I dont disagree.
Right or wrong, I got respect for Washington here.
Not predicting injury, but if something were to happen to Goeddart, D.Smith or (knock on wood) AJB, Dotson’s value would take a big bump.
Not convinced Dotson's ceiling is now higher. I think it's a safe bet that Philly's going to be the better offense, for about 5 or 6 games. Totally agree he's a hold, they didn't move him because he sucks. He uncharacteristically became less assignment sound amidst this development to pursue Aiyuk.
I’m not convinced the 49ers are trading Aiyuk.
that may well, be, but I guess the question is.... does Washington have any players that San Fran would want who would be acceptable in trade for Aiyuk? my guess is.... no. so this was a dream that was highly unlikey to come true unless Washington parts with significant draft capital. Even then, San fran wants to win Now. the draft helps in the future. so its not a match that way either.
Therein lay the rub.
What's interesting is both teams drafted high the position they're now looking to trade. Both players are disgruntled I guess, and fill a need for the other team. Aiyuk is a fit for Washington & Jonathan Allen, a very good interior pass rusher, isn't a player the 49ers could use? He didn't do as well vs the run, but teams like the 'niners that are almost always playing with a lead, a need for one-dimensional DL that are run-stoppers... not exactly a premium. Given Adam Peters rapport with the 49ers organization, I consider it a very plausible trade.
Looking at how tough and physical the 49ers skilled players are (Deebo, Ayiuk, CMC, Kittle) they may not have wanted Dotson. I wouldn't be surprised if they would value the pick more than him.
its possible. Maybe the most likely scenario I've seen in terms of any trade with Washington.
They drafted Pearsall for a reason right?
its hard to evaluate a guy who has a bad qb like Dotson has had. you dont know if the subpar numbers are more due to bad QB play or bad WR play. I'm sure its a bit of each, but I'm leaning towards bad QB play taking the larger portion of the blame
The bit I've looked into Ricky Pearsall, to me he's not a player I would've drafted in 1st round. Top traits are his football IQ, mindset & ball skills. But his physical tools, that of a 1st round talent? In their window, obviously he's someone they believe can play meaningful minutes sooner rather than later. Mentioned above, having drafted a WR, the 'niners may well prefer the draft pick.
certainly possible. and if they feel hes ready maybe they want the draft pick. but most of the trade rumours I've seen sent a WR back at San Fran, so my assumption was that this kid likely could use a little more time before hes ready to be unleashed, but sometimes you dont get the luxury of waiting.
This is exactly what to expect from the WR3 position in Philly in recent years.
5 for 53 and no tuddies
Hmm - with confidence no less.
Will Smith move to the outside for most of his snaps?
What about gambling on Brandin Cooks vs. Dotson?
Yeah, go with Cooks for sure. I changed my mind after watching the game against the Falcons.
2 catches 8 yards this week with no AJ meh
But devonta and Goedert were the focus. We'll see what happens this week.
Yep. You got us on this one. Don't know what happened to him. He was a stud In College.
Up to 5 receptions for 25 yards on the season. It is rare we fleece PHI in a trade. And a late draft picks were more than enough in return for this dud.
CEH to me- CEH has at least shown stuff in the past year. But you could drop both and most won't care.
