And they all made leaps.

Allen is in the Conference Championship
Murray nearly got to the playoffs with the Cardinals, but got hurt in the last game
The Browns won a playoff game.

I repeat

The Browns won a playoff game

And Beckham was hurt. They still had Landry.

Well, if they have any hope of salvaging the passing development of their QB they *Expletive* better.

Oh, don’t get me started on that.

DeSean Jackson (PHI)
Alshon Jeffery (PHI) - post June 1

Love to have Kupp. Dude has the best hands. Still think Miller has something to offer also away from Chi.

Some interesting names in that list. Robert Woods would be great.

Regarding the comp pick formula, I can't see the Ravens doing more than 1-2 moves in FA, say a WR1 and a center. That could very well be offset by Judon, Ngakoue, Skura, Snead...

LOL...unfortunately, you are probably correct.

I don't think A-Rob would come here without a complete blank check, but if that's what it'd take, he's clearly the best option and one of the absolute best WR's out there to probably hit true UFA.

More needs to be done to fix the passing game than signing A-Rob, but I think obviously the window is too short right now to keep hoping Boykin or any of the other young WR's other than Hollywood develop into quality NFL starters.

Yes sir, enough of the 30 plus or third level retreads to fill spots with a "name". Watching Diggs this year cemented this. Hollywood would be more productive, not less. They couldn't focus solely on Hollywood or Andrews and the three of them would do damage.

Hope all is well GOTA

I'm okay my friend. Hope you are as well. Working in the office without ending up with the virus has been challenging but so far so good.

Diggs....ugh! Talk about a missed opportunity. He's the perfect example of what a true #1 WR can do for your QB. Luckily we can correct that mistake by signing Allen Robinson.

In a thread here somewhere Ed or Ann Arbor posted the production of our receivers this year. You’d have to add some of our guys numbers together to equal what one of these top guys expect. These guys don’t “wanna play with Lamar “ cause he’s cool. They def don’t wanna run block all day.

Until this team shows marked improvement in the pass game ...we better keep drafting Wrs in the top 3 rounds of every draft.

Even if Jerry Rice were available Harbaugh would have him blocking down field for 2 yard Ingram runs

THIS!

There will be options that are cuts this year. We may very well be able to get a WR of the caliber of Allen Robinson w/o dinging our comp pick formula.

There’s only 5 names on that list that are even in the same universe as Arob- OBJ, Jones, Thomas, Kupp and maybe Lockett. And none are getting cut, all three have a trade value (value which will be much more than the comp pick) and its also much better for the team trading them from a cap perspective to avoid cutting.

I would love Odell but theres no way Cleveland is trading him to us. I will be shocked if they cut him, if they did he would become my no 1 target in a second
