The WR Situation

Recommended Posts

I'll take Corey Davis in a trade back situation in the 1st.

After that, I have my heart set on Zay Jones or Taywan Taylor. Jones won me over at the Senior Bowl. Taylor had 10 catches for 103 yds at LSU in 2015 and 9 catches for 121 this year at Bama. Nuff said. Either one of them would be awesome to get.

I think we'll get a vet. You already know we're looking at Cruz. We'll also draft at least one receiver, as Gettleman already noted the deep slot receiver class 

I think we'll try to get some faster guys, so Zay Jones, Chris Godwin, Taywan Taylor and Quincy Adeboyejo will likely be my in play in the mid rounds. We might look at Cooper Kupp who is slower. 

I don't think any of the above go before the third unless it's Jones or Godwin.

First. Do not bring back Bersin and Brown, I will repeat this in every post concerning the offense or WR position. Team needs a slot WR that is quick, runs good routes, and has solid hands. I say look at Robert Woods or Victor Cruz in FA and then Ryan Switzer and Zay Jones in the draft. 

I agree. We have said again and again that we are targeting a slot guy this off season, we even hired Cotchery with that in mind. Woods should be cheap and would improve the slot (IMO) over Bersin and Philly. I'm not so sure what Cruz has left or how much $ he'd want, and would be short term at best. I really hope we can get Switzer late in the 3rd, and I've read some really good stuff and seen some good film on Jones. Where is he projected to get drafted?

I'm not sure about Jones because he did well at the Senior Bowl and had a good combine. I say he would go in mid 2nd- early 4th round range.

I knew he had good hands, but after reading this, he might go sooner than later. Could be in play at 72.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
