Thoughts on Garrett Wilson (WR) at 6

[unicar15]

If we solve the OT problem then I wouldn’t mind it. He looks like Chase out there with his YAC ability. We’re at least a year away so might as well give Darnold/Cam all the weapons possible and go after a QB next year. Who knows…with elite weapons and a full off-season maybe Cam can actually do something.

I’m all for bpa whomever that is, but with Rhule idk if he has the ability to incorporate all those targets amongst those weapons if we did go wr at 6

Wouldn't get my hopes up on Shi making a major impact as a receiver. From Fitterer's comments, they really are trying to find a place him, and they're hoping that he becomes an adept punt returner or gunner. Shi needs to find his niche on ST. They apparently see him as a WR4.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not, that point was more about how our WR room is nowhere near set or this would equate to being a luxury pick. Shi getting as much, if not a bit more room to work than Marshall was rather concerning for Marshall.

Of all of the top rated prospects, a WR seems to be the least useful. WR at 6 would massively disappoint me.

My only thing is that I don’t see a guy we can truly get behind other than Moore but he’s not the type to take the top off a defense or slowly grind one into submission.

Marshall was strangely MIA even at the end of last year with Shi honestly looking more promising at times. 

It’s a need and getting a young stud, arguably the best offensive skill player in an entire draft could really sweeten things up for a new young QB. 

Just imagine a young duo like Stroud and Wilson similar to what CIN has in 2 former teammates. Could be a cool tandem to lead a new era.

I am a little bit afraid that Marshall might end up being a flat out bust.

I get that we have issues at QB but he was really underwhelming. I hated the pick(OL stan) but liked the player, so I am a little surprised he didn't flash more in 2021. 

But, I think taking a WR at 6 would be a very Matt Millen-esque move. We have so many critical needs at positions that adding a top 10 pick WR to a WR corps with a lot of committed money just doesn't make any sense. Even less so considering we don't have a QB.

Now, if we traded a QB, I might be persuaded with an argument but as it stands right now, WR is not a dire need nor makes much sense.

[Fright]

Not an insane idea. We’re stuck with Sam. Let’s build that oline and draft a stud who can make life for Moore and Rob easy.
