I was under the impression we wanted an experienced DT for our rotation. I think getting a good CB as insurance for McCoy would be prudent. I feel like our Safety room almost always gets bit by the injury bug, so getting another safety as insurance would be nice. JMO, but it's easier to go young on offense than it is defense when your HC is an offensive guru.

I’d take a very good starting safety if available not an insurance take. That’s unlikely.

Jayden Thomas from Notre Dame. Not a ton of production, but Nakos came out on Twitter saying he has SEC interest. He couldn’t be one of the possible WR targets could he?

Fast is very overrated. Tyreek Hill is super fast. But would you take him over Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin?

Fwiw, Hill has more catches and TDs and almost as many yards in 18 fewer games than Irvin.

I would take hill over Michael Irvin. That may just be because I’m younger though

I'm older (45) and I'd take Hill over Irvin.

Puka Nacua or Fred Biletnikoff?

Why? Irvin was more physical, a better route runner and the overall better WR.

Hill also plays in a much easier era that emphasizes the pass more. DBs could kill WRs in Irvin’s day. You can barely touch WRs now.

Different game now, Irvin played when offense was run dominated.

From Georgia…very possible he wants to come south and get closer to home

I’ve got nothing, haven’t asked. When it gets to this stage I try to just let it play out and don’t prod.

GBO

Volnation says prod darn it

You made the comparison. We can debate the differences in the game all day, but calling speed overrated and using Hill as the example was a poor choice. Someone like Derrius Heyward-Bey or John Ross would have been better examples to make your point because they weren't also good WRs. Hill is both fast and a great WR who uses his speed to get open and outrun opponents despite being 5-10 (maybe).

At RB I THINK we are gonna wait and see what Spring window brings.

1 OL and 1 WR SHOULD happen by the end of next week.

Hope the waiting strategy pays off.

One nearly down one to sort out it seems

Could you win us a Porsche to land Tate?

You only have so many spots. Who are you cutting so you can add? You won’t get a good walk-on out of the portal.

Hey yo!

Need WR, engage @Ericvol2096

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Never doubt @Ericvol2096

Doesn’t Pendleton have a no contact clause? If so, I think that’s good news for us.

I have a few ideas. Will not surprise me in the least to see a few more players hit the portal after Spring.
