WR preference

So, lets take a look at Fox's WR drafting and compare it with free agency signings....

The Draft (WR)

2003: Rd 7 - Walter Young, Illinois

2004: Rd 2 - Keary Colbert, USC / Rd 5 - Drew Carter, Ohio St.

2007: Rd 2 - Dwayne Jarrett USC / Rd 4 - Ryne Robinson, Miami OH

Free Agency

2003: Kevin Dyson, Ricky Proehl

2008: DJ Hackett

Notable other signings: KeShawn, Mark Jones...urh....

(Note: This isn't much to work with)

So with this limited view on our recent WR transaction history, do you trust signing a free agent or drafting someone given how these studs have worked out? :)

It is clear that the more experienced guys we picked up had the best success. This shows that we don't teach our wideouts too well here and I would much prefer getting wideouts in both the FA and draft. We need to create a safety net to void any potential duds (much like what we have done at the Dline), which is likely to happen.

the WR college scout should have been on the same Amtrak as Crossman......

NO DOUBT

That is a pretty sad list.

Just read the article on Jacoby Ford. As soon as they compared him to DeSean Jackson I was sold. Smitty and Moose/Jarrett with Ford in the Slot.

Add the awesome running game we have. We could bring back Frank Reich to QB for us and still win.

In my perfect world we would trade our 2nd round pick for Anquan Boldin and use the money we're saving by letting Peppers walk to give him a new contract. It would be almost impossible for teams to stop our running game if they had another WR other than Smitty to cover. I don't know if Jeff Davidson is creative enough to make it work but it sure is fun to think about. Too bad Fox and Hurney don't have the balls or the brains to pull off such a move, hell they still think Jake is good enough to be our QB... HAHAHAHAHA!

From what I am hearing about Jacoby Ford, he would be my preference.

Pstall, looking at that list, I pretty much think that some of us in the Huddle could do better than that. Kind of pathetic. Not exactly a stellar resume.

As much of the thought of teaming Boldin and Smitty together sounds good. I am not so sure that is a good idea. I think it has been well documented that Boldin has spent as much time on the IR as he has on the field.

In 7 seasons he has played 16 games only two times in a season. Out of 112 games he has only played 95. Basically missing an entire season. So we will pay him a full wage to sit out 1/4 of the season.

I think if he could stay healthy it would be a great pick. There is a reason Arizona is dumping him so personally I think we should say NO.

      Looking Way Ahead, But.

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.

      Chuba is a better back than Rico.

      If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....

      JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
