We Need More Talent On Offense

[slanidrac16]

Sorry, but the offense has gotten the lion's share of resources recently. They will simply have to make do, especially when we will only have Kyler Murray at QB next season. You go heavy defense and pray the D keeps the team in the game. We looked at this offense in the offseason as one that would control the ball and bail out the D. Despite much better offensive personnel, it has been the opposite. Go defense, or go home, Monti.

This 100%. Maybe add a “fast” wr to remove one more excuse for Kyler.
Imagine this defense if we had Crosby, Garrett or Parsons.

Seems the most likely scenario, but there’s money to do both. They have to add speed at WR. They must add at least one productive guard.

We need a jump-ball artist, doesn't matter what the rest of their game looks like. Could be a FA or later draft pick. It would help support Murray's backfoot lobs on 3rd/4th and 1.

If Murray could throw jump balls Harrison would be more effective.

I understand your point, but if you look at the 2025 FA market...there isn't a ton to spend money on. This is one of the things about FA. Sometimes what it offers is not your primary needs. Same with the draft.

There is money to do both, but in what world would we expect Monti to actually spend that much money? He's either conservative to a fault or handcuffed by Dollar Bill's boy. I know which I favor.

So I'm reading we should have spent more last offseason when there were better fits?

Nah, better to waste money on middling talent like Jones/Nichols/SMB, and keep the 7 year plan in place.

lol...probably, yes. Especially at EDGE. A lot can happen between now and the new year but right now this is probably what we are looking at.

IDL
Osa Odighizuwa (I would say he is the best pass rusher interior player)
Levi Onwuzurike

EDGE
Josh Sweat
Khalil Mack

Those are probably the best players at DL and EDGE in the upcoming FA class.
