Why i think well take a WR at the top of the draft

[Catalyst]

Patterson and Terrance Williams are the only WR's I'd be comfortable with in the 1st round.

While I agree both are fine receivers, Austin has the "IT" factor that people look for in players. His ability is unreal and I really feel like he would be sick in the slot for us. So dangerous with weapons like Smitty, Lafell, Austin, and Olsen.

At 14 neither one them or any wr in this draft is comfortable pick for me.

Patterson will be a legit top-15 ranked prospect by draft day.

How much money do you want to put on that?

I say he doesn't get picked in the top 20.

Would you have put money on AJ Jenkins going in the first round last season?

Like I said in a previous post, his size and speed will force someone to take him in the first round.

I'd put your wallet away.

How much you got? No way Patterson gets past Buffalo, Miami, and us. And that's not even bringing potential trade-ups into the discussion.

It seems like everyone that didn't think we needed a WR last year still doesn't this year. I stiil remember the Lafell is going to be a beast argument, the Cam is soo good he will make average receivers better argument...well here we are a year later and same questions. I'm not saying we definitely need someone in round 1(IF th players are there I would like an olineman and a WR in first 2rds) but we need to stop acting like guys we added in the 5th or 6th rd are the answer. If we grab a beast WR this year and then someone on the roster blows up too, that is a good thing not a wasted pick. Rivera has shown he can put a defense together with duct tape and toothpicks...protecting and developing Cam(legit receivers) should be the highest priority on this team. Rivera is a defensive wizard, that's his strongpoint. Lets face it on offense we are going to have to out talent/execute other teams.

Personally, I'd prefer we address the #1 WR spot by trading for an established player the way the Bears did with Brandon Marshall, but if we're going to draft one I'd like it to be Patterson or Williams.

I'm for Patterson or Allen with our 1st pick. We have got to get some playmakers, or as Gettleman calls em "Touchdown Scorers" , in here. We can go OL or CB in the 2nd, preferably OL.

Just looking at Atlanta, Roddy Julio and Gonzo make it so easy for Ryan. Gotta get Cam some toys in here. The WR's we have, aside from Smith and Lafell, are scrubs. Smith is on the decline, and Lafell is no more than a #2 who still disappears at times. I think this is the year we finally get serious about finding a #1 WR. Atleast, I hope so.

this. we were ranked 10th i believe in defense with this hole we have a DT and terrible FS play. This offseason should be ALL ABOUT CAM.

you have to put weapons around your QB.

I do think receiver is a need and I wouldn't be unhappy if we go that way. I could be okay with OT as well. But the biggest need next year will be a big physical corner to replace Gamble. With all the big physical receivers in the league and in our division, we need guys who can defend them 1 on 1. We can generate the pressure up from and have good linebackers. The secondary was patched together last year, now we need guys who can be there for the next 10 years like Gamble who will be leaving.

As for receiver lets see what Proehl can do with Adams, Gettis, LaFell, Murphy and Pilares. We might have the future number 1 already on the team.
