Let's talk WRs - Page 37

Who's your top ranked receiver right now?

For me, the most pro-ready and best all around prospect at WR is Amari Cooper. He would come in and immediately start across from Bowe and eventually replace him as the primary WR.

What's wrong with Sammy Coates?

The guy has all of the tools in the world, I would equate him to Vernon Davis but at the WR position, but he hasn't produced much at all this season. Coates isn't even close to being his team's leading receiver so I'm not going to blame it on the scheme. Physically, Coates looks like a top 10 pick but his production is that of a mid to late rounder. Where would you take him?

Any thoughts on Coates' teammate, D'haquille Williams?

There is a massive difference in production between he and Sammy Coates so far this year; yes, this could be entirely due to Coates being injured from the Arkansas game but Coates only caught one pass in that game and dropped a possible TD pass despite playing 52 snaps against the Razorbacks. Williams is a JUCO transfer with good size, speed, and explosiveness, though not on the same level as Coates as far as pure physical ability goes. Is he a potential #1 WR or just a 2 at best?

Does DGB declare? If so, do you even dare to touch him given his off-field issues?

Despite not playing this season, I think that there is a real possibility that DGB does declare for the 2015 NFL draft; he just doesn't seem like the type of person who would be willing to go through another year of college over getting paid as a pro athlete. If he does declare, what round would you be willing to take a risk on him? The guy has had problems with at least two key NFL issues, abuse of women and weed. DGB has top 5 talent but an off-field reputation that would have him banned from the league if he had committed those acts as a Pro.

Do Jaelen Strong, Kevin White, or Devante Parker have enough speed to be potential #1 WRs? If not, are their other gifts good enough for them to be close to what Larry Fitzgerald has been in the league?

Is Stefon Diggs actually that fast? When I watch him, I don't see the same dimension of speed that guys like Jackson, Wallace, etc have. I'll be very curious to see what he actually runs at the Combine.

Who are you guys keeping your eyes on this year at the WR position?

Really wanted KC to draft Antonio Callaway in this past draft...thought maybe due to his off field issues, he'd go later than he did. If he can stay healthy, Browns/Dorsey got themselves a player. Broncos' Sutton is gonna be a stud too.

The Watkins signing is looking dumber by the week, and Conley is JAG, as is Robinson. I don't see the Chiefs making an extending offer to Benjamin unless he just goes off in the playoffs. All $ has to be primarily focused in keeping Tyreek Hill.

Wouldn't be opposed to taking a WR w/ Chiefs 2nd or 3rd pick, depending on who's available...I think this is kind of a "meh" draft class for WR's. And thanks to Hunt's stupid ass, this team now needs to be thinking about taking a RB in the first 3 rds.

Chiefs need D help everywhere though....bad :/

I wouldn't mind keeping Benjamin for 2019 if it can be done on a low risk or incentive laden deal, really depends on what he finds his market to be. If he does go off in the play offs then we probably can't afford him.

I think the 3rd round pick is where you start looking at the offense, I like Pringle but no harm adding another WR or RB or TE, we are going to have openings at all 3 so just take BPA

Give me Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the 5th round.

He's the only Longhorn in this year's draft I'd really want us to take.
