I also think our need at WR is being underestimated. I know we can get one in the draft, but another vet would be ideal given our cap situation. Jahan is also very unproven IMO.

 

Trade for Aiyuk

Trade for Higgins

Ridley or Hollywood Brown (both with strong links to the coaching staff)

Hollywood would be my preference.

He has that scary speed I crave on offense.

Depth?

That's a legitimate point but I think we have sufficient depth already at that position.

Can always add someone in the draft as well.

Maybe we can convince to Curl to sign a one year deal and test the market next year.

Why would we do that?

Imo, Chin and Curl have a similar skill set.

He also seems obsessed with branding. If you look at his Instagram, a lot of commercials/advertisement type stuff.

 

 

Speaking of branding....😀

I’ve not read that Caleb is his dad’s puppet or anything like that. 
 

But everyone would prefer if a prospects dad is just a regular dad.

Caleb isn't a puppet or anything like that but dad is super involved.

The father is all about maximizing the Williams brand.

It's been that way since at least HS.

And I'm not saying it's a bad thing either.

I thought EB was only signed on for 1 year anyway?...Am I misremembering?

It was a multi year deal.

I'd love to see them grab X Howard and Gilmore.

31 and 34 years old.

Yeah, I'll pass.

If he’s the backup he’s one snap from playing. So if he’s here I certainly care about his development.

I agree...but I get the vibe some folk care more about Sam's development than the presumed starter.

Yeah I like Sam a lot as a backup and potential starter, and I love the Maye/Howell QB room, but you would be nuts not to take a mid to high 3rd. Comp pick third?

 

If we weren’t going to run some sort of air raid, I’d do it in a heartbeat but I think he’s doing to really excel in this scheme.

No offense, but why does Sam "excelling" in a new scheme matter?

Assuming he's on the roster, he's the 2nd or 3rd string QB.

It's just odd to me how many posters are concerned about his development....

Orioles young talent or Nats young talent, who would you take?  

 

Of course who knows what the future holds, that's a no duh statement.

To be fair, you brought up the future.

Perhaps you should have just asked "which team has more young talent?"

But this isn't a serious conversation anyway.

You're an O's fan who is feeling himself after lasts year's success....and that's fine.

Wanna trade the Nats future for the Orioles future?  You're lying if you say no. 

Who knows what the future holds?

I do know that in the present the O's look really good.

And as for the Nats, they are obviously in a rebuild.

Probably best to revisit this once the Nats young talent makes it to the majors.

Based on the blurred out photos of fivehead in the video, I'm going to have to strongly disagree.

I've seen the unblurred photos...and I think you'd be surprised .🤔

Being aggressive lately and scoring 43 are not the same thing.

 

Is he a 20/10 guy now? Possible, two weeks is a lot more then one game.

 

Interesting when be drops his next 40 piece...this month? Next? Next Year?

I don't care if he drops 40 next game, next month or next year for that matter...although I'd take it LOL.

I'm just looking for consistency. 😀

This is from a poster on another site:

Over his first 30 games, Deni averaged 11 points, 5.5 boards and 3.8 assists in 26.7 minutes per game on a TS% of .578. That was basically in line with his prior two seasons (8.7 points, 5.9 boards, 2.4 assists in 25.3 minutes, TS% .535) except with a modest improvement in aggressiveness and finishing around the rim.

Over the last 24 games, Deni is averaging 17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists in 30.0 minutes per game on a TS% of .645 and a USG of 22.3%. That's a long enough sample size that it is almost surely real. Those averages rank him 60th in scoring, 30th in rebounding, and 18th in TS% (9th if you ignore rim-running bigs with a USG% below 18) - all while being a plus defender who is switchable 1-4.

Over the last 6 games, it's 24.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 33.3 minutes a game on a TS% of .700 and a USG of 25%. While that shooting efficiency is surely not sustainable, the overall production is evidence that he may be even better than his averages over the last 24 games.
