A Crosby AJ swap was loosely rumored before the trade deadline

All for it, especially BEFORE the draft. I said already that AJ would be a nice experienced WR for the QB they are expected to take

Derrick Henry wants AJ in Baltimore. A reunification. Would love to work a deal with them for Isaiah Likely who is sharing time with Andrews at TE. I would prefer the Crosby trade personally. But let Howie do his thing, he gets paid for it, I don't

Losing Stoutland could affect Bectons return, since it was Stout that "resurrected" his career. Losing Stout still makes me mad as hell. BTW I also disagree with Kempski when he says there are alot of good TE/s on this draft. There are not. There are some late role players, but totally ZERO I would spend a 1 pick on, so I don't know what's in his water as he totally ignores the needs on the O line

Likely is a FA, they would have to franchise him then trade him and I wouldn't spend that much money on him.

Welp since there are no TE's worth taking to replace Goedert, what move do you make? What is the cost of NOT having a TE? Even if Goedert is re signed who do we have if he goes down?

So I draft my future. Fill in later like Howie does.

Free agency before the draft we literally always sign free agents for the roster before drafting plus everyone drafts for the future.

My draft is for the future I’m just not prioritizing WR first to me that is on the back burner reinforcements on the OL/DL are why higher priority to me…. And yes I’d take a TE over a WR first as well since they are a huge part of that Shanahan tree that Mannion is coming from just look at Kittle in SF or Kraft in GB

Welp.I don't really like playing "what if" If AJ goes there is zero way to know if Doubs would come here

lol you don’t like what ifs yet your using the what if AJ goes?

As for Doubs your right no guarantee he comes here but free agency again happens over a month before the draft.

Getting Doubs or not getting Doubs wouldn’t alter my draft approach though

As a FA signing I would pay him but not the franchise tag price and trade for him

AJ leaves and your taking a TE over as WR? When there are only role playing TE's in this draft? WOW, ok

It’s your opinion on the TEs guess George Kittle was only a role playing TE as well as a 5th rounder or Kelce as a 3rd, Tucker as a 3rd and so many other guys

Sure "what if" because he could be gone BEFORE the draft. "what if" we keep him and his pass dropping continues? Like I said we differ on what the priorities are. Even WITH AJ our WR is weak. If you don't have a TE,you lose the TE production. If you lose WR1 you lose pretty much both WR's as now Smitty would be double teamed. without any threat from the other side. I was a TE and I should be biased towards them. Wonder why I'm not. Hmmm. First I'm going to wait and see if AJ stays, then I'm going to see if Goedert stays, then I will go from there, but in this draft there are ZERO TE's that will scare anyone. There are however WR's teams would have to account for. Show me a complete TE that is NFL ready in the draft, then maybe I could agree with you. Until they, I cannot

Should we compare top WR's rookie years against TE's? Any Kelces in this draft you can get in round 5? I don't see one in round 1. I can pick out guys that worked out too. I don't really have the time,but I can if you want. Yards and TD's who has the better stats as a rookie a WR or a TE?

Ok don’t agree with me lol you have some obsession with WRs I don’t… to me WR is bottom

Priority this offseason. Just because you don’t like the TEs this year doesn’t mean anything I honestly like quite a few of the guys especially in that late 2nd-3rd round area

No obsession, just a need for a well rounded team, that starts with a QB a RB and WR's on both ends(assuming you have an O line), then I worry about TE and lastly the slot

You’re the one fighting about it lol 😂 because I said I didn’t prioritize WR…. If you want to prioritize WR great I see it different. Not a huge deal to me not like either of us are making the decisions just stating my opinion on how I’d attack the offseason

LOL I said many times before we differ if you'd go back and read my posts. We both want what's best for the team. Let's see what Howie wants to do. It's not up to us and I can agree with that

Agreed(I guess) I just got up and the cobwebs have not cleared yet

I take BPA WR or TE it all depends what's on the board. I don't stretch for a WR just cause AJ left

Howie will move all around, He always does. He always loves a good splash play too. At this point AJ seems to be wanting to stay, but now with the rift, do we want him to?

And this is again where I differ you are neglecting the TE a key component of Mcvay/Shanahan O that Mannion is coming from.

Kraft was the 3rd leading receiver for the packers he only played 8 games this season. Was 2nd for them last season.

Kittle was 3rd for SF last year in 11 games, 1st for them in 2024 with a full season.

Always should be the approach with my mindset that we prioritize the trenches with the top 2 picks though think TE is the strength of the 3rd round

Michael Mayer(TE) from LV. I liked him last year too. Sitting behind Brock Bowers(none of those in this draft) can't be much fun

Howie also is generally very good at going into the draft with no real holes on the roster we tend to sign guys in FA to at least have coverage for all our "weaknesses” obviously could be upgraded but also not glaring holes anymore either.
