Heath/melton/Doubs are more mirage than substance as individual talents. None of them are bad per se, I just wouldn't be that bummed if any of them were out/traded/cut Christian Watson has a lot to prove next year, and I doubt he does it. But he has special speed that shows up in the game. Reed is a bona fide guy getting better every game. Even if he has a slump next year I'll still be all in on him this time next year. Wicks is the enigma, and the one capable of pushing this from a "decent, ok to good group" to "possibly a great WR group" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with the Jennings, Jordy, Cobb, Driver, Jones, Finley group from 2011/2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get bigger Jayden Reed type to counter when Watson can't play. I wouldn't spend a high pick on one but it would be nice to have.

Gotta agree with Lodestar; that's a guaranteed 1st Rounder- maybe early 2nd if he plays in the FCS and has most of his collegiate career wiped out for outside reasons. At BEST you're getting that MVS-type in the later rounds, and we know how that song and dance goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a flyer if there was a guy they like later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was no slouch as a TE. Career ended early like Nick Collins, sadly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a flyer if there was a guy they like later. Fwiw, the one thing that would help Love/passing game is that defense-stretching deep threat. He can be a one-trick pony, provided that is the one trick. (Think MVS). Do you draft someone like that in round 1? Probably not. But in round 2 or later? Possibly. Watson is that and more, but if they eventually determine he has chronic hamstring issues, then they can't count on him, that important role goes unfulfilled, and the offense is hamstrung because of it, at least a bit. You need a backup plan. Are there any round 2 or later prospects in this upcoming draft that might be able to be that one trick pony? Perhaps. Maybe it's Legette, or Franklin, or Polk, or Walker? Whatever the case, I think having this role reliably fulfilled is a greater need than others may think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
