The title says it all.  I'm not interested in seeing a hypothetical depth chart of specific players.  You can reference some if you want but I'm interested in seeing what traits at WR would work the best given Cam's play at QB.  

 

The obvious: A large physical balanced receiver >6'2, good hands, blocker, doesn't give up on plays

 

 

Whatsayyou?

Able to catch obviously but mostly more speed, we need a more guys who can get out of coverage and get open. I'm tired of seeing passes in coverage, every team has a few guys who can get open. Sure our OC calls long developing plays but I don't want a guy who falls down after he's pressed like Bersin. We need quickness!!!!!

Cam throws lasers. Need wr who can catch that. Don't know specific tangibles but maybe look at wr whose college qbs share similar traits to cam.

 

Definitely.  I think finding guys that can handle the velocity of his throws is key.  If they can't corral them, the tips that happen become easily pick-able at times.  

 

Something I want to pry out of posters is if a downfield Terrance Williams/Cruz type threat would actually work well with him?  Because I think that's going to be a type of receiver a lot of people want, but it may not be the best fit.

It wasn't neccesarily that last years WR's core was better. It just had pieces that complimented each other. Having Ginn and Smith's savy made last years offense more vertical than this one was.

 

This years squad has too many guys of the same skill set. Cotchery, Avant, and Bersin are players that serve the same function. Philly is decent, but he's young and it's a lot to put on a UDFA to beat Richard Sherman on a go route.

 

Had we kept Ginn and Steve Smith to team with KB we would have  hell of a WR core. You'd have the always open redzone guy in KB, the deep threat who gets yards in chunks with Ginn. And finally Steve Smith to make the clutch catches with YAC ability.

 

Right now we just need a guy with hands and speed.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
