Don't sleep on Donte Moncrief: Draft Day steal (1 Viewer)

[TZMarkie]

 So basically, Moncreif was signed and brought in to be a starting WR for Pittsburgh. (One of the better scenarios in the NFL, well before Ben went down at least)

So Moncreif was thrown a starting job, and then he dropped that too , just like everything else.

Time running out for Steelers WR Donte Moncrief

Why cutting Donte Moncrief is important for Steelers

 

[Faust]

Steelers waived Donte Moncrief.

Moncrief was a massive bust for Pittsburgh after early-season drops made him a healthy scratch by Week 3. In total, the receiver was targeted 15 times this season, and he only caught four of them for just 18 yards. Only 26, Moncrief will get other chances but he's likely a depth option from this point forward. Diontae Johnson and James Washington will continue to be the secondary options behind JuJu Smith-Schuster for the Steelers.

Can I un-white star this scrub?

If they didn't cut him they would have lost their third round compensatory pick

Yep.  His drops on week 1 really hurt.  They weren’t going to beat NE on the road but he cost them a couple first downs and a TD that could have lessen the beat down.

He also let a pass bounce off his hands and into a defender in the Seahawks game that was costly as well.

To say he was a disaster is an understatement

hof?

My only big miss this year. I was all in on him. I still think the broken finger was a huge part of his issues.

NFL = not for long.

 Weird....... my post from 9/25/19 is applicable yet again, same player, same team.

 Shame, I always sorta liked this guy.   Thought he could be a decent team player as a WR3 for many organizations. He was fair enough in INDY there for a stretch.

 @grateful zed asked hof?    

 Absolutely bro, he can acquire football HOF tickets online for the mere cost of $26.00 and if he waits until hes over 65, they drop to $22.00

Panthers claimed Moncrief

Panthers claimed Moncrief

What the hell are the Panthers thinking? Moncrief looked like a guy that got picked from the stands this year. How does a team pass on Josh Gordon, and then claim Moncrief who makes like 5X as much?

Panthers have Moore, Samuel, Wright, Hogan. Does Moncrief beat out any of them?

Panthers waived WR Donte Moncrief.

The Moncrief experiment is coming to an end. It's unlikely that he gets picked up again with just three weeks left in the season. Moncrief will have to make major adjustments to his game to be on an active roster in 2020. The Panthers are activating rookie WR/PR Greg Dortch off the practice squad.

I missed this the first time around.

I would have answered that it has to do with the magic of depth.

Jets signed WR Donte Moncrief.

It gives the Jets veteran depth with Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims missing time with injuries. 27-year-old Moncrief looked washed in eight games between the Panthers and Steelers last year. He's not a lock to make the final roster.

  Nothing to see here with Moncrief.  We know what he is and on a fantasy squad shouldn't even be a consideration unless you have enormous rosters.  I take that back, not even with enormous rosters.

 

[rockaction]

God, the ####### Jets. They suck.

 

[The Frankman]

Texans signed WR Donte Moncrief, formerly of the Patriots. 

Now more of a special teamer than pass catcher, 27-year-old Moncrief has caught five passes in 14 games over the past two seasons. Even in lowly Houston, he will have trouble cracking the 53-man roster.

Of course they did.
