Ok so this is in NO way me promoting grabbing these guys but given our WR group at the moment is:

Benjamin, Ginn, Funchess, Brown, Norwood/Bersin/Hill/Etc...

I can totally see us adding a talented rookie via the draft (Sharp, Doctson, Pharoh) but there's one thing it seems we like in each position group: A strong vet presence.  Ginn has been playing for a while but isn't the type that strikes me as a mentor type when it comes to routes and becoming a complete WR. 

So, if you had to choose between these 3, who would you go for?  They are all 34+ but it seems like they still have a year or two in the tank.  The other non-draft option would be a journeyman type in Hankerson, Mike Wallace, Andre Holmes, etc.

And I totally acknowledge we may go without a FA WR at all. 

edited bc I don't know how I forgot about Andre and what we're looking at in White.

Boldin is my top choice because he has played the position KB and Funch are learning and is high character man of the year winner.

White is a goon and would not be good for the young guys. Worst choice.

Don't know Colston's personality but he seems like a good vet guy. Quiet and maybe similar to Cotchery. He would be second choice.

To me it is a toss-up between Boldin and Colston. Which ever one is better in the slot would work for me.

Roddy White.  He is pissed at the Falcons and at Shanahan.      Gimme a pissed off,  highly motivated older WR,  over  the mellow older WR,  like Colston.

I believe White is going to have a much better season in '16,  than both Boldin and Colston.

He was terrible last year. Boldin was way better with Gabbert throwing the ball.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
