So who do you want with our 3rd overall pick?

[HeatCheck]

We have Otah? Come on now, he is not dependable.

Considering how well Gettis played last year and the promise he showed with Clasuen means a lot.

WR is not really a position of need. It's always nice to upgrade but we have young WRs, not like they are on the tail end of their career.

Other needs like CB, DT, OLB, OL are more pressing.

Steve Smith going down still.....like it always has been....would be the most crippling loss for this team to deal with. Eventually, that has to change

Yeah but it doesn't have to happen this year considering there are other needs that need to be addressed. We have young WRs in Gettis and LaFell.

please, you still have to have remotely functional QB play (see Clausen last year - and how Smitty and Gettis both sucked with him at QB).

To suggest Manning would have carried the Colts all these years with MARVIN HARRISON and Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark is just silly.

Patriots are ahead of the curve.....they aren't doing it with just Welker. They are on board with the hybrid TEs now.....and Hernandez and Gronk are BEASTS. They are masters of the mismatch. All 3 of those players create them.

Greg Jennings is one of the best WRs in the game. You suggesting he is just some roleplayer?

Your defense is that NE has hybrid TEs! I love how you like to ignore the Panthers have the same setup but applaud NE for it.

Its proven great WRs dont make a team QBs do. Ask Drew Brees or Phillip Rivers.

Ok so its ok for Green Bay to do it but WE MUST GET WR!!!!! It totally makes since now.

Like I said before your so ignorant it like watching a monkey play scrabble.

No point is Cam is young and Steve Smith is not. Can't continue to delay finding the next Steve Smith.....which we have largely flat out ignored the position. Need to eventually go get that stud to replace him.....time is now IMO.

Steve Smith is 2nd in Receiving... Yea damn that old age! Oh btw where is Julio Jones and AJ Green?

or Gettis could just be another Colbert.....a flash in the pan. Gettis isn't an all around WR (at least he hasn't shown that type potetnial). I also think he benefited as a rookie from a complete lack of respect for him and Moore throwing him the ball.

Or he could be the next Mike Wallace but both are speculation. Its also laughable to say he didnt have respect when he was our #1 WR and matched up on the best CB most of the year. Once again you just are completely wrong.

Blackmon has more potential to be an elite WR. To act like Gettis has shown potential to be a legitimately great WR is homerism.

To act like Blackmon is better than a Proven NFL WR is extreme Homerism and is laughable as well. Blackmon has not even taken a snap in the NFL so he is not better and to say anything else would be just ignorant

everybody keep bringing up David Gettis like he didnt tear a ACL. he might not get back to full strength so you dont know WR could very well be an another need.just like with Hogan, we dont know were he is until he gets back on the field next year.

Even if that's the case, is WR really a problem this year? Take into account we utilize our TEs in the passing game as well.

We have Otah? Come on now, he is not dependable.

I didn't say just Otah. You go get a good RT in FA....and you have him and Otah. That makes the RT position solid. You don't have to spend a boat load of cash for a good RT.

But Otah is not dependable. We have Otah now,what is he doing for us?

Getting a starting RT through FA is all good but don't include Otah in picture like that makes it better.

Im not saying Gettis is a lock and it going to come in and be great. Still We have LaFell after him so I dont see WR being a First round need. Also if your going to look at it that way then LB should be our first need because Beason's and Davis's injuries are much more significant.

Blackmon has superstar potential.......David Gettis with his rookie season int he books has never shown to have the ceiling. Also, as a rookie he didn't look to be an all around WR and is coming off an ACL injury. David Gettis going forward could be completely irrelevent.

People hype Gettis into being potentially something he has never given them reason to justify such hype.

Gettis and LaFell have roleplayer written all over them.....pre-draft and as of today. If we are building this offense around Cam.....it is dumb to go looking for his stud WR when Smitty gets hurt. If Cam becomes our franchise QB.....Steve Smith's window is mostly over.....we will have to find him a NEW stud to throw to. You don't wait until Smitty is done to go find him....

Steve Smith gets it. In fact he has preached it to the organization.

But Otah is not dependable. We have Otah now,what is he doing for us?

Getting a starting RT through FA is all good but don't include Otah in picture like that makes it better.

Agreed, Otah and Davis are not dependable at this point but I'm not giving up on Bell. Yes he has looked bad but he is a undrafted rookie playing in a pass offense and getting picked on. I would expect him to get better with a year of training and conditioning.

Still with all that said its hard to pass up on Kalil if he is there when we pick.

Ok go ahead and crown the guy off of a Collage Carrer. Guess what Roy Williams was supposed to have Superstar potential... Gettis was a low round pick that excelled without a QB to speak of. Also if your going to say injuries make people irrelevant that dont worry about WR we are picking LB first because Davis and Beason are done! Damn those injuries no player has ever made it back from them. :rolleyes:

Not crowning him.....just acknowledging Blackmon is like an AJ Green. You know coming in he has the skill set to be a potential superstar. Not many do coming in.

I mean if you are taking the arguement that undrafted player X has caught an NFL pass therefore he has the same potential as someone like Blackmon......that seems a tad silly.

Blackmon simply has a better and more diverse skills set than Gettis did in college. He is a signicantly better WR in college than Gettis was. Gettis is pretty much the guy we drafted.....

Gettis is not the type player Davis and Beason are. Both are better at there position than Gettis has proven to be by large margins.

People got too caught up in a couple deep throws to Gettis....even last year I thought LaFell had the better overall skill set than Gettis and it showed (LaFell's hands just came and went).
