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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
