Do we really need a #1 WR in the portal?

I actually would rather conserve our resources and use that money on one starting OL and a S. Of course DL is always great to add to but I feel good about our DL next year with Guillory coming back and the way McKinley played last night. Reliford and Womack will have a chance to be our DE but you still take a DL that can rotate in. I like our pass catching group, especially if Mason Taylor comes back. Keep Green an WR as the big target outside with Taylor and Pimpton at TE. CJ Daniels in the slot and Chris Hilton could be your deep threat. We saw his talent when now that he’s shaking the rust off. We get Kyle Parker coming back healthy who is going to get playing time also. I wouldn’t sneeze at adding a big play WR, i’m just saying if there are good players on the defensive side of the ball or OL I would make that the priority.

Do we NEED one...debatable

Do we WANT one...without question!

Think about all the great QB's of the last 20 yrs around here. They all had multiple great WR's around them that have gone on to be great in the league.

Any time you can bring in a game-changing skill player, you do it without hesitatation!

CJ Daniels sure looks the part. I just question if someone better than him will hit the portal. I’m guessing Shelton Sampson leaves this offseason but we have some promising young players at the position.

If we do not get better on the line of scrimmage nothing else will matter

If there’s one in the portal they definitely need to look into it

Daniels

Hilton
Thomas
Parker


Now imagine adding a proven wr1 to replace Lacy

I doubt you get a true #1 receiver in the portal, Daniels will likely be that guy if he returns.

We need one. We need an edge. We need a tackle. We need two safeties. We need an iol.

Get these 6 at the price and go from there. Don’t Mickey Loomis this thing and try to outsmart it.

I seem to think differently on this than most of you.

I think we have plenty of talent at WR if used correctly.

If anything, we could use a more consistent deep threat in the event Hilton can’t stay healthy again.

But other than that, we’ve got plenty of talent. I still think Watkins in the slot and leaning on Pimpton / Green in the passing game more will do wonders.

Perkins should be fast enough for that.

If a proven WR1 enters the portal, there are going to be some programs who need him a lot more than us and thus, will pay him more.

Anderson is already #1. Need someone to replace Lacy. Need Pimpton and Green to develop. Parker needs to step up.

A real life center would benefit us 20009% more than a wr1.

You need the best possible guy at every possible spot on the field. Accumulate as much talent as you can and let it sort itself out
