Our WR's going forward

Watching the WR Corp this season has made me realize a few things:

Smith still has the ability to be a game changer. He can make the big plays, and it was great that we kept him there.

Naanee was a liability at the beginning of the season, but he has become a solid backup. He still doesn't make as much of an effort as he should on balls that are not thrown directly at him. we often see throws that he could make an adjustment to either catch or keep away from a defender.

LaFell could be something special in the coming years. He isn't consistent and isn't getting all of the opportunities this season, but when the ball is thrown his way, he tends to make great catches and is quite adept at YAC. If he can get more consistent, he is potentially our future no. 1. Smith has already said before he is wanting to have another receiver to help take the responsibility.

Our wide receivers should be good for now. combine them with our RB's and TE's and we have enough offensive power for Newton to be a major NFC South threat for years. Next year's draft needs to be Offensive Line and Defense to solidify the team.

    • I also didnt think that Tepper was too involved. I think he liked to be engaged in the process but never did he seem to influence anything.  If Im an owner Im in the draft room as well. Hell I get excited about draft season in Madden if I can do it in real life.... 
    • I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.
