Mayock suggests a certain kind of receiver

[Hoenheim]

I wouldnt mind another big bodied WR (right now we only got funchess .. Byrd, Samuel, Clay all under 6' and Russell Shepard sucks/shouldnt be on the roster when season starts) 

We just cant start both the new drafted big WR and Funchess at the same time, unless this dude has rare speed for a big guy . 

What we really need is a dude with good size he doesnt have to be huge (maybe 6'0'' to 6'3'' ) , and he can run very good routes, has good speed, and most importantly just gets open consistently but can also when 50/50 balls. Basically a really well rounded WR in term of skillset who can be our #1 or #2 guy on the outside. We cant just role with Funchess and a bunch of nobodies (yes I could Byrd and Samuel as nobodies until they can prove to me they can stay healthy and contribute for a full season).

You can get that fast tall wr in FA for cheap...my breakout pick...Jeff Janis

Absolutley he was amazing.  His speed is crazy and he will catch over the middle too.  I like Chark.

I watch Ridley and see him ducking outta bounds quite often.  Just a nugget there.  Not sure he likes contact.

BTW...I have gone back and watched Freeman more and damn he is good.  Amazing workload at Oregon but he a big, fast tough dude.  We could do worse.

Reminds me of Martavis Bryant

If we assume the worse...that we have Funchise and a bunch of dudes, a total remake could be in order.  Just saying.  No one else has proven anything.

Tall fast WR?

Terelle Pryor is sitting out there and could be had for cheap.

Tall is okay, big bodied is okay. Slow is not okay.

Drew Brees has done more with less. Hes a little full of himself.

Why would Mayock think this? The two biggest WR seasons for the Panthers under Cam were both by Steve Smith. Ginn was our leading WR in '15. Ginn and Brown were #2 and #3 in '16. CMC led the team in receptions last year.

Cam has shown plenty of ability to utilize smaller, faster receivers and the "twin towers" experiment has already failed.

Yeah, if he was a Jet, he'd have his hat in his hand

he is just going by Norv Turner and the Coryell offense

big receivers and strong running game has been the history

sound familiar?

What is St.Brown speed like from Notre Dame?

Of the big tall guys, he looks the fastest. Could be Norv's next Vincent Jackson.

Funchess pretty much whiffed on that pass to him in the enzone in the Saints playoff game.. If he had made more effort to try to catch the ball he might have gotten a pass interference call. In some fairness to him I don't think he should have even been out their ...you could clearly see he was hurt and he had been hurt for some time. I blame the coaching staff and front office for not bringing in a vet when the KB trade was made. He could have learned the simple routes Shula calls very easily.

[Jay Roosevelt]

We already have that guy in Funchess, who is a perfect fit for Norv's offense, IMO.

I think the notion that Cam needs big bodied possession receivers is just off-base, TBH.

Cam's best year - that saw him win league MVP - was when he had smaller, quicker receivers like Philly Brown and Jerricho Cotchery + a top deep threat in Ted Ginn to go along with a bigger bodied rookie Devin Funchess. The truth is Cam just never seemed to be quite as good a QB when KB was his #1 wide receiver.

I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a guy like Sutton in the 1st round as he has better speed and runs better routes than Benjamin did and is more of a balanced receiver than a big possession guy. I also like Equanimeous St. Brown a lot.

But honestly, I'd rather us use free agency or trade to address our immediate need for a day-1 starter opposite Funchess by signing Marqise Lee or Paul Richardson or trading for Martavis Bryant.

That way we can draft a young WR if the right guy falls to us, but we also won't be desperate enough to reach for a wideout when there are better prospects at OL, DE, or DB on the board.
