Desean Jackson is hands down a better WR than Ted Ginn and we're still trying to put speed on the field and create WR separation, right. Well here's how, according to this article on NFL.com, the Bucs maybe, maybe, releasing Jackson. I'd love to have him here...

I'd take him in a heartbeat and I know Cam likes him but the real question is will Cam's arm be healthy enough to utilize Jackson's speed? Plus where does Deshean fit into our WR room? He stealing reps from Moore and Samuel bc you know he wants to be the starter.

I hear you and I hope that Cam's arm is back to full strength for the entire season. If it is; Jackson, Moore, Samuel, Olsen/Ian Thomas and McCaffery. Dangggg

A couple years ago, would be all over it.  The questions surrounding Cam's shoulder, and our improved young WRs?  Not seeing the fit. 

This. With Moore and Samuel, I just don't see the point of spending valuable cap space on Jackson. I think we'll look to add a WR this off-season, but I think we'll probably look for a bigger target to replace Funchess.

Would have been nice about 3 years ago.  Now somewhat redundant.  

A team has just so much capital (cap space and draft picks).  At some point if you allocate too much of that capital to the same position or style of player you are devaluing your own players because there are only so many snaps/targets to go around.

Agree with LG and others.... no need for this type of WR with Cam's shoulder issues. A Funchess replacement that can be a big red zone target and balance our young, speedy guys is more important to me. I'd love Tyrell Williams from SD, but his price tag is probably going to be out of our range for the position. 

Cutting Torrey might help, but still have too many other holes to fill to justify throwing big money at Williams.

 I don't think that adding Jackson would lower the value on Samuels or Moore. Adding Jackson would open up the passing attack for them, much like McCaffrey does now. McCaffrey was targeted 124 times with a completion percentage of 86.3, highest on the team and he's a RB. We need a WR that makes the defense respect the position.

Let me get this straight you want to add a guy who is known for the deep ball, when our QB shoulder is in question for the immediate future?

Lets wait and see if Cam will be able to throw the ball 50 yards again, before we waste money on Jackson.

Also Curtis Samuel can stretch the field you know?

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
