OK, so they didn't really explain how they came up with their list. Sounds to me like some of it is based upon opinion as opposed to being compiled on at least a loose form of statistics.  Sorry, I just think that my p says more about the need for drafting impact players than just some big guys who may or may not be as skilled.  It's like Greg Cosell alluded to in his discussion on philadelphiaeagles.com, not only are skills, size, talent and measurables something to take into account when drafting a WR, you also have to take into account how a receiver is going to be utilized to determin whether they will be successful as a pro. 

 

All this being said, I realize that in both articles (if you will), there may be a better way to judge the efficiency and efficacy of WRs, but at the end of the day it's all just a crap shoot.

This jumps out to me.  And it should for all the posters out there who say you don't need a big WR.

That's the one thing I really took away from that entire article.

 

Not to nitpick but I wonder what they mean by "top 10" because most stat sheets have Antonio Brown, DeSean and Garcon. All at <6'0

You look at the name and think he's a nobody, but he was amazing at getting to the ball and getting open. Definitely top 40 in my opinion.

Yeah, I've actually defended him quite a bit to others. But the observer article said that they were trying to identify guys that were no. 1 caliber and he is not a no. 1 in my opinion.

Yeah he's certainly not a number one, but I just thought the article was looking at the top 40 receivers. After looking it does say ones with #1 talent, and that's where they screwed up. There are less than 30 with #1 talent in my eyes. Baldwin is a high caliber #2 in my opinion. Doesn't have the elite speed to be a #1.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
