Why not Davis or Williams

There are a lot of people on this board that want us to go offense in the first but the majority of time the pick they want is Fournette and occasionally Howard.

Why not Corey Davis or Mike Williams?  I understand they might not be "rated" as high as Fournette but could they possible help our offense more?  Lets think in best case scenarios:  Fournette is the next AP and Corey Davis is the next Dez Bryant or Julio Jones, which helps our offense more?

Maybe Fournette has a better chance of reaching that ceiling but the idea of adding a true #1 to our offense is tempting.

Davis being from a small school and unable to workout causes me some concerns.

Mike Williams brings nothing to the table that we don't already have. We already have plenty of big WRs who can't create separation. Williams is basically a smaller, surer handed version of KB. I think he'll be a good player, I just think that we need SPEED at the WR position.

I kind of agree with you about Williams but maybe his ceiling could be more of a Fitzgerald type of player.  Hopefully Davis at least runs at his pro day.

I'm not saying either should be the pick, I just find it surprising that some are convinced a RB or TE will magically transform our offense but a WR wouldn't.

I have watch some draft breakdown of both players. Davis is considered the top WR by some and Williams is considered the top guy by others. Personally I like Davis. That dude is a straight baller. He reminds me of a poor mans Julio. Williams is like a Dez Bryant to me. Both are good players but if I'm picking I'm taking Davis.

I think Davis is the total package. Speed, hands, strength. I think Ross could get beat up if he lined up outside

He has speed once he gets going, the problem is when need someone with fast acceleration who can get open quickly

Ross is a Brandin Cooks clone, I think he fits our team better than those two.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
