2023 DE Jayden Wayne (Commits to the Canes!)

[E1k]

I think you guys saying WR’s aren’t at least on par with edges today are old school cats. Georgia might have had the best front 7 in CFB history (very arguable) and none of it would have mattered had Bama had it’s 1 and 2 wideouts. They both would have went over 100 yards and Bama would have won, again

And bama’s oline was mediocre last year lol but they still could’ve won that game. Proof is right there for people to see

Modern game is timing. You don’t need 3 elite WRs. See Tom Brady or Drew Brees’s entire career. You need guys who can get one step separation on cuts. Bonus if you have a burner who can track deep balls. You can neutralize a pass rush with quick game but that has situational limitations.

Exactly at most WR and Edge are 2A/2B.

I wouldn’t use Tom Brady and drew Bree’s entire career for what’s taken place the last 5 or so years. Tom terrific had mike evans, chris godwin and ab on his super bowl Tampa roster with others which counters your point. Today WR is premium

Fine let’s compromise and have elite oline, dline, and wrs at the same time

Yup. A couple dropped passes is the only thing that held them back even without their 2 best

Came in here looking for information on Jayden Wayne. I'm an idiot

I think the patriot’s system is an outlier to be honest.

An extreme one

I’ve never seen a chip won or lost purely by WR play. &&you probably never will cause football don’t work like that. Not in this era or any era lol

 

[BloodEunsOrangeAndGreen]

This was an absurd WR class, ‘22 NFL draft was the exception not the rule.

I think 2021 had way better quality(bonafide stars) where 2022 def had depth, but wouldn’t say any should have gone in the top ten.

Bama also had an elite front on both ends.

what matters is high end QBs. WRs are still a distant second probably third behind OL.

Last year Vikings were top WR team and suck. Same with the cowboys, albeit they at least win their trash division.

Teams with good WR corps like the bengals win with QB play. For example, did the rams WRs get that much better from 20 to 21 or did something else change? OBJ isn’t that much of an upgrade over Van Jefferson to explain the difference.

Point in all this is if I’m a GM and can get a generational DE or WR I go with the DE because the modern game requires a good WR trio. Three 8s are better than a 10 and 2 6s. The Brady example proves this because none of the guys you mention are all time wide outs (2020 AB isn’t prime AB).

&&please I beg..stop using CIN as an example..they were good last year but I am willing to bet they miss playoffs this season. Only so far you can get when your QB is literally throwing for his life down after down..not a productive way to keep your QB upright with a billion WRs but no one to block for em

17 pages for the 5* DE we're gonna get, 94 for the diva going to LSU

Proof of playing hard to get makes people more interested

This is why the Kardashians are household names.

 

[mirvin88]

I believe WRs are more important than ever, but I'm still going QB > DL > OL at minimum over WR

Give me a good QB and bullies up front all day every day before a top WR

Wayne would be a massive get, one we typically struggle with

Who did the rams go to when the super bowl was on the line? They didn’t run the ball behind their HOF LT

The 40-year-old LT? He's not the same guy he was 10-15 years ago
