Watkins is not a top WR.  Sorry.

would rather have Jordan Matthews and Mike Wallace.  

Watkins 58.7 ypg

Wallace 56.8 ypg

Matthews 52.8 ypg

i'm glad someone understands that. those are three development players with a veteran. We don't need another damn developmental receiver.

Agreed. We're too young in that department and we don't have the time to have one develop into something special. We have nothing but potential in the WR room. We need more than potential, we need actual results with a proven history.

And there's the proof. You don't need to overpay for that level of production.

I don't think we're going to break the bank, or get into a bidding war for any of the WRs that are available...but if, say Watkins wants to come home, we are actually in the market and are willing to spend to get it done.

“actually realistic” pretty much means likely 

No it doesn't. It just means it would make a lot or sense

Agree and I believe this is exactly what will happen.

Mike Wallace would be a great addition for us, also seems like the kind of guy who would love Cam's swag.  Watkins would be great, but I have a feeling he's gonna seek a big time payday that we can't afford.  Robinson would be great, but again, the question is the value vs how much we're gonna have to pay.  I think Wallace knows his time is shorter in the NFL these days, and just wants a good situation for him.

IMO, I'd love for us to sign Wallace and Pryor, then let them duke it out to make the roster with a rookie.  I think both of those guys could get incentive laiden contracts that would be easily voidable should they not make the roster, they both seem like guys who would bet heavily on themselves.

Watkins (24) has all the makings of a top wideout in this offense

Maybe so.  But he hasn’t shown it on the field and hasn’t proven he can stay healthy for long periods of time.  I just hate tying up that much of our cap on a guy like that.

Man I hope so.  Matthews had good speed as well.  He ran a 4.46 and runs great routes.  His numbers speak for themself.  I’d love to have him here.

Woo hoo we going to get another Russell Sheppard. Let's go Hurney!!!!

Uh in his career he’s only had one season where he didn’t play at least 13 games.
