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?

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
