I don't follow college that much, are there some top receivers and TE's we can target?
TE
Dalton Kincaid - Steady - Smooth - Balanced = fast. Plus rec threat. Not twitchy but quick, smart, knows how to use his body and has soft hands.
Sam LaPorta - plus rec/yac threat. Runs WR routes - you can stick him outside, slot. Long way to go as s blocker.
Darnell Washington - freak size and blocker that reminds you of a combos Mercedes Lewis and Gronk at the end of his career.
Brenton Strange - Plus blocker that can make tough rec.
TE class is top heavy and deep. I love Mayer but not at 14.
WR
Nathaniel "Tank" Dell - big-time playmaker. Deep threat - plus tracking, body control and NFL speed/accelerate. Limited route tree but runs vicious routes.
Rashee Rice - big favorite of mine. Love his movements in a short area. Very agile, smooth with good play strength. Plus acceleration gets up to top speed quick. Plus tracking, body control, vision and runs solid routes. 6'2/205 should run a 4.4 flat. Looks like a top 5 WR in this class imo.
Zay Flowers - is someone every team will want. Nice Jordan Addison replacement and probably better value. Instant slot. Sudden, shifty, quick with plus field vision. Quick in n out of his breaks.
Rakim Jarrett - slot with deep threat capabilities similar to Flowers.
The problem is those guys won't get more targets here. Meyers only got >110 targets once. This is a run first team.
yea we would need to throw more which isn't a bad thing if we really want to put up points. We can shift that ratio some and definitely cut down on other "would be" targets imo like Smith or Agholor if both are there. Id much rather give Higgins those extra 25-35 targets.
We would have to make an effort though.
If you were Higgins or Aiyuk, would you want to play for the Patriots?
I get what youre saying but as long as they get a 5/100 - 4/80 type deal. I think they'll be happy. Plus every WR loves being deemed the #1 WR etc.
I've been manifesting this lol. I'm all in at this point. In all seriousness I hope we make it happen bc this offense and Mac need it.
We can fix the line and get a true #1 at the same time imo.
