Didn't mention Mahomes. But Dak isn't the answer. We spent 3 spent first round picks in 5 years on OL who were all in their prime when Dak came into the league. So far we've managed 2 wildcard wins in his 7 years.
Cool story!

let’s go get mahomes, I’m all for it. Let me know when you find one.

To take the next step, I believe we need an alpha WR. Like these guys:
Deandre Hopkins
Odell Beckham
Mike Evans
Beckham is entering his 9th season. Evans and Hopkins, 10th and 11th seasons. Any of them would be stop gaps at this point. Two would require trades and Beckham would basically be a jersey-seller for Jerry.

Let me know when we can field an all-star team around Dak so we can be good enough to get past the divisional round.

I've seen a lot of comments about adding WRs who, IMO, won't make a BIG difference.

Robert Woods
JuJU
Jakobi
Slayton
DJ Chark

These guys are nice players but they aren't the impactful WR1a we need.

To take the next step, I believe we need an alpha WR. Like these guys:
Deandre Hopkins
Odell Beckham
Mike Evans

CeeDee is developing nicely and this isn't a reflection on him.

But you can see it... you need an AJ Brown AND Devonta Smith. A Jamar Chase AND Tee Higgins.

I think Odell is our best chance at one of these guys. (fingers crossed)
This draft is thin on outside WRs, but rich in slot WRs. I expect we grab one of the latter.

I'd be ok with Beckham on a short-term $5-8 mil per year contract but that's not gonna happen.

Yeah, I know Jerry is incompetent.
So we’re basically stuck hoping Jerry gets lucky one year and goes all in or we someday win the lottery and get the next mahomes.

I have doubts even mahomes could win here.

I've been waiting for the lucky year where the stars align once and we make the big run in the playoffs, but that hasn't happened and likely won't with Jerry around and maybe not with Stephen.

It's amazing how a team like the Giants never got close, but twice they went from the wildcard to winning the Super Bowl by playing lights out in the postseason. But we can only win a few wildcard games.

Do we need to fix the run game or get more ‘name’ receivers?

I want the ball in Daks hands less, not more.

Also they need to be careful who they bring in before Lamb is locked up. If you bring in a big time guy right now, how do you carry that, plus Gallup, plus re-sign Lamb?

Gotta think beyond the coming season.


Amen

Yep, let’s waste another year on #3 Gallup and maybe draft another WR who won’t contribute right away.
We are desperate for a #2, and we should get one in FA. TY, Tolbert, Gallup, let them fill out the bottom
What free agent do you want?

They'll sign some formerly undrafted veteran to a ridiculous contract and draft a WR in the 5th round........done.

l

That first list are Jags and will probably be over priced. They are Gallup types Gallup will probably be better this year than he was last year. Now if your talking about a #3 guy? Maybe, but would have to be reasonable price.

Who said you need a Chase/Higgins? Thats ridiculous.

We had Lamb/Cooper and what did that do for us?


WE NEED A GREAT OLINE!!

That will make the rest of our offense work like a well oiled machine. All the weapons in the world dont matter unless you can give your QB time to throw and your backs holes to run.
We had the best OL in the NFL for a lot of years. What did that accomplish?

One thing we might want to consider is which of the WR’s (free agents, draft, trades) would be the best fits in a West Coast style offense. McCarthy is a WC guy.

Just food for thought.
