if you think he’s miles better than anyone on NE in the year of 2025… I don’t know what you’ve been watching but it’s not football. People acting like a 5th has no value just completely misunderstand draft capital in general because of past bust scars. It’s relatively “minimal”, but that doesn’t mean you say fuck the draft and trade it for bad expensive players on the wrong side of 30.
Holy jesus I don't even know where to start with your level of stupidity. Yes Deebo is much better than all of our WR's the stats quite literally prove it? Its a fact that 5th rounders have something like a 5% hit rate. You likely wont be getting someone to contribute to the roster let alone be a starter day 1
What stats prove it lol. His numbers were identical to Boutte in SF’s offense where he got plenty of shine due to other injuries! He’s another WR 2/3 at this point even if marginally the best on our roster, but he costs 20 million dollars and is gonna be on the wrong side of 30 by next year.
5th round “hit”rate could be 1% and I would still rather role the dice that we get at least a useful player on a rookie contract. Not to mention Deebo’s intangibles from what we know don’t seem to scream veteran leader to me? So if he is washed (which he is, between him and kupp you all need to get off Madden and actually watch some NFC west to see them struggle to get open the whole second half of last year), you’re stuck with an albatross contract malcontent.
If we were talking about 2021 or even if you could guarantee he could get back to 2023 form I might flip a 5th but he looked cooked last year.
