TT Cannot Sleep On The Offense!

Herbert deserves better weapons.

Now is the time for Herbert to chew bubblegum and kick ass.

This O is one player (Ek, MWill, Allen) away from being, well, not ho-hum, not with Herbert, but not top of the AFC. We’ve seen that. Another x-factor weapon, WR, RB, just gotta have it. 17 games plus the post season, that’s just too long for some of these guys not to miss some time. Keep drafting weapons.

Agree with you. We badly need that weapon. Everett is one. I believe he’s an upgrade over Cook and has good running ability and I hope they use him wide and in the backfield as well as TE. But we need more

RB2 and another WR...

Dare I say Jameson Williams in the first and our RB2 in the 3rd?

I'd be cool with it...

As they are needs and likely BPA, I would too.

would be shocked if Jameson Williams fell to pick #17!

[blueman]

I’ve seen him mocked in the late 20s, who knows?

I wouldn't. We need more defense and more help on the OL. We can win with the WRs we have; and we could/should sign a FA running back, IMO. If we go WR/RB I'd be pissed.

:freakout:

Nightmare scenario... We lose KA or MW to injury, do you think Palmer and Guyton are playoff caliber WR's? I sure as hell don't... At least not by themselves. I'm not advocating for a WR in the 1st but if Jameson falls to 17, that would be a tough choice to pass for a 2nd or 3rd ranked OT or defensive player.

[Maniaque 6]

I don't think it would be a nightmare.
Guyton as #2 and Palmer #3 for a short time.
Then, you will know if you keep these WRs for 2023.
Guyton played a great game in week 18.

You never know about injuries. What if we lose - God forbid - Herbert! You can take the injury thing to any extreme scenario, but you can't have a just-as-good-as-the-starter backup at every position. And I'm not so sure it's a good idea to draft a guy - in the first round - as injury protection.

I guess my major point about drafting WR in the 1st round, injury potential aside, is that there are only so many footballs to go around in the course of a game, or a season. If KA is going to get around 100 catches again; MW another 75; Ekeler 70; another 40-50 for Everett; Palmer 40; Guyton 30. The other TEs and RBs another 30. That's roughly 400 receptions from the guys already on the roster. Herbert had 443 completions last season, a number that I hope goes down a bit because we're a bit more balanced with the running game. So my question is: Do you use your First Round selection on a guy who is going to touch the ball 2x/game?

To be fair, I know nothing about Jameson. Is he "all that"? Is he another Justin Jefferson? Are you drafting him to replace KA next season? If that's the plan, and the FO thinks it can get away with drafting Trey Pipkins types (Pipkins was a 3rd-rounder, I believe) - or worse - to shore up the OL, then taking a can't-miss WR is probably a good move, based on that strategy. But then the question becomes: It is a good strategy? I'm not so sure.

Not great enough.
