Depending on the draft unfolds there is a large possibility that a first round caliber WR won't be there when we choose.   There are some WR in the Free Agent Market that intrigue me.

 

Eric Decker  Denver 6'3" 26 ... Big WR .... #1 Free Agent WR (According to NFL.com)

 

A. Boldin SF 6'!' A bit older but tough as nails and would be a steal from NFC Rival.   But he is as old as Smitty 33

 

Kenny Britt Tenn.  6'3" and only 25.  I know injuries have hurt is value but still young enough to make a huge different if healthy.

 

Jeremy Maclin Philly 6'0" 25.  Was solid as a #2 to D. Jackson.

 

Hakeem Nicks NYG 6'1"  26 injuries has hurt him but probably would get a good discount for his hometown team.

 

Golden Tate Seattle 5'10" 25 what I like about Tate is every season he has improved.  Plus we could get the real reason Jimmy Clausen fell to us.

 

Anyone of these guys would be an upgrade over LaFell.   I think of the 6. Decker is probably my favorite.  Only one that isn't either old or coming off injury minus Tate..   Whether DG would come off the money for him would be the big question.

 

I would love to see him become a Carolina Panther.

Mighty weak selection.

 

Not much of an analyst are you?  Maclin, Decker, Boldin and Hicks weak.

 

Any one of these guys would be a HUGE upgrade over LaFell.   Sitting at 28 the chances of a TOP TIER WR in round 1 is very slim.  Oh you can reach and take a 2nd round prospect in round one.   Or you could take a smaller gamble and take on of these guys.

Emmanuel Sanders

Jericho Cotchery

James Jones

Mario Manningham

Jacoby Jones

Riley Cooper

Jerome Simpson

Andre Roberts

Dexter McCluster

Josh Morgan

I actually like the kid from the bucs Underwood big tall deep threat looked a nice player to me and would be cheap If Tampa don't bring him back, if be happy with him & McCluster plus a draft pick up at receiver, both cheap deals and McCluster is a good proven slot guy that people are talking about with drafting Brandon Cooks.

A lot on the list.  The ones I selected were ones that I thought would be surefire upgrades over LaFell.  A lot of those you listed may or may not be as good as LaFell.

I think gettleman likes the guys with something to prove, cheap on the cap players. And some of these guys are young and hungry, you have to ask how much nicks has left and how much will he cost, sometimes it's not all about what you have done is what you can do, a better line next year and whatever receivers we have they will do better but we need guys who can create seperation and catch, lafell just can't.

Did Decker play in the Super Bowl? Decker looks good because nobody game plans for him. he is the 4th option at best for Denver and is yet to prove in my opinion to be elite. so why pay him #1WR money in Carolina.

Jerome Simpson and Jacoby Jones are underrated talents. Kenny Britt is David Gettis' evil twin but this team could use some evil.

My list if FAs would be in order by want:

Jeremy Maclin

Hakeem Nicks

Kenny Britt

Jacoby Jones

Jerome Simpson

And when he gets cut Sidney Rice behind Britt

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
