I don't buy the Dyami hype. To me, he only has a 50/50 shot to make the squad at all. Ideal for him is practice squad. The only advantage over Jefferson is he has is exp
erience with Jayden.
If we do nothing more, I'd expect Jefferson to make some noise as he doesn't drop the ball.
And regarding Luke's separation, I agree I saw him open, but as I recall, that was usually in zone, not so much beating man, which is essential when playing outside, otherwise, he's just another zone beating slot guy, which we have covered.

It's pretty clear going with what we have today is a huge risk as we have only one viable threat in Terry. At least last year we had Deebo to fall back on if TerrY got injured. As of right now, no one measures up to Deebo, and look what happened last year when Terry went down. I mean arguably, we should sign 2! Like Aiyuk and Diggs for instance. The problem with that is all these vets are head cases.

Going with what we've got is not just a gamble, it would be malpractice, far beyond dropping our center with a so so backup. If the idea is to help Jayden, we need to get lucky with a starting center and a starting WR to get cut and for us to scoop them up. Expecting a 1st year coordinator to score as much as kingsbury with 1 viable NFL starting WR is asking for trouble, unless you want to try to win games 20-18 all year with a defense who's goal would to achieve average (giving 24 points per game, not including special teams points)

I mean I'm not trying to be a downer, but in no world is a 3rd rounder going to become a 10 year NFL experienced 1000 yard Stephon Diggs. Not that I like his style, just his production.
Dyami and Luke borderline suck to me, and that is not a viable option for #2.
Otherwise, we are 7-10 at best and hope to work on getting a better WR a year from now.
McLaurin was a 3rd round draft pick; I wouldn't be too hasty to conclude that Williams cannot develop into a #2 and hit Diggs-type numbers. Heck, Diggs was a 5th rounder by the Vikings. Obviously, it's hard to predict how guys will develop, but I don't think we should assume that Williams won't be able to do what we drafted him to do.

I highly doubt the front office drafted a 3rd round WR who is mostly slot to serve as our immediate #2 WR. Is that a best case scenario, yeah, just like your two examples that are an exception to the rule.

I'm not saying it can't happen, but in no world should that be your plan A, plan C sure, but all I am hoping for is plan B as we obviously missed out on an experienced or Stud #2 in free agency or the draft. I am hoping for a trade, or to sign Diggs or Aiyuk and hope they get their heads straight and play like they did in their prime.
I don't think I am alone in my opinion that we do not have an obvious #2 WR on the roster.
Of course if ur ok to gamble Jaydens #3 season on your best hopes, that's fine, but I am uncomfortable with that approach. In fact, I am even uncomfortable with gambling on Aiyuk as we don't even know if he can run without farting at this point
