    Austin is starting to make those of us that pimped him coming out of college look good.

    Look, I don’t hate the guy. But as Hyman Roth says in Godfather II, Calvin Austin is small potatoes, He’s a shrimp, he goes down with a strong gust of wind. His speed is seductive, but he does squat on kick returns, when Pickens returns he’ll be 2 catches for 11 again. If he leaves in the off season, he’s imminently replaceable.

    Austin is cheap and under contract for next season, so I don't see him leaving in the offseason.

    Once again, when asked who was the hardest wr to cover in college, Sauce Gardner replied Calvin Austin aka CA3

    If he’s cheap and under contract fine. I’m not advocating cutting him or anything. But he’s the small speedy WR tease, that always promises a breakout year that never comes.

    Nate Herbig, Leal, Trice, Ogungobi. They are always hurt, wouldn't waste cap space on them.

    He’s ok as as a 4 or 5

    And he has a year on his rookie contract

    Pitts biggest mistake was wasting a pick on Pickett! That hurt! We need a franchise QB. Like it’s been said Wilson is month to month! If someone waves a few dollars more and make him feel like a SB is attainable now, he gone! He is chasing retirement dollars!

    Unfortunately Pickett did not have the heart and intellect to be a competitor in the NFL

    That is an unfortunately obvious fact

    This is something you just can not measure when evaluating the draft

    No one saw the desire and intelligence Brady had for example

    I watched Trent McDuffie today play another great game for the Chiefs and am still pissed that we passed him over for Kenny Pickett.

    Really, I'd mostly just want to see Najee go. If Russ wants more than 20-25 a year, I'm probably good on him leaving too. We could drop Williams and Jefferson and not even know they left. Roberts is probably another...

    He's a #3 WR what do you expect him to put up 1,000 yards? He gets maybe 3 targets a game and fans complain like he's not good enough :rolleyes:.

    He's better than a 4 or 5, he's outproducing their #2 WR Jefferson.

    Patterson and Pruitt both has beautiful tough TD catches. Russ and Arthur just need to give them chances. They aren't bad players, especially Patterson even though he's older. If Najee leaves, I'd like to see him stay.
