Klomp Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 So right now, our WR corps is.... Adam Thielen Stefon Diggs Laquon Treadwell Stacy Coley Cayleb Jones Brandon Zylstra Thoughts? Would this be a spot to add a special teams/return guy for the last spot on the active roster? Draft or FA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Wouldn’t be surprised to see a top three round pick at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWG VIKE Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I could see a WR taken in the draft earlier then later as well, we need to prepare for if we are not able to lock up Diggs as his contract is going to be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klomp Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I don't want to completely dismiss the possibilities for Zylstra, even if he'll probably get a year on the practice squad. I actually really like the potential of all our 4-6 guys, even though they maybe aren't household names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kparty15 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing in Tavon Austin as a return specialist if the price is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft or FA? Great top two. Very thin after that. I am glad some of you have seen things to give you faith in Treadwell but I have no faith in him. I hope those of you that still have more hope for him than I do will end up being right. I know very little about judging WRs other than seeing if they are getting separation and if they are making the catches thrown there was. Treadwell has a lot of trouble separating and hasn't been great catching the ball consistently when it is thrown to him. My only reason for hope is my belief that some people here know a lot more than me on the topic. I don't know routes well enough to tell you if a WR ran the right or wrong route. I can only judge how clean they are with their cuts based on whether they make DBs look silly; not based on actually watching the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thielen, Diggs and Rudolph accounted for over 60% of the team's targets last year. I know the perception was that Keenum didn't look elsewhere, but I also think a team's top options will always get a bulk of the targets. I don't really see that dropping, especially since that includes the two missed games from Diggs. From there, it's up to the other options to be productive in their somewhat limited opportunities. Opportunities for targets will open up with McKinnon's departure (68 targets in 2017), but a bulk of those will likely go to Cook, who was on pace for a similar target share before his injury. Another chunk of targets are also available after the departures of Wright and (I'm assuming) Floyd. Those could be handed to Treadwell, one of the other young guys, or even spread among the top three options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more just the fact it was fixed to get them open. It will be the same, but now if they aren’t open Cousins is good enough he won’t have to be forced to just have to make the throw to one of them.
