If they are in it to win then why would they bring back Tre Quan Smith? Wide receivers are supposed to be able to catch the ball not just block. They're not called wide blockers for a reason.

He's not as bad as you make him out to be. He was targeted 27 times last season and had three drops. He was targeted exactly 100 times the previous two seasons and had only six drops. Tre'Quan has never caught fewer than 63.6 percent of his targets and hauled in 70.4 percent in 2022.

In comparison, Chris Olave had seven drops alone last season. He caught only 60.5 percent of his targets.

You see, Rugs, perception is not always reality.

He was a swing and a miss but let's give him another shot at blocking

And you wonder why you were 7-10 last season. Michael Gallup was there in the same draft class, same round. Scouts missed that one.

Improve the depth if you want to compete with the Niners, Eagles & Cowboys when it counts.

Part of the problem has been trading away draft picks for a player that we overvalue, rather then getting depth players who become role players, and then become eventual starters. I know we won't but I hope we trade back in this draft.
