I'd take a shot largely because I don't think he'll cost much. He's probably a guy you don't have to guarantee much, if anything, to and you can cut him in camp if it doesn't work. Always a guy that was supposed to break out and never did.

I think he might be out of NFL soon

When did Ozzie do either of those two?

I'm being facetious. Besides, there's no one who will be available at 16 that would come in and make as much of an impact as Odell would

I remember certain guys liking him a lot pre draft as their number one tight end but I haven't followed him enough since then.

A WR for 2 1st rounders and that’s asking for QB money when his contract is up? Hell no.
JAAM

He's not getting 20 million lol

Even if he got 12 million (he will get more) I wouldn’t give 2 1st rounders for a WR. That’s insane.

You wouldn't do that for any WR in the history of the NFL in their prime? Randy Moss, Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, AB?

He definitely hasn’t lived up to his hype. But he’s the kind of TE we need. He can be a decent blocker and threaten the defense downfield.
Reportedly there’s tons of interest in him from teams, but I’d be down to throw him a cheap contract, because he’s still young and he’s still got potential. We definitely need all the help we can get at TE

I'd put him on the same planet as AB. But hey, let's settle for the Perriman's and Chris Moore's of the world.
DeVito52

AB being the guy that is allowed to be in the same sentence lol.
Just because we shouldn’t trade 2 first round picks for one WR doesn’t mean we have to settle for Moore and Perriman. That kind of thinking makes no sense. Good teams don’t trade 2 first round picks for a WR who’s contract is ending soon. Good teams draft good WRs.
for only 1 year of control - we'd be paying 2 first rounders and we'd then still have to give him a longterm contract... that's extortionate

That explains our situation then. Not necessarily true though. Eagles basically built their wrs through FA. Amendola was a FA and they traded for Cook. Falcons picked up Gabriel and Sanu. Teams might get 1 good guy and build around them. We can't find that one DECENT guy.

Yeah I meant the elite WRs mainly. Every once in a while a big #1 WR is available on the market, but most of the time they come with problems or concerns (Jeffery last year, Robinson, Watkins etc). But the absolute best way to get an elite receiver is through the draft. Not trading multiple high picks for one.
JAAM

So what does that make us? Lol
DeVito52
Ravens Ring of Honor
Very, very bad in that category.

I don't need to tell you about our track record with drafting WRs. I'd rather trade multiple picks for Odell and be set for 10 years than keep missing on WRs and wasting 1st rounders
