We are the only team in the league whose running back is their leading receiver.

WR is a HUGE need, as well as G, DE, S, DT, TE……..

Loomis has done an absolutely PISS POOR job at roster construction, and he needs to be held accountable.

Biggest needs are a pass rusher, DT and OG.

We need a WR1 for sure. But we have passable WRs in Olave and Shaheed when healthy. Our healthy DE, DT and OG suck.

Not saying WR isn’t a need. Just not our biggest.

Tier 1 Need: DE
Tier 2 Need: LG & DT
Tier 3 Need: WR1
Tier 4 Need: TE, S, LBer

Making my point, who were our number three and four receivers? They should have been putting up numbers.

Talent deficiency at the position.

“Passable” receivers only work if your QB’s name is Brees, Brady, or Mahomes. Carr needs everything perfect around him to succeed. WR is our biggest need

So if we need a WR3 and WR4, that means it isn’t the biggest draft need

LOL... That's how you know your team is in trouble when you can't say.. "Well at least the punter isn't that bad"...

While a true #1 WR would be nice... Olave, Shaheed and VS look like a solid 123 when healthy

And the only reason Kamara is the leading receiver is because he has been relatively healthy while everyone else besides Johnson and Moreau have died

Our starting receivers should be #2 and #3 receivers. Pretty sure everyone here agrees with that after watching Olave the last few years.

MVS would make a good #4

Counting on Olave to be healthy going forward isn't a Zion level gamble but it's getting close. In addition, he's gonna want a contract soon and they better think long and hard about that.

We need that big Arizona wr in the first round. He would fit nicely with our fast, small guys

But you're telling me that an upgrade over Olave and Shaheed is more important than upgrading our nonexistant pass rush?

Olave is not a great #1 but he is servicable when he doesn't have a concussion.

Our DEs are trash.

McMillan is probably going top 5 at this point.

Agreed.

But WR1 is still #4 need in my opinion.

And you trust our front office to fix that hole?

Huge fa contract to Chase = bust
1sr round de in Turner = bust
Fosky, high 2nd round pick = bust

Maybe the 5th time will be the charm.
