navysaintsfan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Ravens fans, know what you may be getting before you get too excited. In 2015, Willie Snead had 69 catches for 984 yards and 3 TDs over 15 games. in 2016, he had 72catches for 895 yards and 4 TDs over 15 games. In 2017 he had 8 catches for 92 yards, 0 TDs over 11 games. 16 targets on the year. At least a couple drops in there too. He was suspended to start the season after a DUI. 2016 and 2015 he showed very clean route running, great hands, and good separation. Coming back from the suspension, he showed none of his game skills. Couldn't get separation, dropped catches, and flat out disappeared for most of the year. I liked him a lot, but last season he fell hard. I don't think he is worth what the Ravens are offering, and I certainly hope the Saints don't match for that price. But I do hope he bounces back with you guys. He seemed like a good dude. Maybe a change of scenery will help him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Can he pass his physical before the Ravens realize Brandon Marshall was released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy, I understand the concern, but take a look at our WR group (sans our signings this year). Plus 2yrs 7mil base is a solid deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at your roster, and I don't recognize a single name past Crabtree Yeah, I guess Snead looks pretty solid in that company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Names that people know because they were effective at one point, but the teams they flashed with have all passed on them. The Saints went after Meredith because they obviously preffered him to Snead. The approach is just dumpster diving. You could apply this to any FA signing though. By virtue of being available, every FA’s team passed on them. That is unless you’re paying at the very top of the market. Hard to call these signings “dumpster diving” IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These signings this year are all low risk high reward signings. I still think they will go WR in round 1 or 2 as well in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 You can have him for that. I was hoping we’d get him about 3/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suggesting we leave more slots open for draft picks which will have the potential to be guys that teams don't view as expendable. An approach I would have preferred would have been to give Allen Robinson $14M per (or heck $16M) and having two more rookies, instead of $7M+5+5 for Crabtree, Brown, and Snead. It's not about the values of the signings themselves. We hit more than we miss with these. More have been on the Wallace, Boldin, Steve Smith, Mason side than the Maclin, Evans side. It's the quantity that bothers me. I feel like we should be adding multiple rookies at that position this year. But, these 3 are likely locks to make the roster, Perriman and Moore most likely will, and Tim White is going to be in the mix. I think we end up with only one rookie WR in the 53.
