What traits are you looking for in the new WR'S.

[PantherWake]

ELITE route running and ELITE hands/concentration. Only thing I care about. Don't care about size, speed, YAC, etc. If they have that too, great, but what we need is a guy who can get separation so Cam isn't throwing into a tight window every time and he needs to not drop the damn ball.

Hopefully we can draft the next Larry Fitz then 

[top dawg]

I want someone that is tough physically and mentally, has great hands, and can create separation by stopping on a dime or using a little shake and bake.

 

 

Most important to me is a receiver who has the ability and proclivity to straight up take over a game on the offensive side of the ball.

Can we just trade for obj already

Yep...how the hell did Sammy Watkins go above him....crazy

[bandu]

a fire within that wants to compete for the football and come out on top.you have to possess that winning ATTITUDE in order to be elite,period.

physically...speed is a plus but overrated if you can't place your body in the correct position to fend off the dB and hang onto the ball.

i see a player like Devin Smith and think to myself...this kid has it.

I honestly think Gettleman would have taken OBJ over Watkins if we had a higher pick. I remember him specifically saying in the post-draft press conference, when asked about KB's rawness, that the only receiver in the class that wasn't raw was OBJ.

On second thought, whatever traits OBJ has, I'll take those in our next receivers.

Justin Hardy?

I am going to be honest, I am more interested in O-line than WR. I don't think our WRS suck as bad as some of you guys.

Sure some speed and playmaking is always welcome, but building a great o-line eliminates a lot of our offensive issues in one swoop

 

Do both? We could make a thread about offensive lineman too but this one is for WRs!

 

I do think it would be foolish to enter the season with Philly as a clear cut starter. 

[KendrickPanther]

I want a receiver with good hands and the ability to separate. Obviously you want a guy that can do it all but I would specifically like a guy that can keep the safeties deep with game breaking speed. But getting open accomplishes nothing if the ball hits the ground so you need the hands too. 

 

I wouldn't mind a physical receiver like Brandon Lafell too. I think our offense lost something when he left. He could run physical reverses and block. He caught the ball too but the physical play was the best trait he had.

 

I wouldn't even mind a Tavon Austin type receiver that can be a special teams playmaker and a wrinkle on offense. 

[WOW!!]

Yeah I wouldn't mind getting 2 new WR'S this year. A fast one and a another big physical 1.

I be a little pissed if Bersin makes the team next year.. That would mean we didn't bring enough option and better competition. .

I remember that one too. It's good to know Gettleman was on the right track in his analysis...even before the season began!

being able to create separation
