Let's talk WRs

Good question!

At this point I've accepted that the top 3 WR's will surely be gone before we pick at 18, and the only WR in the first I'm in favor of is DGB. He might be too much trouble for a 1st, and even he could be gone by the time we pick at 18. So many good WRs in this draft we are better off looking for #2 in the 2nd or 3rd.

For certain at least one of these guys will be available...Dorsett, Agholor, Greene, Hardy, or Lockett

Maybe even Smith or Perriman

I like Austin Hill a lot!

I can see about 8-9 of them going before our 2nd pick.

White
Cooper
Parker
Strong
DGB
Perriman
Dorsett
Agholor
Smith

Coates and Funchess may be in that mix as well, although I agree they're after your list. And that's when you start to get nervous about waiting until the 3rd to get an impact WR. Will Lockett, Hardy, McBride last until our 3rd round pick?

I don't think Funchess goes that early, too much bad tape and very poor showing at the Combine.

I doubt we pick DGB at 18 so assuming the top three are off the board a trade down and a pick of Agholor might the only way we get the WR we need.

I'm not sure what to make of Dorsey's comments on WRs that Planetdoc linked to.

On the one hand it makes perfect sense to only go after guys that fit your system. On the other hand, maybe your system sucks and needs tweaking a bit.

It looks like if Maclin wasn't around they wouldn't have pursued any WR. That's kind of troubling.

Like Emanuel Sanders last offseason

I'd be a lot more confident if we had Maclin and Sanders on the roster

I think the third is when we'll get a wr.

I can see Dorsey pulling the trigger on a super raw dude like Darren Waller with the 3rd round comp. He seems to enjoy projects.

I hope McBride isn't gone by then.

Would be ****ing stupid yet again.

Maclin is an upgrade, sure. But there's a reason teams carry 5 wide receivers usually. We have jack shit at WR after Maclin. Wilson looks promising but we still need another 2 receivers. Wait until the third and we're looking at table scraps and a player that likely isn't going to amount to shit..

Need time to throw if you're going to utilize those great WRs. But we've addressed some on the line too. I'd expect BPA at our pick between WR, OL and maybe DB and let the draft fall however it falls.

This...exactly right.

Maclin is the first step in building a credible receiving corps. Signing him does not mean we're done...not by a long stretch.

Wilson is a 3rd or 4th receiver. We need an elite receiver out of THIS draft.

2nd unless one of the top 3 falls. And then another WR around the 5th round.

Agreed.

Sammie Coates in the 2nd round because he's big, strong, fast, and not ready for the NFL.
