It will be similar to 2024

 

what is this fascination with wanting to have a “ name” receiver?

I don't have a fascination with wanting to have a 'name' receiver'.  I don't think anyone on this board does either.  It's a desire to have a much better receiving group than what we have now, especially one with more speed and ability to separate.  If people think the receiving weapons we have now are going to keep defensive coordinators up at night, I don't know what to tell you....

It’s so frustrating the de-emphasis people are placing on at least investing into WR this year. The teams that did better than us last year:

 

Chiefs - 1 first round pick and 2 second round picks on WRs in the last three years. This is in addition to having HoF Kelce on the roster those three years and the greatest play caller in my time watching football.

 

Eagles - AJ Brown ($33 million/year), Devonta Smith ($25 million/year)

 

Bills- 1 WR drafted in the first three rounds (Keon Coleman) since Diggs was acquired (2020, no longer with team). Shakir (15 mil/year), Palmer (12/year), Samuel (8/year).

 

yes our defense needs to be better. Those teams had studs throughout their defense and we should draft DL and CB a lot this year. But the Eagles offensive weapons made life easy for Jalen Hurts to put up points on the Chiefs defense. We need to at least take a shot at one premiere pick going to WR to improve the group’s talent level. To me it’s not more talented than our DLine right now (2 first rounders, 3 other free agents making at least $8mil a year) and I’d really like to give Josh more weapons.

It's not a fascination. You look at all the recent Super Bowl winners. They all had a true number 1 pass catcher. Either a TE or WR. 

 

I on the fence that they can repeat the offense from last year. A lot of things went their way last season. They played a lot of non playoff teams, had insane turnover differential, which isn't something that many teams repeat. 

 

To me it's not about having a true number 1 - though that helps.   I just think about it a little differently.  

 

I want an offense that can threaten every part of the field.  It can run inside and outside.  It can pass inside, outside, short, medium, deep.  I want defenses on their toes - uncertain and unconfident.   That's the ideal.

 

Our biggest shortcoming last season is that we didn't have a potent downfield passing game last season despite having a unicorn QB.  We can and should remedy that.
