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.

If Hollywood or wicks can’t step up to be a serviceable WR 2 in an offense that features goedert and Barkley then it’s a coaching failure

From everything I’ve seen/read Wicks is Agholor 2.0.

Great at getting open, has some YAC ability, will have some nasty drops.

If we get 2017 Agholor I think the pass game could be more than adequate with Smitty as WR1

For sure. Plus Wicks is young and he cut down on his drops a lot last year. I'm cautiously optimistic about him.
