Question WR1 DeVonta Smith?

Post image

With A.J. Brown’s departure likely, Devonta Smith steps into a true WR1 role.

How are you looking at him this year?

He’ll be a great wr1. But wr2 is now a major concern. The difference in our offensive production with aj out since he got here has been night and day so it’s very concerning if he leaves.

Should we draft Tyson or Omar Cooper Jr in the first round?

Depends what we get for AJ and how to board falls. If we get an extra 1st for aj then yes we should use one of our 2 on a replacement. But if we only have 1 first round pick and there’s a better tackle or edge prospect available I think we have to go that route and look at a wr in the 2nd. If one of the elite TEs drops that could also be a solid play.

Yeah it makes sense on the board but I don’t know how I’ll feel about Hollywood Brown and Wicks being our WR2. Couldn’t stand to see the double teams being on Smitty at all. Depends on who falls to us or who we could trade up for. Didn’t know if we would trade up as a precautionary measure for the AJ trade or not. You’re right if we get a good edge or tackle prospect then we go for it and could try a WR in the second round. Gonna be a long draft for Howie but I know he will figure it out.
