Chaisson and Henderson could end up very good, but NEWS FLASH... without a QB and protection for him... you LOSING a lottt of games! I wanted to know if Minshew could be the guy. FA and 1st round is done, very UNLIKELY an impact player will be brought on 2-7 round. It's completely unfair to ask immediate impact from any rookie, but you could ramp expectations at least for a 1st rounder. Just so disappointing. Minshew running for his life all year. Hope he doesn't get seriously hurt.

I don't object to player for picks trades, per se  But dammit hit on the picks you get in exchange for the player you trade away, especially if he is a superstar.

At this point, I am unconvinced they ht with the Chaisson pick.

Furthermore, I agree with you that by eschewing T and WR, we have put Minshew in a tenuous situation.  We stilll have picks left to address these positions, but we left a lot of talent to other teams, talent that could have been of benefit to Minshew and the team.

And he was taken at #3, so there was no chance of that.

To be clear, adequately replacing Ramsey's talent didn't necessarily have to come from the same position Ramsey played.

If we drafted All Pro talent at other positions with the picks we acquired from the Ramsey trade, I would consider that "adequately replacing."

But as it stands now, I don't see Chaisson at that level of talent.  I desperately want to be proven wrong.
