Overall a LOT of positives with this new receiver group. Kyle Philips and Treylon Burks led the team in yards and receptions.
Per NextGenStats:
WR Treylon Burks:
He averaged 11 yards after the catch on his 3 receptions, tops in the NFL.
He averaged 4.9 yards of separation on his 5 targets, second only to Deebo Samuel (5.0)

Even if Burks turns out to be a stud, the issue is we didn’t really address the receiver situation after losing AJ and Julio. Tannehill, who was never elite to begin with, is heading into his mid 30’s, we don’t know how many years DH22 has left (running backs do not have long careers), we should have brought in a number 1 receiver that can contribute now. Our window of being a contender is not very long…
Per PFF, Burks and Philips both had Top 20 WR grades.
Burks: 74.9
Philips: 72.5
Those ranked #1 and #2 among all rookie WRs with 10+ receiving snaps.
#3 was Drake London at 71.5
#4 was Garret Wilson at 70.6

Philips: 72.5

This is great info thanks for providing.
I hope the coaching staff realizes that all of the good PFF grades in the world don't mean anything, if they don't work to get their best players the ball. Burks should have had 5 more targets at least. And Woods disappeared after the 1st quarter. Prob not his fault, but Downing and co. need to specifically design plays to get the ball in these guy's hands more often.
those swaim targets, IMO, were all progression targets
meaning the primary targets were not open
T17 throws into tight coverage it has to be perfect

I was at the game, no one is hardly ever open. Downing’s offense is just pitiful. It’s obvious he has no clue what he’s doing.
Well then the issue is having Swaim on the field at all during a passing situation. Even if you're running play action. He does not need see more then 1-2 targets a game at most. And it's pretty clear that the TE screen was a designed play. If you are calling that play with Geoff Friggin Swaim, you deserve to be fired on the spot.
Makes me think Chig is not really performing.
Hooper was on the field but apparently can’t get open.
The fact swaim was that much more usable than Chig all game really highlights the handoff to Chig. That play made zero sense.
How long is this “Make a wish” experiment with Downing gonna last?
Despite Burks playing decently, we're running him on kickoffs lol
So Jrob traded AJ for picks 18 and 101.
Then he traded 101 and pick 26 for picks 35, 69 and 163.
18 - Burks
35 - McCreary
69 - NPF
163 - Philips
4 starters that combine to cost $6 million this year at premium positions.

You get what you pay for.
I don’t have a problem with our receivers
I have a problem with the play calling/read progressions
I really like what I saw with Philips and McCreary especially...I think Burks will progress as the season goes along...NPF winning the RT spot is a good sign
as of w1 2022... how has that actually worked out?

Pick 35 (CB Roger McCreary)
Pick 69 (OT NPF)
Pick 163 (WR Kyle Philips)
We got a WR to replace Brown (still debatable if he will) but 3 recs 55 yds isn't a bad game 1...he should have got more plays
We got a starting RT
McCreary seems like he will be a good CB
Kyle Philips is going to have some good games at WR as well as a returner
