njbuff Posted Wednesday at 03:23 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:23 PM (edited) Do you think adding Adam Thielen would be a good move and would you wanna see Beane acquire him before the deadline? Thielen is 34 years old, but seems to still have a lot left and maybe Allen can use a dependable vet WR, especially since Samuel might not be 100%. Thoughts?

Kirby Jackson Posted Wednesday at 03:28 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:28 PM (edited) I’ve been of the belief that the depth is fine. It’s the top of the depth chart that has a glaring hole. Thielen isn’t bad. He’s another guy that can come in and be reliable. I actually prefer Diontae Johnson if we are pulling from Carolina. He isn’t the number 1 that we need but is closer to that IMO. He’s a UFA after this year and could be dirt cheap to acquire. You may get him for a late round pick swap as the deadline approaches. Maybe he’s just a rental but who cares if that is the price.

Don't know he brings anything to the WR room we don't already have. If we made a move for a WR, I think I would prefer someone who can push MVS for deep ball snaps as I still don't trust MVS hands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted Wednesday at 03:59 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:59 PM Agree that our depth is solid. We need an elite #1 next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s been his reputation. He has had years of 88, 86 and 107 receptions. He’s not perfect but could help this team.

zow2 Posted Wednesday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:19 PM The jury is still out for me. I need to see one of these games where Josh has to chuck the ball around. We know Shakir is the man, but if we see Samuel, Keon, Hollins, MVS...getting targeted and making plays we should be fine. If some are not getting targeted, to me it means they are not really getting open and making themselves a viable option. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted Wednesday at 04:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:21 PM Give it a few games, it’s definitely a possibility. I’m not really sold on Hollins and MVS. In tougher games we’ll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted Wednesday at 04:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:51 PM If we are going to get a WR before the deadline it should be a game changing WR, not someone to be in the mix with what we already have. Get Adams, Kupp, Evans... Someone like that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted Thursday at 12:52 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:52 AM No. If we were in need of a #3/#4 veteran leader/receiver and this was the missing piece, then, yes. But, that is not the team's situation right now. Now, if he has a brother that is both an all pro level middle linebacker and safety, then let's go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Boy Posted Thursday at 02:21 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:21 AM (edited) Thielen had 103 receptions for 1014 yards from Bryce Young last year. I agree that he’s not a game changer but the dude is 💰 like Beasely was. He will do nothing but find holes in the zone and catch everything thrown his way. And, his attitude is absolutely “ Process guy” compatible. For a seventh rounder I take that deal in a heartbeat.

In tougher games we’ll see I gotta imagine Curtis Samuel will emerge as our WR2 after Shakir. Coleman will slowly be developed. Have no clue how consistent or productive Hollins/MVS will be? We'll be drafting more wrs this April. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
