Should we draft two WRs in the first two rounds?


Recommended Posts

For awhile I have been hearing how we should draft a WR and defense in the first two rounds, and up until today I also thought that, but after thinking about it longer, why not just draft two WRs in the first two rounds? I know the initial thought seems absurd at first but really think about it..

This draft class is extremely deep and strong (I know, que the Thas What She Said comments) at WR, I could see Keenan Allen, Patterson and Hopkins, atleast one or two of them in the 2nd round being avaliable. Just imagine how beastly it would be if we drafted Tavon Austin in the first and say a Keenan Allen or Hopkins in the 2nd round. You have to admit, the thought of that gets you excited.

Just think, Smitty has two years tops left in his career. In two years we could have Tavon Austin/Hopkins as our number 1/number 2 and Lafell as our number 3. You have to admit, that is one hell of a WR corps.

Also think about this, is there any DT that will be avaliable in the 2nd round that will be potential game changers? I personally dont think so. And the talent drop off is pretty huge with O lineman as well. The bottom line is, we have worked out a ton of WRs, could it be possible that Gman is looking to double dip and solidify our WR corps for the next decade?

This is the deepest WR draft class in quite some time and wouldnt be mad whatsoever if this happened.

Not dogging you opinion but I would be fuging furious if we did that stupid poo. Do you people think we can add 4 Wr and score 80 points a game or something? It doesn't work that way.

Examples:

2012 Saints - Great fuging offense no defense 7-9 record.

2011 Panthers - 5th ranked scoring offenses bad defense 6-10 record.

You know. I made a comment about this but it was all in good fun. If we take a WR in both the 1st and 2nd Adams, Pilares, and any WR we picked in the past 3 years would become a waste.

I love Adams, but $hit I would cut him loose with AE, Gettis and Pilares and go with a corp of 89, LaFail, Hixon, Ginn (ST?), Keenan, and Hunter.,

no because if they don't score every time they have the ball. We have to watch Fua and a horrible secondary get crushed.

I'm just trying to put some life into this thread, but what if we change Sione Fua to Sione Pouha, Keenan/Hunter (1/2), and get a guy like Shamarko Thomas in the 4th? We have to agree that on paper, we have a already better defense than last year with an improved secondary. If we can add Pouha and Thomas, the defense dramatically improve. Maybe, we could go two receivers after all.

    • I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move 
    • While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen. 
    • Taylor Moton also slipped and missed his block entirely  The oline”s performance was less than stellar in the 4th qtr
