re: Remaining realistic FAs at positions of need on Day 3

I am just perplexed that people could look at least year's WRs, talk all offseason about how huge a need it is, then say "Nah we are good, maybe a rookie"

We should DEFINITELY address WR early in the draft no matter what, but Rookie WRs are notorious for taking longer than some other positions to contribute.

We should address it with at least one Vet and one rookie.

Competition is good.

I like Brad Chubb & Mike Hilton coming off down years. Chubb would be two years removed from ACL, still only 29. Hilton can fill the slot role

I want one of the vet safeties and a boundary corner

I need a vet WR - Kirk, Hopkins, Mooney, Hollywood brown

And I’m still trying to add a vet OL or two with experience

I didn't mention Chubb because I thought he might get more than we are willing to pay, but yeah he would be a good fit

Same

Idk man, I don’t know if that’s true.

Its true. There are many guys that do contribute day 1. But its a position that in years past has been notorious for a lot of guys taking more than one year for the light to go on.

I just cannot see going into the year with:

Olave - 1 snap away from being in a coma
Vele - did nothing until Shough started then was injured the rest of the year

No one of real note after that. Lots of question marks and guys with unrealized talent.

This was not even a remotely controversial opinion until like two days ago. I feel like I am taking crazy pills here

I think PFF has him at like 2/15? Kind of a chase young deal to try and establish value. Should be ample opportunity and Staley has a track record of producing double digit sack guys

A bosa reunion could work in the same vein

First and second round receivers contribute early all the time though. I’ve heard DT’s take time to develop.

I’d have to look through the ones taken the last few years but I know of a few off the top of my head like Egbuka, Carolina guy, shaheed; etc

Not saying we shouldn’t address it

Having both kamara and Etienne will also help in the passing game

We will draft a WR and added Fant, Etienne, and Polk. That's 4 offensive weapons we didn't have last year.

Improved OL will also give Shough and WR more time to make plays.

I don't see a need to spend any more money on offense unless we are replacing Ruiz.

A few of them are available in FA right now already having been cut

Only WR I've heard this year that's ready now to start for any team and any capacity is Tate. They say he knows the entire route tree and is day one ready. They use to say wait till year three for a reason.
