WFT Free Agency Plan

[Ruhskins]

In terms of WR, I think we have to get a FA WR and I'm fine swinging big for Golladay. I know the draft is deep in WR this year, but we can't have a rookie be the 2nd receiving option for this team. If we get Golladay, we'd have a situation of WR1a and WR1b, which I'm fine with. At the very least we need a solid WR2 (Davis/Samuel) to go along with Terry. I don't think we should go into next season with an unknown rookie piece as the 2nd wide out.

I’d prefer a plan to bring in a FA WR to compliment Terry and not pay a guy to be the defacto number 1. I think that’s a perfect world scenario where Terry continues his path towards a top 5 receiver in the league

Absolutely, Terry IS a WR1. We do not want another top WR feeling "unappreciated" because Terry gets more action than him. I could see that happening with a Golladay or Smith-Schuster.

He just needs help.

Harmon and Cam Sims will help, but they're not going to get McLaurin into single coverage.

Curtis Samuel or Will Fuller would be a better choice to me.

Spend that big money on a LT and a LB, or better yet, locking up some of our D-line long term while we can.

My updated shopping list:

WR - Curtis Samuel
TE - Gerald Everett
LB - Jayon Brown
CB - Malcolm Butler

Stephan Gilmore may become available shortly with the Pats signing Jalen Mills.

Well I think if you get the pick right, and he's the right fit for the system, a rookie can most definitely be the 2nd receiving option (if not the #1) - see Claypool, Higgins, Lamb, Jefferson, etc. from last year.

I think it would be a mistake to overpay for a WR in free agency considering what is already on the roster and how deep the draft is for that position.
