of (elite WR name)" argument people like to use about Cam mute considering it almost never happens. Makes you wonder what the record for Rookie QB/WR yards in a season is if they haven't broken it already.

Cam, Dalton, Ryan, Flacco.

who was flacco's 1000 yard receiver? derrick mason?

seems in our case people are giving more credit to cam, saying he "revitalized 89s career." funny thing is people actually thought steve smith was washed up

only thing wrong w/ Smitty was QBs who literally could throw downfield.....Jake and Clausen. Jake's were all picked and Clausen wouldn't try.

2009-2010 - with Moore. Smitty's production was as healthy as it ever has been.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
