I don't think Mooney will break the bank as a FA WR. He's the guy I want the most. Then draft your other outside guy.

A straight-line speed guy like Quez Watkins or throwing a dart at Van Jefferson might not be bad either as a #4/5 type if they are cheap.

The mid tier WR pay hasn't necessarily equalized yet, but man I dunno if that's really a level we wanna get. The last few years those guys just haven't valued out at much.

Hollywood will probably hit the market and end up making.....19 million a year. I dunno.

I like Mooney as a value option FA stab and don't expect them to spend big on a WR in FA. I'm not opposed to bringing back Hardman on a value deal, either. It's going to be available.

In the draft, let's juice it up. Give me a deep threat. Juicy deep speed that can threaten teams down the field.

I kind of like Adonai Mitchell as a guy whose college career has depressed his numbers. I could see him really out-performing his draft slot. I'm not very interested in Legette. I see a lot more Treylon Burks than A.J. Brown there.

I'll also say Ladd McConkey interests me a bit. I'm not sure how well he would separate against sticky man coverage, but he seems fast and shifty and smart, and he displays good hands most of the time. The only excpetion being a funk he hit earlier this year.

Leggette not doing fuck-all his whole college career until year 5 is a huge red flag to me.

McConkey-I think I saw a 4.6 forty time for him? Wha?

I'm kind of on the Worthy train as a guy that a)might be in reach and b)has elite, hot, nasty speed. Gimme some of dat. Even if it's just to run go routes.

Don't try to tell anybody here that. You'll get voted off the island.

Expensive free agents are the answer.

I see the connection to Mooney, like him just fine, he'd be our current #1, but am not overly impressed and would definitely not pay him the quoted $17m.

Regarding more budget friendly WR FAs, how about Gabriel Davis, Rashid Shaheed, or Josh Reynolds?
[Reply]

Is Worthy more Tyreek or Mecole, though?
[Reply]

I'd probably pay Mooney, if we're ditching MVS and his $10m.

and I'd still be drafting a WR in the first two rounds.

Because we really need to grow our own.
[Reply]

I don't know. Nobody does.
[Reply]

I feel like the league made a collective effort to push back on WR contracts after Tyreek and Adams broke the bank, but wonder if anyone else feels the same?
[Reply]

Only reason I ask is that it feels like we always seem to look for the short & fast types, or short w/ high end route running, but in this year's draft it looks like there's a TON of tall WRs with size. This class might produce a few M. Evans, A. Cooper, or K. Allen Types, or maybe a couple of DK Metcalf, T. Mclauren, or D. Samuels'esque WRs.
[Reply]

I think another group of QB's got paid or is about to is all.
[Reply]

Where we will be picking, consider Malik Nabers, LSU :-)
[Reply]

Brian Thomas? 6-4 w/ 918 yards at LSU and 18 yrd avg.

There are a TON of tall WRs in this draft!
