Once the trade deadline passes, we're left with what we've got.
- We can't count on Juju to be healthy.
- We can't guarantee that Brown will be back and fully integrated in the playoffs.
- Skyy Moore is Hitler
- Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman are JAGs.
- Remigio and Ross are JAGS at best.
That leaves Worthy, who does not have the body type to sustain 10-15 targets a game.
This year we have a chance to do something that has never been done, and I think it's important that we eliminate as much risk as possible while we still can.
I agree that going for that 3peat we should make moves we wouldn't make in a "normal" year. But, thats still tempered. No way we give up a #1. We need to draft a WR there next year. 2nd rounders we can go OL/DL. Now, we can trade a 3rd for the right deal. [Reply]
I’m not sure I’m on board with the Garrett Wilson and Olave types because I really don’t know that it’s gonna be what makes or breaks us, getting a guy that good.
The hay is in the barn a little bit and with the O having to work around the LT position, this is a team that’s gonna have to be reliant on defense and run game in January. You’ll have Mahomes doing Mahomes things late in games, you’ll have Worthy make some explosive plays, JuJu will hopefully be healthy to be a tough safety blanket, Kelce is gonna Kelce.
Besides that, give me another capable man beater for if a defense is locking other guys up — Diontae, Slayton, etc. — and we will be just fine. Then I get to keep my first rounder + more for next year and we are gonna want it.
Again, I just don’t know that Garrett Wilson locks them into a SB win any more than the other guys named. They aren’t turning into an elite pass offense this year. [Reply]

Diontae is a better WR, IMO. But still worth calling since the Jets are being run by Aaron right now. [Reply]

Why can't we give up a 1? Let's not forget, at best our 1 is going to be something in the 28 range, or worse. It's basically a 2nd rounder. And several talking heads have already said that next season's draft isn't going to be all that great. Giving up our low-value 1 in 2025 just isn't that big a deal, as long as we're not talking about giving up multiple other picks as well. [Reply]
I've been looking at the 2025 draft and I'm underwhelmed with the talent pool. We have an extra 3rd from the Sneed trade which should be pretty high in the 3rd round.
This is the year I would be fine using 2025 draft capital to get a guy or two to fill holes we have due to injuries. [Reply]

Going forward, you could add one of those two to the other 2 and have a pretty formidable trio.
That would be more thought process to adding a big piece, for the future. [Reply]
