Starkiller Posted August 29, 2025 Report Share Posted August 29, 2025 The X WR role is going to be split between Jefferson, Ayomanor, and Oliver. It will be interesting to see how the snaps/targets break down as the season goes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should improve bigly. Supernope 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should improve bigly. Also had a good number of injuries. I wasnt a fan when people were talking about him as a 2nd round pick, way to inconsistent. But as a 4th almost 5th rounder sign me up. He has looked pretty good so far. Hard to really judge till the offense is really out there and not limited to 2-3 series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the physical profile of a slot but he’s basically been a9 route, deep post outside guy his entire career. Though Cam does throw great deep seam routes which could really work if Lockett still has his juice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted August 29, 2025 Report Share Posted August 29, 2025 Locket deep has to be called judiciously, no more than 2-3 times a game, some games not at all, depending on what the defense is doing to cover etc.. maybe he’s in 2 drives, rests for 1 , and back in .. going deep are what Ridley, Jefferson, Ayomanor, Dike , and Oliver are for. He’s changing from a deep play guy to a slot receiver.. think Marvin Harrison type plays Face 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m expecting a lot of vertical routes from Lockett from the slot. I have to say though, I’m still shocked by the burst Van Jefferson showed. He has real juice.

But we have no competent pass rushers. Sorry, I'm not counting on Lockett as anything more than a decent WR3 for maybe a year until he shows me that he isn't washed up. We've seen better and higher profiled receivers come here at 32 and totally fall off a cliff, and saying that, I have even less faith in what Lockett looks like projecting into the 2026 season at 33. Ridley also turns 31 this year with an out in his contract next summer. The fact that these are the names you're bringing to the table to defend the corpse that is this WR core is astonishing. If Edge is priority #1, WR isn't all that far behind. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridley is still in his prime and is a 1200+ receiver if he stays healthy. Behind him is rookies and an aging Lockett. Not great but usable. The same cannot be said for our edge group.

ctm Posted August 30, 2025 Report Share Posted August 30, 2025 There is more NFL experience in the edge group than the WR group. NashvilleNinja, Lantern, and stormi 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.. the goal is to train up the younger guys. So I expect him to be the primary in the slot early and then as the season goes on hopefully someone (Dike? Oliver?) starts to step up and take snaps from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
