re: Free Agency news and rumors; tampering period opens March 9 (Etienne -> Saints?)

so what is tate, would he be our z? Isn't vele our z? Isn't Olave our X? Why do i feel like even drafting tate, we're missing a true slot guy still?
Olave took about 40% of his snaps from the slot and Vele took 70% from the slot. Moore moves his receivers around to exploit mismatches and get defenses off balanced. We don’t need a tiny receiver that can only play inside. Payton did it too. He used to love putting Jimmy Graham in the slot.

Man give me some of those short guys with weight on them. I sure miss watching guys like Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles run.
Running backs are different. There isn’t as much of a disadvantage and in some aspects it helps them sneak through the los.

Love would still be the better deal bc he is actually a starting nfl caliber running back Even if we gave CEH the vet minimum that would still be the case

Can't imagine David Bailey falling out of the top 10.
Well he is undersized and a liability in the run game. It works for the saints in a 3-4 but not a fit in a 4-3 unless you can put some weight on him and his speed is his best asset so you don’t want to compromise that. Could be a pass rush specialist and that may be enough but limitations are there. That is why he is kind of all over the place in the drafts early on. He is settling in as a high pick on mocks but we don’t know that stays the course.

At minute 14:10 they start talking about RBs going to teams like the Titans and Daniel Jeremiah talks about how teams need to have infrastructure before picking a RB. I think that’s our problem. We have a good LT, an average RT, the worst guards in the NFL and an injury prone center. Not to mention, only one legit WR threat.
You can fix your oline between free agency and day 2 of the draft. Love helps your offense even with one legit wr threat. We need playmakers and that is what love is. Also our receiver group isn’t great but I think they are going to be better than we are giving them credit for. Vele can play and hoping Polk can breakout under Moore. If not Trey Palmer can produce.

Short arms is a clear disadvantage at the position just as long arms provides a clear competitive advantage. Doesn’t mean he won’t be a good player but will need to overcome the limitation against nfl talent. I have played against defensive ends with super long arms that felt unblockable. It is not the end all be all but it makes a difference in both run and pass game.

5’9 just feels different. A lot of 5’10 and 5’11 guys have produced over the years but most of those 5’9 and under guys that have come through rarely make much of an impact at receiver and just feel so limited due to their small catch radius. Steve Smith and Welker are exceptions. 5’11 is good enough. 5’10 you got to have a little something extra that sets you apart. Accuracy of your qb also plays a big part. Welker had Brady.

Curious what you don’t like about styles? He might be the most impactful and versatile player we can add and would be a perfect fit in the 3-4. Besides lighting the combine on fire and proving he an absolute athletic anomaly, what did you not like? He was super productive in college so he isn’t just a combine guy.
I know you are looking at combine speedy slot receivers and he didn’t light the world on fire but I like Antonio Williams more than all those guys.
re: Carnell Tate listed Shough as a QB he'd want to catch passes from

Higgins was actually my comp for him. Tate’s play style isn’t anything like the other guys you listed. A Higgins-type player isn’t worth the 8th pick, especially in a WR class like this one.
I agree I have been saying that he reminds me of a smaller Tee Higgins. I think Tate will be a very good but not great wide receiver. Nothing wrong with his 40 and it was as expected. Just nothing screams #8 overall pick. There will be much more talented players still on the board. The most talented receiver in the draft by far is Tyson. He has elite traits and superstar potential. His burst and separation skills are incredible. Durability is his biggest concern and is hurting his draft stock.

They need another playmaker on offense. It doesn’t matter where just need one. Love changes this offense. I am intrigued on Jordan Tyson but it is risky and the rest of the wr group doesn’t impress me for a #8 pick. Tyson has the highest ceiling out of all of them but is risky with injury history. Don’t want to reach though. I am fine with taking a top tier defensive difference maker. There is quite a few and one of them will be there. If love is gone it makes it a pretty easy decision for us.

100% agree with the takes here, but to "defend" him a tiny bit that first sack was on the guard knocking the defender off his block allowing a free run to the QB.
Nah that was all Will. Will was already beat and in the qb’s lap. Guard tried to help and will should have recognized that protected the outside with inside help but instead he stopped his feet and end ran around him for the sack.
Tyson has elite separation skills. He would immediately bring our offense to a whole new level. Sign a guard in free agency and if you do somehow keep olave for a few more years then the offense would be unstoppable next season.

Because that only works in a perfect imaginery scenario in peoples heads where Olave is never injured again, plays through his contract, and the #8 pick isn't a bust. The downside of that is completely fricking up your draft and cap for several years while passing on another top player that can help another position. You can't just look at the very best scenario and except that. There's a really terrible outcome that could happen aswell. You are also ignoring the possibility of then taking a WR with that 1st or 2nd that you get for Olave. I'd rather trade Olave and draft a WR at #8 and 2nd rd > draft a WR at #8 and pay Olave.
There is a possibility of a terrible outcome with every pick in the draft. Your real debate is signing olave or not. Drafting a receiver at 8 or not is irrelevant in that regard. Whatever we pick at 8 will be on a rookie deal for 4 years with a 5th year option then you decide what to do at that point with the cap. Here is the thing. You are in an even worse situation if you trade olave and draft a receiver to replace him and you miss (Ex: titans - AJB trade for Burks). At that point, you probably just wasted several years of Shough if that happens. Even if you hit but traded Olave in the process then you haven’t improved your roster and only just maintained. We upgrade the interior line and give Shough an additional playmaker to olave and we are contenders.

If you draft Tyson/ Tate at #8 then you need to trade Olave for the Buff 1st, NYJ 2nd, or NYG 2nd. And then draft another WR in the 3rd or 4th.
Why do we need to do this? The whole point of drafting a receiver would be to get another weapon to pair with olave for Shough. That would kind of defeat the purpose.
I like Tyson over Tate. Tyson is significantly more explosive. Feel he would pair well with olave and have Vele playing his big slot role. That would be a pretty potent receiving core.

Posted by Mpd31 on 12/28/25 at 3:48 pm to 3PieceSpicy
You do something stupid like that and you lose the whole team. Moore has the whole team motivated and buying into him and Shough. You have to keep that momentum going to keep returning players bought in. You should never be ok with losing and that should be the mentality. This isn’t madden. Involves real people with real emotions
re: This may be the strangest team in the NFL
Posted by Mpd31 on 12/28/25 at 3:45 pm to SloppyFrog
I think if you can upgrade interior of the offensive line and get one legit playmaker opposite of olave in offseason then you can probably make a good run next year if you stay healthy. You probably not all the way there yet but would be a really fun season and division is prime for the taken for now.
re: Clock mismanagement
Posted by Mpd31 on 12/28/25 at 3:35 pm to Bristol Tiger
Was legit the right calls in the situation. Just didn’t work out. The first play was super smart to try to flip the field bc the clock was going to stop for 2 minute. Lost 3 yards on the run but made them burn a timeout. On 3rd down he tried to throw for a first down and would have essentially put the game away where you don’t even need to go on defense. I have no issues with any of this. Just didn’t work out. I get running the ball and making them use their last timeout but I actually liked that we tried to win it there instead of going the conservative route. You are also boosting your qb with giving him experience in those situations and also showing that you have confidence in him to take those chances. In actuality, this is also a meaningless game so why the hell not? If you lose they still played great and you get a better draft spot.
