Why Not Draft a WR?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Because Gettis is coming back next season. LaFell, Smith, Gettis, then Olsen and Shockey. You don't need any more WR.. You could wait for next years draft. Right now the Defense is the problem. CB and DT are major concerns.

[TheMostInterestingMan]

The reason is because we had a top 10 Offense and a bottom 10 Defense last year. Plus this class is deep at CB. Thus that is my vote. If I could pick any player from the draft to put on our team, he would start with a Morris and end with a Claiborne. Kid will be a damn good player.

[Cat'sGrowl]

If Blackmon were on the board, this coaching staff has shown they would consider him. This isn't the Fox era.

That said, he likely won't be, and the defense is bleeding.

And did you really start this thread off by saying "I know we have three good receivers but..."??

[rayzor]

we had the worst D in the league but one of the best offenses in the league so we go......offense? :lol:

just as bad as the idea of picking defense last year with the first overall after having the worst offense in the league.

So you automatically pick a player who is essentially scouted to be a lesser talent merely because it's not the side of the ball you need?

Smith is a game changing WR, but is in the twilight of his career. LaFell has looked like a solid possession receiver.

Naanee is a FA, Gettis had a decent rookie year, but with the previous coaching staff and has had a major knee injury ending his season. Shockey is a FA.

We could end up with Smith, LaFell and Olsen as our only recognised receivers.

You just can't rule it out, if the right player is there. Especially considering first round DTs are...not exactly guaranteed to play well in their first year.

oh dear.

and your defense would still suck.

aside from elite talents like blackmon and kalil, there really isn't any offensive player that would be worth passing up a top defensive pick, imo.

true, but i wouldnt pass up on a WR in the 2nd or 4th because we need defense.

[CPF4LIFE]

Naanee is a free agent, we dont even know if he is gonna get resigned or not.

Not nec.

We've got a lot of players experience this year and a heck of a lot of players were in their rookie or sophomore years. We should see at least one or two make progress into being legitimate starter material.

However I am not looking at it from that point of view. Rivera and co have made numerous comments about adapting to the league and how its about scoring points that keeps you as a perennial contender.

If you can keep up a playmaker, then you basically can ignore offense for the next 1-2 drafts. Considering we were winning at the half in virtually all our games this year, I can see our FO looking at ensuring our offense can continue to control games.

I am not writing any position off bar the obvious and I am certainly not going to mock or think anyone is idiotic if they think we could take a WR. No one knows what will happen between now and the draft.

[Disinfranchised]

Maybe late. D is where the problem is. Just imagine having a killer D as well as the O we ALREADY have.

[beastson]

You mean we need a Hakeem on our team?

Well yes we do

Bpa

[Keep Pounding]

Don't we still have Darvin Adams? And Pilares, with LaFell Smith and Gettis I think we are okay with our wr core until next years draft, we need cb, lb, and safeties....
