No prospect screams "WR1" to me after cursory glance

[Krovvy]

Stock plummets for a lot of players this time of year, but when the combine hits players shoot back up the boards.

Well sure, but can we afford them?

Yes...

And @*FreeFua*, viewing college tape only tells part of the story. Drafting, to a large degree, is about projection. That's why there are such big misses on guys like Steve Smith, Antonio Brown, or even T.Y. Hilton or Doug Baldwin.

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.. 

Moncrief was good when Luck was health. 4.4 40yd 6ft2.

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.

 He did better with Old Bald Man Hassle than Luck. 

In 27 games started, he has 19 TD (2014-2017).

Colts were a dumpster fire for the last 3 years.

Really, how? We wouldn’t be able to retain Norwell or star would we?

[Everfrost]

Outside of Ridley and maybe Sutton This is not a very good WR class. I hope for a FA pickup

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.

You are right. Oops 

well the bigger point is New England wanted a good receiver and got a young high motor smart player instead of trying to draft one.

any out there like that for the Panthers?

People are forgetting we do not have the cap space to get a top WR FA and the 2018 class leaves a lot to be desired.

Yeah, I think I would too. The suspensions give me pause but he sounds like he's learned his lesson. He'd be so nasty on this offense

You do not trade a first round pick for a habitual offender of the drug policies of the NFL.  

I would love to see Gordon on this team but there is no way in hell I would trade our 1st for him.  That is a Cleveland Brown move.

One positive test and he is banned Lifetime.

Come on!!!

I don't care if we retain Star.. We need to make cuts anyway.. We have really no money into the position and now it won't hurt..

Jarvis Landry 

Allen Robinson  

Are players who actually have produced with lesser QB in this league..

We need a sure thing at this point.. No matter what stats you put together.. Consistently he hasn't produced like a sure fire number 1 wr.. At this point he is a ? .. Whether he is anything more than a #3 WR..

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

But I should add that DM did catch me eye too.

The 2018 wide receiver class has some prospects,  don't get me wrong,  but from what I've seen thus far,  only Calvin Ridley is a first rounder.  He looks to be the most polished route runner with decent speed.  

I know some people have been saying Christian Kirk would be a nice addition,  and he might,  but he's a speed merchant first and foremost. Not saying that he can't master the whole route tree, but open space is where he will probably shine the brightest.  

It's early still,  and I haven't looked at any small school prospects,  but I'm thinking that nabbing one of the guys in FA is almost mandatory (and I could almost care less who it is, after looking at the draft class). 

If I were being honest,  at this point the guy that most excites me is Parrish Campbell. The thing is though, he is another hybrid that didn't play WR exclusively.  

This class is suspect in my opinion. I see second and third round material at best who could of course develop into more, but I don't see day-one starters (or draftees except maybe for Ridley). 

I would agree. A lot of #2 and #3 WR this year.

Landry provides a sure, consistent threat in the slot,  but A slot guy wouldn't  necessarily be the best use of resources (particularly an expensive one).  Moreover,  I wouldn't  say that Robinson has been any more of a "sure thing" than any of them.  Injuries have taken their toll,  but he's inexplicably disappeared sometimes. Not saying that this is a constant problem,  but Marquise Lee may end up the better value if both can consistently stay on the field.
