Donte Moncrief signed

They needed a speed WR and he fits the need.

He should be a good complement to Juju.
 
I'm good with this as a part of rebuilding WR. Corps. Obviously AB is the star but DHB and Justin whatever his name was are both gone. So you got Washington year two, Moncrief and you should still go high on a draft pick. Throw it in a blender and try to find a number two receiver for Juju. I'm ok with Moncreif competing for the spot. Just not expected to take the spot.

I think he will initially be on the field. Whatever rookie they draft will be worked in....
 
I remember Moncrief being talked about in his draft year.
TMC was high on him, as were others, coming out of college.
His time in Indy shows promise but is ultimately incomplete due to injuries both he and Luck suffered.
I don't count the Jaguars as they never had a QB ( other than the playoffs against us when the ghost of Montana inhabited Bortles for the day ).
If he can stay healthy, I think he'll be an awesome sidekick/complement to JuJu.

Can we afford to still sign Tate, too?
( giggle giggle )
 
I was pleasantly surprised this am because I had 0 clue this guy was available. Great job! 48/668 3tds and (basically) 14 YPC. W/Ben, that has a great chance to be 75/1000 6tds. I'll take that because it takes a lot of pressure off JuJu. Of course, it doesn't account for Washington's growth which if he improves, then his #'s may not be that projection, but makes for a nice set of WRs.

Tate might be a good slot option. If no other WR I might even draft 2. 1 early. One mid to late.

That's JuJu's job. But he'll be a nice complement, along with Washington hopefully continuing his late season improvement.

I am thinking more of a team effort to replace that type of production. Juju is good but good enough to demand constant double teams? not so sure...............

I think teams not doubling Juju will do so at their own peril.

The guy has shown the ability to destroy single coverage.

I'm not really even that concerned about his ability to become a legit number one. It's finding another receiver to take pressure off of him.
 
The thing that's going to make or break this WR group is the progress of Washington. The guys that cover the team all raved about how good he was during mini camp and training camp, he just needs to take that to game day.
 
now add cobb and ur 5 wide set is
juju
moncrief
washington
McDonald
samuals

I would still get cobb to replace rogers

Tate has narrowed his choices down to the Patriots and Steelers.

Hmmmm....This needs to get done, but not certain now with the Pats in the picture. They have a bigger need
 
It would be HUGE to get Tate as well. I don't think Eli has any bearing on it. As pissed as I've been with how the team has handled much of this offseason, I gotta say I really like the signings so far, and adding Tate would make me feel much better. What about taking a flyer on TE Jeff Hauerman from Denver?

My thinking. I just dont think someone like Moncrief is the answer for that.

If anything, he adds the speed they're lacking. He was a pretty good vertical threat when he played with Luck.

He'll also gives them insurance in the event Washington does not develop, though Washington made a lot of progress toward the end of the season.
 
Watching those highlights, 90% of those balls were from Luck. Quite a few fades / contested catches too. I think Ben will like.

I remember when I actually did pay attention to the draft and players I really liked this guy. Not that that means anything, but this could potentially be a great pick-up. We need that vertical threat.

Is he much different from Martavis Bryant is my question? If not, and he doesn't have the off-the-field issues, sign me up.
 
I agree. This let's us use our first round pick with maybe a third and fourth thrown in to move up the board to get Josh Allen. If he falls to Tampa Bay, I can see this happening. Then use second round pick on a wide receiver. This is a deep wide receiver draft. My favorite is Parris Campbell from Ohio State. Receivers rated ahead of him were far less productive in college and he runs a 4.31.

It would cost more than that to get Allen.

I had a 2nd round grade on him. I’m not sure if he’s the vertical threat we need.

This brings me back to Washington who’s not a deep threat and had an underwhelming rookie season.
