J. Shorter practice window opened

Re: J. Shorter practice window opened

I’d like to see him get offensive reps. We passed on Puka Nacua for him, so it would be nice to find out if he can be more than a ST piece.

Puka is the man !!

Re: J. Shorter practice window opened

Davis should be gone for performance and price reasons. We need to draft a number 1 WR in the first round (plenty of great options in 24 draft) to start grooming as Stefon is now 30 and we need some real juice at the position.

Shorter if he develops could become a possession/RZ threat.

We definitely need a WR 1 and at least one safety ..... two might be better.

Other positions in need are DT, CB and a versatile OL ..... that can play any position including Center.

Michael Pittman is having a strong year and only 26. He’s a free agent

I'd go for Antoine Winfield Jr. as well he's only 25.

....only one way to find out if he is the answer? I mean they drafted him and Shakir was a 5th rounder. Unless he takes the field how will we know?

Gotta give him the opportunity.

I don't have any issue with Shorter. If he ends up playing and plays well that would be great, but I don't want that to stop them from being aggressive in trying to upgrade the WR group.

Re: J. Shorter practice window opened

I'm sure somebody more astute with statistics and records can look this up, but is there another receiver in the league who does less with such a gargantuan snap % than Davis?

He's not even on the stat sheet in 3 of the last 5 games! How the hell does that happen in a pass-dominant offense with a gunslinger QB?

Give Shorter some run if he gets healthy. You can't do worse than 3 goose eggs in 5 weeks.

I doubt we'll be able to sign any young free agents that playing well enough they'll demand a decent-sized contract.

Correct. this is why the likelihood is very high we draft that guy in the first round. Need, availability, price.
