****Our Wide Receivers Suck- Official Thread****

[Sofa King]

They can’t get open, they drop passes in their hands, their jet sweeps are slow and terrible. These guys are not good.

[Otter]

I'll give it until week 5 before I have a real opinion besides Toney will be injured.


Guy is working the system.

James + 2nd for M. Evans?
+
CEH + 3rd + 3rd for J. Taylor?

ESPN TRADE SUGGESTION:

Spoiler!

Indianapolis gets: 2024 third-round pick, 2025 third-round pick, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Kansas City gets: Taylor

Inside the offer: Cleveland and Miami are sensible choices here, but both are low on future draft capital because of previous trades, making it harder to part with premium picks required to secure a player of Taylor's caliber. In this scenario, the Chiefs swoop in and get creative. Sure, I hear you, Andy Reid-doesn't-run-the-ball truthers. But this might be the year to tinker a bit.

Kansas City's receiving core is largely unproven, and tight end Travis Kelce was banged up to begin the season. The acquisition of Taylor could alleviate pressure. Meanwhile, Indy would stockpile midround picks while adding a change-of-pace back to help rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson. Edwards-Helaire is a free agent in 2024 and could be a stopgap option for the Colts.

Working out a contract extension for Taylor could be arduous. The Chiefs -- who have played a hard line with defensive lineman Chris Jones and others recently -- might prefer Taylor as a short-term option they can franchise tag or let walk in free agency for a compensatory pick. They might prefer to offer four or five years on a extension for cap purposes, which could be a non-starter for Taylor, who likely wants to cash in on a shorter deal with more guaranteed money.

Ya gotta stop. There's not going to be some in season trade.

I think they were well on their way to a 30 plus point output. Pat probably puts up 370 and 3 Tds if not for the turnovers.

I'm taking it as a given we would have scored 24 regardless if we didn't kneel at the end of the game.

I 95% agree with you, but speculating on potential team advancements is what armchair GM fans do

REPS is what will advance the team.

Unfortunately, it just is what it is. These are young guys that may be awesome, may suck, or be somewhere in between. But at this point, just progressing and giving them reps is what needs to happen. I mean, look what happened on the defensive side of the ball last year. We rolled with three rookie corners who took their lumps. But come playoff time, they were nails. Hopefully that’s what we get with these receivers.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, similar to last seasons Toney trade, that they make some kind of move.

Which first round pick that has a couple years left on a contract is struggling?

Would you sent a 2nd round pick to the Falcons for Kyle Pitts?

No way the Falcons would do that would they?

I doubt it, but they should, considering they're going to be a run first offense for as long as Smith is there.

If they aren't going to use him, that 2nd round pick could get them an awfully nice OG to continue to pound Bijan up the middle.

The issue being that I think they could get a 2nd from just about anyone so why would they take ours? We'd probably need to throw something like a 4th in there as well.

I'd absolutely stay in their ears on Pitts and London. They don't seem to know what to do with either guy and the league hasn't decided they suck yet, as will often happen with guys who are still struggling to produce in their 2nd or 3rd years in the league.

They're one more unproductive season from Pitts away from trading him for a 3rd day pick. Surely they realize that.

I would imagine they're gonna be decent enough that they won't make trades this year, but I'd be after either of those dudes.

Hell.....you want our 2nd and 4th I'd do that easily for Pitts.

Chase Young is also kicking major ass this year.....woulda liked to have gotten on that one early.
