Not saying much for the Jet WRs. Not like Zach and Davis were destroying defenses. Lose with Davis or without him.
While to me Davis is a #3 receiver, he is at least NFL quality receiver. Moore is a good #2. Mims unfortunately is not playing like NFL receiver, and Cole is not much better. Both should have had catches yesterday they dropped plus failed to get open on man to man. We need more depth at the position and we need a #1 guy. With Moore and Davis injured, Zach has no chance, and even with these guys we need an upgrade.
I'd rather have a group of good guys then 1 guy. plus I think moore has WR1 potential and to me davis is an above average WR2 and crowder is a great WR3. cole is solid as a 4 as is berrios as a 5. We have a good group but any team without their top 2 WRs and starting their 3rd and 5 OTs is gonna struggle on offense
I am OK with these guys, if we add another big #1 target. Someone like Allen Robinson. We need a big go to guy. Davis just has too many drops and causes too many TOs to be a #2 in my book. Now with Robinson, Moore, Davis, Crowder, we can go out there and compete.
We’ll I agree we need a real stud receiver, but I also feel like we have SO many other needs as well…I still think we need OL help, plus edge rusher, LB help, safety help since it’s pretty clear that JD won’t be resigning Maye…I like Hall at CB and Echols has shown promise too…which is great to say we have starting corners…could still use a real top CB anyway. We need TE like nobody’s business. so many needs…I think WR is one of our stronger units. but I do think we need to get help for Zach…if only to take away the damn excuses of having no one to throw to
The dolphins were without their #1 and #2 receivers yesterday as well. In fact, they have been without their #1 for the almost the entire season.
waddle is their 1 and has been all year. they were missing him yesterday but that was his 1st missed game. parker is their 2 and he played. fuller is like their WR3/4 at best
The last thing Allen Robinson wants to do is play with another QB he needs to help along. He’s been unhappy in Chicago for years but it’s his own fault for opting for money over career outlook. I don’t want these free agent mercenaries at receiver anymore. Receivers are so valuable that teams don’t let the good ones hit FA. Can you name any free agent receiver that’s been just phenomenal longer than a year over the past decade?
I am OK to trade a high draft pick for one too, like Buffalo or Arizona did. Robinson is in a unique situation where he played out the franchise tag, and now the price of the tag will git higher, so Chicago might not use. I think we have to invest into a proven #1 even if it takes trading a high draft pick to get one.
Like who though? Give me an example. Diggs was available because he hated Kirk and forced his way out. Houston made a once in a lifetime bad deal but he’s also been hurt all year in year two. Davante Adams will be available but I think there’s a chance Rodgers stays in GB and he does as well. I also think a lot of top level talent receivers have learned a bit from the path Allen Robinson took. If you take the money and run on contract #2 regardless of situation, you might be making veteran minimum by contract #3. Receivers are also similar to running backs in that when their talent falls off, it completely falls off a cliff and then they’re out of the league. It does vary player to player though unlike backs. It can hit anywhere in the 28-31 age range.
As much as I want to upgrade the receiving corps, I agree that going the FA route for a #1 type WR is a fool's errand. Maybe JD can snag another #2 or a #3 who can grow into a #2, but it'll take too much capital to get a #1, and like you said, they often drop off rapidly in their second contract. Given that I think there are bigger issues like OL, Edge, LB, Safety, I don't see JD using a high pick on a receiver, although I wouldn't be upset if he did. But if he's going to get a #1 type receiver, it'll be in the draft.
This is another good receiver class with a lot of top end talent and a diverse range of talent. There’s big fast play makers and shorter quick chain movers, all of whom have a lot of talent. It is easily a perfect year to trade down. I wouldn’t even be upset if we moved down from our top slotted Jets pick if Hutch and Thibs are gone which they should be. Receiver is one of our biggest needs IMO. We have Moore and Davis returning from season ending injury and that’s it.
I'm torn on whether WR should be addressed in the 2022 draft. Yes, the group could use another playmaker, but could retaining Crowder and getting a TE while fixing the defensive holes be a better use of draft capital next year? A Boutte, Jarrett, or Smith-Njiba can be had in the 2023 draft. It seems like there are WR's to pick from in every draft recently.
Again, good point. A great #1 WR can mask a lot of other problems and so in that light, maybe that is the best use for the top pick.
Actually. Am fine giving Adams the bank. He is game changer. Would be good for Zach, he is always open. Otherwise high round pick would be a a good investment as long as JD doesn’t reach. Moore with a true # 1 would be great for years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sad part is that you can say a high round pick on just about ANY position (other than DT) would be reasonable… We STILL need OL help We need WR and TE help We need edge help for sure We need Lb help We need DB help
Trading for, or even signing, a pricey star receiver is usually the last step in a rebuild. Doing it now would be foolish.
Robinson WAS the example. I am not sure who else might be out there or who is FA, but I remember Robinson since he was tweeting a lot about being on the Jets and then signed 1 year tag, meaning he could be free this year.
