We have one weapon on the entire offense. You are suggesting keeping it that way?WR is an overrated need for this team.
CeeDee locked in as number 1.
Yes we don’t have a proven number 2, but we have 4 other guys making the roster: Tolbert, Turpin, Mingo, Flournoy. We technically used our 4th for Mingo who should be number two territory at this point in his career.
Now, one of these guys can develop into the number 2 (not Turpin who is a dangerous weapon). I can see Tolbert, Mingo and/or Flournoy taking a big leap this year. But we already have 5 guys at WR the team wants to give snaps to. The team def views WR as a high need per the 30 visits, but this doesn’t sit right with me given the above. Plus I left off Jalen Brooks bc he’s been atrocious IMO.
To me, CB is the most pressing need on this roster and leads me to question why Jahdae Barron isn’t a bigger rumor for us at 12 than someone like Golden. Barron would be able to own the slot and play outside if needed + adding another playmaker to our defense which was abysmal last season. How can we trust Bland/Diggs to be healthy? At this point it’s more likely one will be injured.
Trenches is always a need so there’s also that angle.
Finally, an elite TE like Warren might make even more sense than a WR in how it could help the run & pass O.
Am I tripping, or is WR an overrated need and we’d be just as good or better off going trenches, DB, or TE?
God forbid Lamb goes down.
