The_Romen Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 7 hours ago, Epyon said: As Beardown3231 pointed out above, Claypool actually BLOCKS too.... That alone could be MASSIVE on the perimeter with a shift little guy like Cohen coming out to the edge. I'd add, it's one of the reasons I'm so high on Mims as a WR too... the guy is a hellacious and unselfish blocker in addition to the WR talent. Grabbing say Mims, Claypool, AND a super fast and also Big RB/WR like Antonio Gibson could prove to become an absolutely LETHAL WR/Screen game..... and that's before accounting for having Robinson on the field and or Graham or Cohen. Either of them and Miller would spring a lot of guys. Miller can be a nasty blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I have only really looked at Pittman, Hamler and Mims and I would take any of those guys in 2nd with either pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pace was dumb to take Ridley last year with this class coming in this year. Poor foresight. I said so last year not knowing anything about these WRs because everyone was saying even then that this years class was going to be loaded. It wasn’t a secret. It was a rare case of you when shouldn’t go BPA. I don’t think he planned out last years draft well. He should have waited on RB even though I like Montgomery. That isn’t hindsight we talked about that a lot last year before the draft. If you wanted a TE you had to pick one with first pick. No one really had the Raiders guy on their radar. I never heard of him. I just was going off names given. I also think he shouldn’t have had to draft a TE last year anyway because he should have got one in FA last year.

That is why I like him as a chespiece. If you can get a lot of WR depth then he can double as the U TE too, if you get a good U TE then he can stay as a pure WR. He has the athleticism and size/strength for both IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You draft guys because you think they have a chance to start at a position. Unless it is late rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I think we have two good athletic oversized WRs in Patterson and Horstead. And a big WR in Wims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 We need either a homerun threat - Hamler. Or an all around stud like Pittman or Mims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant his body of work in ST just means he has shown enough physicality to handle the rigors of blocking, and he will learn to better use his size/strength to throw off press CBs too. Someone compared his blocking to Burton as neither was a TE in college, which was way off what he does. The guy is a much better blocker than Burton ever has been. He's be starting here immediately if he could get a grasp on the playbook IMO. Edited April 23, 2020 by Sugashane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great chance Claypool can do same with a limited offseason. And he has to beat out Horstead who played last year to get the reps behind Graham, Holtz and KC signee - forgetting his name.

With that said, WR would be a secondary need right now if Wims had shown to be a viable top 3 WR option in 2019 making Ridley a depth piece and far less consequential right now. Instead he was just a guy and is going to be fighting again for a roster spot. Moving forward I think we should be approaching the season as though Ridley and Wims are competing for 1 roster spot as a depth piece until either proves worthy of anything more.

I kind of agree... although I like Wims more as an X and Ridley more as a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
