Is it just me or does Boykin look awfully slow running with the ball? The highlights I was watching he got caught numerous times and just looked like he was running in sand. I think I’ll pass on that. [Reply]

I'd rather have, a 1,2,2,3, than a 1,2,3,4! [Reply]
They're gonna have to take a WR somewhere. Look at the roster and what could be coming up in the next year or so. Watkins and Hill could be gone, Robinson etc. [Reply]

I never thought I would be ok with drafting offense in the 1st round, but I've changed my mind. I would actually like to see us trade up to get in position to grab Hockenson.
-He's virtually guaranteed to be a high level (pro-bowl caliber) player by year 2-3.
-He's physically and mentally ready to play a fair amount year 1 (not always the case with some rookies).
-Hockenson is better in both the run game AND as a pass catching option than WR3 is most likely.
-You're going to have to get Kelce's replacement eventually (next 1-2 years).
-It would allow us to play a lot of 2 TE sets, but not give up explosive plays in the passing game.
-Defenses would still have to stay in Nickel/Dime to handle us even with 2 TE's, which would allow us to work some more run plays against smaller D sets (mismatch advantage: KC).
-Would be insurance for the Hill situation [Reply]

At the very least, even if Hill gets no charges pressed, there is real doubt now that he's a ticking time-bomb. You need to have a plan 'b'. Just in case.
Watkins is great, but becomes super expensive and is hurt a lot.
D-Rob is probably a #3. Solid, nice player, but not enough.
We need a replacement for either Hill/Watkins; and it's possible that we go stretches without either.
you could make an argument that the 'floor' at the WR position is lower than any other position group on the team at the moment. Ceiling is second only to QB, but man; if Hill's in jail or suspended we're a Watkins injury away from D-Rob, Pringle, and Dieter. [Reply]
