Will We Ever Get Our Number 1 Receiver In A Draft?

[top dawg]

This board is going to completely implode when the draft o-line in the first round. I will be laughing my ass off

 

I doubt it. At least I won't get sucked into the implosion unless we pass on a big, fast, potential beast with great hands that runs good routes.  We have passed on so many potential beasts at this point that it's to be expected.  I continue to say and believe that WR1 talent will definitely be available in round 2, and probably round 3.  It's all a guessing game. Everyone was on Tavon Austin's bandwagon and DeAndre Hopkins' bandwagon last year (not saying that it was not warranted), but who's to say that Keenan Allen, and, yes, Da'Rick Rogers won't end up being the better talents in the pros?  The Vikings traded up to get Cordarelle Patterson in the first, otherwise he may have lasted until the second round as well.

 

I have watched a little video, and I must say (again) that guys like Jaelen Strong, Brandon Coleman, and Jordan Matthews appear to have WR1 potential, and I don't believe any of them are going in the top of the first round, if the first round at all. Thats just a few. There are others.  I know that our sanctimonious FO would probably pass on him because of his history, but Chris Boyd, formerly of Vanderbilt could be available relatively late, but he looks talented as well. Benjamin and Moncrief are not necessarily first round locks either.

 

All that being said. If we go BPA in the first, it won't shock me.

I will go on record and say I was wrong about Alshon. I shall eat crow. Gamecocksmitty was right. So was...oh god. Growl was right. FOR fugS SAKE THAT STINGS!

I want to double dip on OL and take CB in the third just to watch you guy's heads explode.....lol

Gettleman would get fired, especially JR seeing this debacle of a wide receiving corps against the saints

 

too much talent in this draft to pass up

[Fan01]

I liked him a lot and thought that if he ran a decent 40 time we should get him.  He ran a sub 4.5 (4.38-4.4).  He looks slow because of his size but man can he catch.  Forget everything and just watch him play in college.  That's what sold me.

If we dont take a WR in the top 3 then idk whats going on 

 

 

 

Watch us take 2 o liners we will never use and a punter and pass up on allllllll the talent in the draft

[LinvilleGorge]

Before I start throwing a fit over the first 3 picks of a draft that's over 4 months away, I'll wait to see what we do in FA first.

[PantherFanOne]

Cause in Panthers legend theory. If you ignore a position long enough. Maybe just maybe it will become our strongest position.

 

Yep!!!!! All we have to do is have a 1-15 season and we can get the # 1 WR in the draft. Kidding of course. :)

Bout to watch Kennan Allen tear it up tonight. Third round pick by the way...

[Guest shitposting]

Did you guys see Keenan jump the fuging defender and push his way into the endzone?

 

This is fuging ridiculous, we need a new potential number one WR.

[TopCat]

Lmaoooo im crying. Tears of sadness... I wanted Allen so bad

[B.BERSIN]

Jarrett just scared us enough.

As a guy who lives in Tallahassee, Mike Evans > Kelvin Benjamin. Benjamin is good, but Evans is great. 

[Mistuh Jones]

Getts is going to clean up in FA this year. We're winning, we have Clark AND Kal-el, and people are gonna want to be a part of it. Draft is strictly BPA, so we'll see what we need when we get there fellas.

As a guy who lives in Tallahassee, Mike Evans > Kelvin Benjamin. Benjamin is good, but Evans is great. 

 

It causes me some concern that Evans has really tailed off coming down the stretch.  He only has one 100 yard receiving game in the last 5 games and his most recent outing saw him get completely shutdown by EJ Gaines of Missouri who is considered by most to be a 2nd/3rd rounder.  He caught 4 balls for 8 yards against Missouri.  I think he's a helluva talent, but he's not setting the world on fire the last few weeks after getting off to a great start.
