If we re-sign chark, pick up Wr in FA, how many do/ should we target in the draft? And how high in the draft? I see a lot of posters popping 3 WR in the draft, me included. I think some of us get carried away with the notion of getting more weapons for Trevor when he needs a fair amount of help on the online too

I think it's going to ultimately come down to three key things:

1. Free Agency - If they don't resign Chark or sign at least one or two tier I - tier II type receivers they're going to have to address it in the draft.
2. Trade - If they fail in addressing the offensive line or receiving positions they're probably going to try and organize a trade to create opportunities to address it.
3. Coaching - Next coaching hire might see the entire field differently and may favor running it more in 2022 or may favor the tight end position in the receiving game more.

I would like to think it lies somewhere in between all three of those things, right? So, maybe you resign Chark, and, you take a chance on Godwin or Gallup and then look to finish up the position in the draft. Maybe you sign a G or C in hopes of replacing Norwell or Linder. I think the tackle position is going to be handled the way Lageman sees it. You tag Robinson and you force him and Little to duke it out for LT. Loser takes on Taylor for RT. Loser of that trio becomes the swing man or ends up playing Guard in 2022.

I think RB needs to be addressed now. It wasn't high on my list of priorities in 2022, but, with Robinson now on the mend late with that ACL and Etienne officially looking to have his rookie year in 2022 they're going to need to add more players to the roster. Could it be Armstead? I don't know. However, I do think they're going to need to eye Melvin Gordon, James Conner and Chase Edmonds in March. If they fail there? They need to look at Zamir "Zeus" White from Georgia, Alabama's Robinson or Michigan's Haskins IMHO between RD4 - RD5 to add some hope.

If we waste a draft pick on a RB, I'm gonna be furious! There are at least 15-25 really good RB's who have declared for the draft. There is no way that many are gonna get drafted. Not even close. There will be a ton of excellent players that can be had as UDFA's. Some might be stars. This RB class is so loaded.

Take on Taylor? Why? He shouldn’t be on the team next year.

In reality, I think it’s going to be Little at LT and Neal at RT. Take the money you would have given to Cam and spend elsewhere.

If we do that, I will be done with this team. That would be the dumbest move we could possibly make.
