No prospect screams "WR1" to me after cursory glance

[RumHam]

We need to draft the best Safety possible, sign a veteran corner (kyle fuller), and go after two capable receivers and not fuging Moncrief. He did nothing without Luck.

[Jimmy]

Go get Josh Gordon...our locker room veteran presence will benefit him...hes a fuging beast

Don't draft one. Sign a vet. I want Donte Moncreif, cheaper than some of the other names with high potential.

You were half way right.. right idea wrong player..

Give me a guy who has actually produced in the league this time..

Moncreif is like Sheppard was last year.. He might be good or he might be what he has been for Indy.. 

Give me a guy this time who actually put up numbers..

I’m a huge supporter of Lee. He will do well with Cam

Give me Allen or Landry .. They've produced in this league.. The position needs some Sure things not more ?..

No they are not better talent wise.

belicheck seems to prefer smart players that play hard every down, rarely make mistakes and get on Brady’s page.

The patriots are also much better at scheming than anyone— get the most out of what they have— also because those players play hard and execute smartly within their scheme.

Brandon Cooks couldn’t thrive in New Orleans and Brees is a great quarterback— but the Patriots so better scheming him in, and Belicheck just said Cooks never takes plays off even in practice— 89 was like that.

we don’t get a lot of that, and we don’t have coaches that scheme to get the most out of them either.

maybe Norv will change that, and of course the players we have need to be what I just said—- high motor, smart, low mistakes, don’t take plays off. This trumps talent. Most haven’t learned that so they all continue to be inconsistent

Huh? Cooks performed better statistically his last two seasons in NO than he did in NE this year. Back-to-back 1100+ yards/8+ TD seasons.

I haven’t dove into deep research mode yet, and my go-to source is still pretty bare right now (draftbreakdown.com) but what little I’ve seen on Ridley and Anthony Miller is intriguing. St. Brown also to a slightly lesser degree. Miller might be a bit smaller than what I’d prefer, would be great if we already had a good size #1 guy, but still a strong contender regardless. Sutton doesn’t interest me as much. Looks like another Jarrett to my eye so far,  up I’ve only watched a couple videos. Looks like he has good hands and height, but not the greatest routes or quickness. Keeping my mind open though, still have lots of breakdowns to go through til draft day.

I like to see if us focus our draft picks on positions that will need to be filled REAL soon.  Time to start grooming them while the vets that they'll be replacing are still on the team.  Good teachers.  So positions like DE, RB, LB, OL & Safety.  Focus on WR in the FA.  

[Zaximus]

This team needs to spend money on a legit WR.   Watkins, or trade for Gordon, whatever, but these Cinderella receivers that no other team wants is NOT cutting it.    Also, Greg is getting old and I'm not sure we can completely rely on him to carry the slack for too long.     In a dream scenario, Gordon/Funchess/Samuel/Greg/CMC would be nasty.

Well sure, but can we afford them?

[SOJA]

we have young talent at WR, we need an established veteran

[Saca312]

I agree. This class is awfully bad at top level talent. 

Tons of mid-tier guys across the board, but very few superstars at all. 

The knock with Calvin Ridley is age and market share. Not the best investment for a first rounde in the top 15, but feasible if he hits our 24 spot.

What’s interesting is Arden Key’s value plummetting like a rock. I know he was a beast the year prior, so I’m not sure what happened, but I definitely would look into him based on 2016 alone.

 How is his stock plummetting

[Cpt slay a ho]

Need to be proactive and grab a wr soon as free agency hits, no I’m not suggesting getting into a bidding war but don’t sit and wait as WR after WR gets signed. No need in “hoping” the right prospect falls to 24th or trading up for a unknown. Take control early and go grab a guy like Lee early in fa if guys like Robinson and Landry are priced out of our range early. I’d even suggest grabbing one of the guys coming off injury like Meredith or Enuwu as added insurance.
