I agree that we need a WR and I think Watkins is a stud--I also like Evans (Tex A&M) a lot--big guy with decent speed if we go with one in the first.  I also think taking a year to develop a WR is common.  I am not certain that we can afford to wait another year. 

 

I think we pretty much have to go LT with such glaring needs at both T spots.

 

The good news is that WR is deep.  I think Moncrief (Miss), Beckham (LSU), and Matthews (Vandy) would be solid potential #1 WRs in the second.

 

Will Gettlemen draft a WR and sign a veteran to a 1-year deal?  Prolly.

 

He will re-sign Ginn and Lafell.

I mean legit NFL player, that is a #1 in the NFL.  Name the last one that took 3 years to turn into a guy ready for the role.  

 

Roleplaying WRs generally are the ones that take time to develop.  Studs tend to studs in today's NFL IMO

 

I get you.  I think you are right, but I think this draft (especially compared to last year's) is so much better.  Considering that we have glaring needs at both T spots-(Gross could retire and Bell is nothing more that depth), I am hoping we can find that stud in the second round.

 

I think there are studs in the second round, and I think Gettlemen will draft one then and sign a vet to a 1-year deal.  However, If the top 3 Tackles are gone and Watkins or Evans is sitting there, I jump on the WR.

I think we will be picking in the second half of the round.  I expect 2-3 WRs to be gone, Watkins included.

watkins has some incredibly talent and a ton of upside.

lot's more to like about him, tho.

 

 

either WR or OT is the way to go in the first couple rounds, tho. i'm not really sold on any, but watkins just seems like the kind of guy the org likes/prefers.

WR class is going to be very thin this year.

 

Yeah probably overall, but there are some potential #1's in the first round imo with Evans, Watkins, Lee, and Matthews (especially Evans and Watkins). Really thin after the 2nd round though, so we'll need to scoop one up in the 1st or 2nd.

Great kid. He has gotten into a bit of trouble with weed and adderall (normal college kid stuff) but his dad probably kicked his fuging ass for that. I wouldn't expect anything else.

 

Mike Evans is also a big time competitor. Reminded me of Cam when he was in his interview after the Alabama loss.
