Why Not Draft a WR?

Recommended Posts

We do need a WR. We have no potential #1 next to smitty who these fans have a hard time accepting his inevitable aging. Besides oline there is no other need on offense and if we are going with Otah, WR is the #1 need. Why in the hell would you bank on Gettis? I want a WR but it's far from the top f the list considering the entire team and not just the offense.

We don't need a WR this year and maybe not next, but what then? We need a real #1 with Cam, and someone Cam can grow with. It's a little short sighted to say we have no need for a WR when there is zero #1 material on the team.You don't draft a WR when you immediately need one, they can take a couple years to develop. Blackmon will be gone at our pick.

I know we have Steve, Gettis, and Brandon but after that who do we really have? Other than the TE and RB. Somebody with sure Hands that we can use for pick plays, Cross Routes, Etc. Just a thought.

let me see if I can spell this out appropriately...

your question is asking why don't we need another receiver after naming 3 guys who will be starting along with a solid backup in Naanee and ignoring 2 main targets in Olsen and Shockey (2 more "WR"), so why aren't we in need of drafting another receiver despite this sport requiring 21 starters (a team game) and having holes all over the defense and a need to shore up the OLine?

I think our whole draft should basically be defense. WR is a need but I think we have a cometitive enough offense to wait and see if Gettis will step it up this year.

Still the time for a new #1 WR is going to come and I hope Hurney is prepared because he is god awful at picking WRs and he should start while there is time.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
