I'm not placing upgrading at pass-catcher above the entire o-line but if we're breaking down individual positions, I'd definitely say finding a play-maker at WR or TE is above C. Monroe being re-signed/franchised and Osemele returning healthy will be huge. I'm interested to see how the team will address center and finding a RT will be huge too but those positions are arguably easier to upgrade or at least patch up than WR.

Adding more pass-catching talent is the bigger priority. Gino was poor for most of the year but the FO will undoubtedly bring in some competition for him. They don't have to invest a first round pick in one though.

Won't be surprised if he does. JR is the man though.

Even as a Miami fan, I'll admit he deserved to have 50 that game with how often he should have gone to the line. Ridiculous performance. On another note, JR Smith shenanigans.

Great W against Tottenham in the FA cup tonight. Loved seeing Theo troll the Tottenham fans.

Just heard Timberwolves radio guy Alan Horton's meltdown on Dan Le Batard's show. Hilarious.

Just truth.

I'd say Torrey is better than the players in bold. However, guys like Amendola, Kerley, Washington and Johnson definitely run better routes. And Smith, Blackmon and Bowe are better at contested grabs. Love Torrey and I think he'll get better but he's barely a top-30 WR at this point. Not sure whether you intentionally left him or just forget but Keenan Allen is an interesting name to consider. Not to derail the thread but is he already a comparable WR to Torrey at this point?

Liking that.

He's so raw but his upside is ridiculous.

Salmons was a cancer?

It's going to be harder to keep him actually.

I was looking more at the groups but can't argue there.

Those rankings mean nothing. Brazil spanked Spain in their last meeting and yet they're ranked 10th. Switzerland is 8th above them. Klinsmann has done a great job and I don't doubt the US team next year will better than we've seen in years past. How did Ghana barely qualify? They won their group comfortably and though they lost their second leg to Egypt 2-1, they were already practically though after smashing them 6-1 in the first leg. As for the how the US qualified, I don't see how they faced notably stronger opposition. Jamaica, Guatemala and Antigua and Barbuda aren't comparable doormats to Zambia, Lesotho and Sudan. Ronaldo usually plays very well for Portugal. He played well in South Africa a few years ago, dragged his team to the semis last year and was in ridiculous form during qualifying this year. The team isn't amazing beyond him but they've got quite a few solid players, Coentrao and Moutinho especially. Klinsmann will surely have some useful tips but Germany is absolutely loaded. We'll see...

Can't say I've watched a lot but I'm familiar with some of their top players on their squad and I know enough about the teams in their group to project how the match-ups could go. Not that past games will dictate the game but Ghana beating the US the last three times they've faced each other in all competitions can't be ignored. I'd say there are at least 10 teams deeper than the US as well. Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, England, Italy, France, Argentina, Germany, Portugal and Belgium surely are; after that, you've got more a bunch of teams with more clear-cut or comparable talent. Ghana is one of them. I agree the US will frustrate the teams they play but I just don't see them emerging from the group. We'll see how things pans out.

Whatever happens, the Uruguay/England game should be a riot. The media here can't get enough of Suarez.

I don't see how the US should beat Ghana. They likely won't be able to out-muscle them and their overall technique isn't too good. Portugal certainly isn't great but even beyond Ronaldo, the US will have their hands full.

World Cup draw was earlier today. The US is going to be lucky to finish fourth in their group with Germany, Portugal and Ghana. I won't be surprised if England doesn't get out it's group either. Italy and Uruguay obviously have quality and Costa Rica usually has talent. France should cruise to the knock-out stages, as well as Argentina. Group C is a toss-up.

Crazy pass by Bridgewater

At his best, Ginobli was the best SG in the league after Kobe and Wade. He's old now but can still contribute in spurts. Scola and Delfino are solid role players. Don't know anything about Prigioni.

Dirty pass by Born Ready.

Good to see Wall continuing to light it up.

There's no more upside with Jones. He turns 30 next year; we've already seen his ceiling. He's good for plays like we saw against the Jets but he's no more than a situational deep threat. Regarding Doss, he certainly makes boneheaded plays but he's an effective returner and is better on short and intermediate routes than Jones. With Pitta likely back next year, Marlon hopefully taking a step in his development and the running game improving, Torrey will be allowed to go deep more often, lessening the need for a strict deep threat like Jacoby. Personally, I'd rather see a younger players with long-term upside battle to be the third and fourth receiving options.

Letting Jones go wouldn't create much of a revolving door situation. Assuming Pitta is re-signed, Joe will have him, Torrey, Brown and Doss back next season. I'd rather see that group along with an early-round WR draft pick continue to grow with Joe over the long-term. Had Pitta not gone, we wouldn't have missed Q's production as much.
