You know what?
I was about to suggest developing a sense of humour, but that would be a waste.
WO at #8 is a possibility despite what you have to say ad nauseam.

Keim said about Lamb on 98.7 before the trade Lamb has graded out as DeAndre Hopkins the best Wideout, here the interview he talks draft, Need to replay it, because I think he thought he had Hopkins even than.

Keim's smart enough to leave Lamb as a "possibility" in the whole smokescreen process leading up to the draft.

The draft is about being proactive... not acting like a chicken with its head cutoff and drafting for need later because you did not handle the future with the present draft properly
Murray wants Lamb so I guess he's not to concerned about the people blocking.

That's his good friend. You don't see him stumping for Jeudy or Ruggs. Also, Murray wanted Lamb before Hopkins came on board. Not the same thing.

And where would I find a story stating that KM no longer wants Lamb?

There isn't one. I'm sure he'd still like to play with his friend. I'd stump for my buddy to come work with me even if my team needed an ops guy more than an analyst.

Quite funny isn’t it. The other side of this debate always talk in absolutes even when evidence is presented to the opposite. When evidence is asked of them, if it doesn’t fit the narrative, it’s just brushed aside.

But what if the analyst (your buddy) was one of the best analysts you ever worked with and became available only at that time? Maybe you would think slightly longer term as you other analyst friend was retiring soon. Also you have a young ops guy in place who might work out with more experience.

People and the media are so quick to annoint the next superstar, just so they can tear them apart in a year or so. Man's played 5 games.

Frank Kaminsky is my Hero.
Get with the program. We’re supposed to be making general conclusions about one’s entire career after five games. That’s what social media has taught me.

Lamb at 40 targets to Kirk’s 21.
Solar7 and BritCard should probably not post with any degree of confidence in their NFL takes ever again.
WOW
WOW

also, lol at all the LET’S NOT ANOINT HIM YET guys....you do realize that rookies don’t generally get...worse, right? Lmao

I never said Lamb wasn't going to be a good player. Just not the right fit for us in the moment. As far as targets go, you have to look at gameflow. Dak's been in exactly one game all season where his team didn't need to score more than 35 points to win on account of his trash defense. He had 222 attempts to Kyler's 181. Kirk missed a full game, and part of the Washington game too. So, a 19 target discrepancy means absolutely nothing.
Not the right fit for us was premised on Kirk (our #2 going forward) being better than Lamb. That seems clearly wrong at this point. You seemed to think it was not possible.

Find me a single post in this entire thread that says anything of the sort. Because I just went through this thread, and I sure couldn't. The argument the whole time was that Lamb is a great player but we couldn't afford to invest in the luxury of taking him. I still stand by that.
Nothing here says anything about Kirk being better. The most I could find was calling him a "serviceable #2." I'm just sick and tired of redrafting positions. We had 4 picks over 2 years at the position, and traded away a 2nd rounder and paid a guy a ton of money to be our #1. 16 other teams passed on Lamb, too. He was the 3rd WR off the board. He was never realistically an option where we picked.
REALLY wish we had Lamb or Ruggs now instead of Simmons (not writing him off, but the WRs look damn good).
We need a #2 WR badddddddddd.
