Efficiency is key. Stroud favors whoever is open so he’s not going to spam targets to a traditional WR1.
And Slowik desperately wants to have a running game and keep Stroud around 30-35 attempts per game. You have to feed Nico/Tank and give Schultz his usual 50-60 catches/season. I’d assume RB group will end around 40-50 catches (more if Saquon is added).
Have to be efficient with your opportunities in this offense. So far so good. Would be interested to see how a guy like Thomas fits in. Nico/Noah Brown kind of cancelled eachother out this past season for production. Brown only produced when Nico was injured. Obviously Thomas is a higher end talent so would be interesting if he can find a role other than Nico insurance.
I think this will decide a lot about what they do with the WR group. If they majorly upgrade RB with someone like Barkley, latest news out of New York is they are not going to tag him, then I think they stay with the current WR group, extend Collins and then maybe just add a guy in rounds 2-4 as mostly a backup or to replace Brown if they let him walk. If they don't upgrade the RB, and I don't see how they couldn't but for the sake of argument, then the WR group becomes vital and I can see them going after one of the big name free agents, at least the ones not tagged.
