Cee dee lamb it's a kind of player we need, a faster DeAndre Hopkins


It's good for this franchise still giving Fitz 11mil a year?

When I have watched him rarely separate from the defender, just if there is a blown assignement

I like him a lot, but in this moment should be a third fourth receiver in the depth chart

If he wants to come back he’s going to need to take a pay cut. It’s pretty clear he’s not that guy anymore and that’s fine he’s given plenty to us over the years

If Cardinals are drafting outside the top 10, what are the chances Lamb is there, Question for draft gurus on this board?

I still say Michael Pittman Jr is just as good & productive. Maybe not quite as twitchy or elusive but he’s big, fast & makes big plays after the catch


I'm not as high on Pittman he seems to lack fluidity to me but maybe it's because he played all over the place in HS(RB, WR, Defense). I also admit to having a bias as he originally committed to UCLA and then bailed, probably a smart move but still.

Big strong kid, not as fast as Jeudy or Lamb but definitely having a big senior year

Honestly nobody does. I have seen Isabella behind the defense but I think it's because nobody covers him not that he's beating his man.

Nobody else seems to get open except off scheme. I would say more than half of our passing yards yesterday were either scheme(trick play to Clay) or Kyler buying time in the pocket and someone getting open or him throwing someone open.

Burrow

RBs

Swift

WRs

Jeudy
Ruggs
Lamb
Higgins

OT

Thomas

TE

None

DE

Young
Gross-Matos

DT

Brown

OLB

Delpit

Likely picks:

Dolphins - QB
Bengals - QB
Redskins - DE
Falcons - CB / S
Jets - WR / OT
Giants - WR / CB / S
Broncos - QB
Buccaneers - QB
Browns - OT / OLB
Steelers - RB / WR / QB

I think it is dicey that he lasts past 10

I don't care personally...... If he wants to come back..... Give him 11mm. #Legend

There’s also Wirfs, Epenesa, Diggs, & Kinlaw as well.

Huge chance Lamb falls to us.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Lamb has tremendous hands, and a tremendous catch radius. He has made some sick, sick catches during the 2+ years I've been watching him. Spider man stuff.

He really is kind of a proto-typical WR.

He's not the burner that Hollywood Brown was, but still has excellent speed. Really can't wait to see what is his 40 time. I'm guessing 4.45.

Guys, he might be there when we pick. Things are setting up that way. Are we going to pull the trigger?

Yes
Getting a right tackle with the second pick
An Ilb with the third

Fre agency:
Jadevon Clowney and a defensive tackle

You, the forever optimists on this board, are still banking on Keim to get a starting WR, a starting ILB, a starting tackle with picks in round 1,2 and 3. I salute. You, do you!

Reasons behind your statement?
If it's not clowney
Shaquille Barrett is good to go
People close to Clowney made it known he wants to go to a contender.

We’re not that for a couple more years.

Dont pay guys for what they’ve done in the past. That’s never a good thing.

Larry has value to the franchise beyond his stat line. There are worse wr making more. Does that mean I think he deserves $11M, no, but with a player like Larry you don't squabble over peanuts, and a few mil is peanuts.

I think $5M is about what a top wr rookie contract goes for? Even if you got Fitz for $5M it's about a 3% cap savings and what, like only 15% of the dead money we have. $5m one way or the other on a single contract is not making or breaking anything.

San Francisco was almost as bad as us last year, and eveb with grappolo they are a contender, sign 3 good free agents, draft good from round 1 to round 7
Here we go

I don't believe you guys understand WR salaries these days.

Here is every WR within 2 million of Fitz. The only two that stand out to me are Keenan Allen and TY.

Alshon Jeffery Eagles $13,000,000
TY Hilton Colts $13,000,000
Keenan Allen Chargers $11,250,000
Tyrell Williams Raiders $11,100,000
Emmanuel Sanders 49ers $11,000,000
Larry Fitzgerald Cardinals $11,000,000
Tyler Boyd Bengals $11,000,000
Tyler Lockett Seahawks $10,600,000
Sterling Shepard Giants $10,250,000
Devin Funchess Colts $10,000,000
Jamison Crowder Jets $9,500,000
Golden Tate Giants $9,375,000
John Brown Bills $9,000,000
Adam Humphries Titans $9,000,000
DeSean Jackson Eagles $9,000,000
Quincy Enunwa Jets $9,000,000

Especially, especially, when Fitz is still making tough catches in traffic, breaking tackles, getting good YAC, and blocking his ass off. It's not like he's Terrell Suggs out there. Fitz is productive.

Weird thing about this list is the majority of these players are on a team that won’t make the playoffs.

I tried to make this same argument when we were trying to resign Oubre on the Suns board. In 2 years..... what I was saying would be peanuts. Now he's gone in 2 years and they don't give comp picks in the NBA.

Every year that his salary stays at 11mil and the cap goes up...... We win.

Nothing is wrong with them. I just only saw 2 guys that are clearly ahead of Fitz as WRs. Lockett I put on the same tier. Brown a tier below.

I am very good with that. Lockett has upside, but nowhere near the physical talent or ability of Fitz.

then comes the MOXIE gap!!!! :-D
