Ragnar Danneskjold Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Or barring injury,will the 11 personnel be Adams-Cobb-Graham-somebody else (i.e. Allison/Yancey/Clark/rookie)? James jones had 47 receptions for 676 yds as a rookie, which given the massive negative reaction from fans on draft day to his being picked, was a pretty good year for a rookie. Rookies can provide reasonable production as a #3. Just like having Finley or Cook in the lineup, adding Graham to the mix in 11 personnel should really make the job of the #3 a lot easier. I think the real question at this point is how much of his old form does Graham have left, and can he stay healthy in order to provide that boost to the offense.

Adams-Cobb-Bennett-Nelson Adams-Cobb-Lewis-Graham Probably the first one because Bennett was a much better receiving threat than Lewis is. Three guys on the perimeter are a horse a piece. If you told me the second choice allows me to have Muhammad Wilkerson on the team, it's that one all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont currently have that 4th guy IMO. You don't think 1 guy out of what 6 or 7 receivers below Adams and Cobb will emerge out of this group as the 4th guy? Even if they aren't the talent of Dez or whomever else I have a hard time believing none of them are gonna turn into something. Hell i think many teams would be satisfied with Adams and Cobb as their top receivers. Look at New England they consistently don't have 1 or 2 big name Receivers every year.

Not sure what the receivers have to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we didn't, Graham + Wilk = Jordy's 2018 salary. Burnett wasn't on the books at all for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaegybomb Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 That's a dumb way of looking at things. Jordy's 2018 salary was some fictional number that means nothing. It's a hell of a lot more logical to look at what they actually got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaegybomb Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 A chance down the road. Very unlikely they contribute a ton as rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams-Cobb-Bennett-Nelson Adams-Cobb-Lewis-Graham Based on last year’s sample size? Adams, Cobb Lewis and graham. Nelson didn’t make up for Bennett. I think Lewis/graham will be a better more consistent pair then Bennett /Nelson. Id also hope McCarthy runs more England size two tight end sets. Plus given the body types we are bring in and drafting... they just want to have a basketball team for pass catchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
