17 hours ago17 hr What could Steele have done to make the team? He must feel like he didn’t even get evaluated for a try out. 😆 Like huh?

17 hours ago17 hr 4 hours ago, Sack that QB said:Certainly possible. I didn’t love this WR class though I did like Bell a lot and I did like Concepcion. But the Eagles don’t evaluate WR all that well. I think those people who said AJ Brown is addition by subtraction are going to be in for a rude awakening this season. I think the WRs are gonna be pretty rough outside of Devonta and I haven’t felt good about the offense all offseason and nothing I’ve seen or heard so far has changed my mind about it.This is exactly where I am with the WR's outside of Devonta....I have been trying to be optemistic about it but ummm.....I am just not.....

If your backup is going to suck, they at least need to be a crappy mold of your starter. The whole offense needs to change if McKee goes in.That was my question about McKee. Any sort of dual threat he is not.

I don’t think he’s a great fit as an outside WR in other systems.He will be in the slot or play the Z in condensed sets as well as be used as the motion man. A lot of other offenses don’t rely condensed sets and motion. Lemon would have been a brutal fit in last year’s O.That is why I said he is a Mannion pick. I believe Mannion pushed Howie to make the pick. Nobody will dictate to Howie who to pick, but Howie wanted to give his new OC the tools he needed. Good bad or indifferent, Howie owns the pick.

I think he’d have been a fantastic fit.

Analysts note that many occurred on inside-breaking routes where he anticipated hits from linebackers or safeties, rather than routine uncontested open-field drops. [1, 2]OTA and Practice Reports: Early reports of drops during Cleveland Browns offseason workouts amplified fan concerns, though team reporters and general manager Andrew Berry have downplayed the issue as standard rookie adjustment and minor concentration lapses. [1, 2]Former USC wide receiver Makai Lemon had only 3 to 4 drops during his entire college career, giving him an elite drop rate of roughly 1.6% to 2.8% across 137 total receptions.

[1, 2]Yeah, he does drop some passes. I believe he can fix it, since a lot of them were simple concentration drops.

Then you would have Wicks and Concepcion dropping too many passes. If Lemon is an ace at the slot, then I am good. Dominating the middle of the field is big in this offense.

Do you believe it’s easier to improve your hands or to win outside against corners when you don’t have as much room for two-way routes to help you out?

I have PTSD with that problem on the outside. And Agholor. Don't think having to fix Wicks & Concepcion at the same time is a good idea.

He’s had zero NFL opportunities yet.

Why does everyone want to get rid of a really good punt returner, especially when we don't have anyone else who can do the job at an acceptable level (other than perhaps DeJean and Devonta)?
