Wow.  We really see things differently.  While I am frustrated that we did not do what it took to land Cooper and now Woods, both WRs we signed elevated the floor of our WR corps at a minimum.  Without question Kirk is the best WR on the team right now.  That he is the best and is an X/Y hybrid does not bother me.  AND  I think it's imperative to get an X in the draft.  But X does not have to be our best receiver on Day 1.  

What if we move beyond binary thinking?  The Jags reasonably need 2 offseasons to compete for the division.  In the loaded AFC we have for the foreseeable future, I believe we're going to have to win the division to make the playoffs.  This free agency has brought real improvement on both sides of the ball.  If we don't get everything we need in the draft, we will still be playing better football in 2022 than in 2021.  I can get behind that.

I just don't see it. When Chark was healthy, he was a much better receiver than Kirk and definitely better than Jones. Unfortunately, injuries got the better of him over the past few seasons. As far as Kirk now being the best receiver on the team, I would certainly hope so. Our receivers were pure garbage last year. Being the best of a terrible group is not saying much. I still believe that Kirk is an average slot receiver and that is his ceiling. 

I think this team won't be competing for the division until at least 2025. I agree that we have improved significantly at ILB, OG and Nickel. Those additions should help us quite a bit. I'm willing to say that our defense will be markedly improved next season, but this team still has a long, long way to go. On offense I don't see much difference. We brought in a couple new receivers, but I don't think they are much better than what we had. I'm hoping the draft changes my mind. Personally with as many draft picks as we have, I would spend 3 picks on WR's.

Your gonna be very disappointed. Those look like Josh Allen type numbers.
