Agreed on Parker although not liking it. Don't be too sure about Williams if we use high picks on two wr.

Who knows. Grier was able to wrangle a draft pick for a 3 week rental on Isaiah Ford.
Maybe he can come up with something for any one of our recievers.

Do you know for a fact that the WR you choose will be better than Parker?
If you don't know I suggest leaving the draft sims alone....
I don't but i know what i have in Parker, which is not much.
I am willing to roll the dice.
No,
If Parker was healthy most of his career, and last season was an abnormally, then I say you are right.
But past six saesons proved you are wrong.
Didn’t Parker miss like 1-2 games this year? Maybe go out of 1? That’s THAT bad for you? I get that he has been injured a lot in most of his career, but of the past two years he has been relatively healthy.
I think the argument you should be using- is asking if 2019 was an anomaly
also- your heavy use of the word “cannot” in the one post is a bit much. Major overreaction
So, which team does Parker not start for?
starting wr= in the top 3 receivers on the top also to consider that

All cogent arguments, and very reasonable.
Still, Grant is the more dynamic athlete, proved his value by generating TD's in the return game (although his hands are definitely a concern), and showed complete loyalty to the team and staff this year. I still think Grant will be retained if either are. Then again, I wouldn't say either of them has any job security. We'll almost definitely be drafting a young WR, probably in round 1 or 2.

You wanna stick our 2nd year QB with 3 rookie WRs? Yeesh.
It was a strong condemnation, I admit. But I stand by what I said. Beside winng 50 50 ball, I did not see any other attributes in his game.
As for injury，the games he missed last season were critical, we were in the major playoff push. That adds to the summation of his career, six seasons are big enough of sample size that Parker is not a wr we can count on going forward.

Grant is just a great returner. Is almost as he has great speed but when he takes a turn he goes from a rocket to a tractor.
He is not a slot, lets get that out of the way. So its 2, not 3. All teams in top 16 in passing ranking, he would not start.

Let's not conflate Tua's production with Ryan Fitzpatrick's production. Compare this year's Ryan Fitzpatrick to last year's Ryan Fitzpatrick for a more apples to apples comparison. True, we had other issues like no Preston Williams this year but a better OL ... but it's a closer production. Tua had a couple of decent games, such as Arizona and Kansas City, but was more up and down and some of those down games were simply protecting defensive wins. But yes, we saw upticks. Parker was productive without a true deep threat outside of Grant on the opposite side. Gesicki picked up the slot role Preston Williams was manning without any problems ... in fact it led to our primary intermediate to deep threat and a strong red zone option. You can attribute this to whatever you want, but the team really did not miss Wilson or Hurns. With Lyn Bowden Jr., we may already have our direct Wilson replacement without nearly the salary concern.
Did you just say that we moved on productively without them?
Productively?
If you think they quit on the team as opposed to not wanting to take the Covid to their families...say that.
I'm not judging their decision to sit out. But just like someone getting injured is not voluntary, these things are most definitely factored in negatively by the GM's around the league. They don't care why you're not there, but if you're no there it's a major problem. Sure, great talent means they'll cut you some slack ... but not being available is why guys like Mike Pouncey and JJ Watt are making major career decisions. Coaches need to be able to depend on their players, that means less mental errors, less injuries, less drama, and yes ... health decisions (like sitting out a season from Covid concerns) is part of that equation. Ultimately, the front office is judged on how many games we win .... not whether you remain valuable next year after they're fired. So, they have a strong preference for guys who are present and productive.
Look at our offense. We were not significantly less productive without Wilson and Hurns. That's just the way it will be viewed by our front office. I'm not making any kind of moral evaluation or philosophical point. I'm just acknowledging that our front office will see sitting out 2020 because of Covid concerns as a negative mark on that player's evaluation, so unless we need their productivity, it probably spells bad news for the player. Just how the league is today.

Neither Wilson, nor Hurns makes as much money as many think.
I suspect that they will be traded or come to camp. I doubt if either gets released outright.
