Treylon Burks: A bigger AJ Brown/Deebo Samuel. Thickly built, motioned around in the backfield a lot.

Garrett Wilson: Calvin Ridley? Inside/outside versatility with incredible body control and YAC ability.
One of these guys will be there regardless of where we are in the draft order.

I'd be elated with any ... especially Burks.

At least 2 could potentially end up as Day 1 starters at the next level.

Unfortunately it takes two parties to play pass and catch. Both Taysom (injured finger) and Siemian (ineptitude) haven't shown the consistent ability to throw catchable balls when the receivers do get open. I think Brees could take the field today and be making what we have now look like solid NFL starters.

I only see one route runner on the roster and he's gone for the year. Tre, Kenny, Chris Hogen, Kevin White, etc just don't have the ability to get open.

Deonte & Callaway are the only guys worth keeping around next season.

Help your QB out, come back to the ball or go get it in traffic.

Draft 2, then go get a dawg in Free Agency. We need help offensively.

I do have to admit, Taysom's deep pass to Callaway showed nice touch and accuracy, something I didn't see last season.

Hopefully he can become more consistent and allow this offense to get better.

Yeah. That pass was nice. His problem has been on those 10-15 yarders.

No guarantee he will be back of course, but I still think Winston has more potential and upside as a starter. Just my opinion and I’m not trying to start a big debate.

Yes. You have gotta get better this off-season ... both at QB and WR.

9 points (all fgs) isn't gonna get it done consistently at this level.

Missed opportunities passing and catching.

Completely valid and respect your opinion.

I hope the news about Russell Wilson wanting to be a Saint is reciprocated by our management though, I'd love that move.
