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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
