There's No Way Schuster Makes This Team.

Brother your absolutely correct. The 49ers and Steelers are like WR factories . Where we have been WR junkyards last 2 decades. I really, really feel like the curse is lifted.
Look who the Steelers chose in the Third Round a very dangerous player he rose up the charts and checked all the boxes. I think he's going to be a good one too I was a little jealous when they selected him.

The Vikings have been pretty good at drafting wide receivers as well. Randy Moss, Nate Burleson, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison were all drafted in the first few rounds and were all good to great players. They have also found guys like Osborn, Thielen, and Diggs in the mid rounds (or UDFA in Theilen's case). They had two glaring busts in Laquon Treadwell and Troy Williamson but overall their hit rate is pretty good.
 
A year removed from surgery, if Juju shows up to camp as strong as he was when he entered the 2022 season, there's no way he doesn't make the team.

The notion that both of these rookie WR's are going to be great and supplant every other WR is far fetched... rookies fail at a ridiculously high rate.

They both might turn into good players, but that would be the outlier, not the norm based on draft history.

Don't forget the Pack their hit rate is excellent too.

Nice stat line brother. Compared to what he had the last few seasons those guys would be all pros . I hear this draft has a great WR class.

Agreed. Forgot about the Vikings.. they have been great drafting WR'S as well your right. Thanks for reminding me on that.

Rookie WR's who have a knack for attacking the Football and run good routes usually do well in the NFL.

For the resources they dedicate to receiver their return rate is pretty damn high. Jayden Reed was a hit in the second round last year with over 60 catches for almost 800 yards in 8 TDs then they got Dontayvion Wicks in the 5th with another 500+ yards and 4 TDs. Doubs and Watson look like solid receivers from a few years ago then going back a little farther they have hit on guys like Adams, Cobb and Nelson.

Don't forget Greg Jennings the year we selected Chad Jackson can't believe dude Busted.

Juju has a chronic knee issue, and it's arthritic.. he's 28 with the knee of a 68 year old man. He's never going to be what he was in Pittsburgh.. I'd be willing to see how he looks in camp and he will have to compete with younger, more explosive guys.

Baker and Polk.




Juju the little engine that couldn't.

 
That's huge. A yard or even a half yard of separation in the NFL is hard to get. But I have more confidence in baker than juju to get open at this point. Juju is on borrowed time

Usually takes a full year for a player to return from a ligament replacement in a knee... even if they can play. Luckily for Bourne, he got injured really early in the season last year, so he should have faster turnaround time than Juju.

Juju is going to be 28 years old, he's closer to the end than the beginning. We should probably wait to see how healthy he looks before we write him off. After this season he doesn't have much guaranteed money or dead cap left on his deal if he is let go, but they would be eating a lot of money if they cut him this year. Short of trading him, or he is actually crippled as some insist, I don't see it happening.

Yes, I've mentioned that as well. As it's said you don't get healthier as your season goes on. Kb will likely be on PUP to start the season I'd assume. Juju is better off just coming to camp showing the team he's healthy and ready to compete. Juju has had injuries the last few seasons.. didn't he deal with a hamstring issue last season as well?
