But that's not what a "playmaker" will be. If you want to trade for a guy that happens to push the higher guys down the depth chart, I don't even remotely consider that trading for a guy to replace Decker. Trading for a vet to be your WR that you put in on certain packages is dumb. I'm not going to give that idea up. Landry is coming off 100+ rec year and pro bowl appearance. Passing on him bc you don't want to give up a 3rd or bc of an unproven guy like Taylor would be insane. It'd be the very definition of fan bias and over valuing your own players. The only true deterrents would be if he's asking too much for an extension or the trade price goes up.

The only true deterrents would be if he's asking too much for an extension or the trade price goes up. I would think 12 mil a year would be pretty fair for a long term deal considering the current WR market and the top 10 paid guys, etc. He's generally rated as the best slot WR in the league. We paid 10 a year for a top 7 slot corner, so you'd think you would pay 12 for the top slot receiver. Edited February 23, 2018 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Btw, keep an eye on Tavon Austin who will likely be traded or released by the Rams. I haven't followed his career closely of late, so I'm not sure what kind of person he is. I know his production has majorly fallen off. But you'd think he'd be considering an "explosive" addition to the offense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I don't consider that as a replacement for Decker (or Taywan), Landry would instantly be our #1 unless Davis has taken major strides and consistently shows us what he did in NE. He'd easily surpass Rishard on the depth chart in terms of importance to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Davis would be the X. If they kept Matthews he'd probably be the Z. With Landry playing slot in 3 WR sets and outside in 2 receiver sets.

I'd love to be proven wrong early but there's no way at this point anyone can say CD is better than Landry, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Davis isn't significantly better than Landry and doesn't emerge as a star X receiver in the NFL, then it's a wasted 5th overall pick. I think Corey Davis will be better than Landry and can do a lot of things Landry can't. Landry is just way more consistent at this stage obviously.

If they trade for Landry neither of that is a discussion and they just want the entire receiver group to improve and not necessarily an indictment on one vs the other that was being had when I chimed in. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafted1 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Martavius bryant may be on the trade block. Obviously has had a lot of issues but because of that he could come cheap and would provide the speed and deep threat that we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 This isn’t an indictment on Davis/Taylor its about Douglas/Decker being FAs and Weems not a true WR and Matthews in his last year of his contract. We need a new WR and the draft is empty after round 1 i go hard for Watkins/Brown/Robinson in FA or pursue a trade for Landry (who I labeled a target fucking months ago) or at minimum a flier on Martavis Bryant. Thomas and Bryant are rumored to be on trade block as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I wonder if Denver would give us their second rounder and Thomas for our first rounder to move Thomas contract off the books, and move up to the first round while chasing Cousins. I’m sure that’s not near enough but the fact they could move into the first from the second and clear a lot of cap may be enough. Ofcourse there will be teams teams offering a lone pick, but who knows. We would likely have to throw in a future draft as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just spent the 5th overall pick on a WR, and a 3rd rounder. Looking for more receiving help is smart, and in a modern passing offense you need to keep the stables full. But an explosive playmaking WR should not be at the top of the list after the resources put into that group. Mythos27, and OILERMAN 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
