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.

    • This while he didn't single handily LOSE the game on any one play.....    He was a first overall pick, one we paid a fortune for..... the bar for him is a 10 foot dunk not a 5"8 children's rim.   32 for 49 for 287 with 1 td and 1 int in two games vs the worst team in the conference, two critically important games that we would be 9-5 and competing for the #2 if he had led us to victory....   Ive given him props for the TD to tet.... it was the best pass ive ever seen him make.....   But putting up these kind of numbers isn't up to par. Defenses stack the box and dare him to throw....  and he still puts up medicore at best numbers.    To win with Bryce young the entire rest of the team has to be absolutely perfect to make up for his deficiencies.... so while he didn't "lose" this game for us..... HE DEFFINATLY DIDNT GO WIN IT FOR US. (Which is the REALISTIC EXPECTATION)
    • His O is just built on taking repeated shots and that’s not BY’s game.  It was always a round peg and square hole…. But I also agree with your post.  I hate OC HCs.  Especially green ones.   I never liked anything about the setup 
    • I get that. He's also trying to do HC and OC this year which I think is just too much for him. I think it's hard to call plays from the sidelines. That view from up top helps them see what a defense is doing better. A few HCs can do it because they have the QBs and experience to pull it off. DC has neither. I think DC may have spread himself too thin and Bryce isn't the QB to be able to pull of his end of it either. How much they compliment each other in creating this offensive bleh, yet to be determined. Doesn't really matter because it's still awful.
