We need one of those guys who excels at getting open in the middle of the field. Doesn't have to be 6'4" or run a 4.4, just a guy who understands getting open and can do it regularly. Somebody who can bail out Cam consistently when nothing down field is available, even if its just 8-10 yards completions. Olsen has kind of evolved into that guy but if we could get a WR who might make someone miss occasionally it might add another element to the offense. We will also need to have an offensive philosophy that allows us to utilize such an individual

Id like to think by addressing the WR issue that would allow Smitty to fill the role you're talking about.

Andre could be exactly what Boldin is to Kap to Cam.

AJ is a year younger than Boldin. Draft two receivers still though, let them learn from Johnson and Smitty and have a solid rotation going.

If you would have Asked me this question last week I would have said no, have to get younger. But Johnson still has "it" like Boldin. This would also allow Smitty to work the slot. Plus Johnson is a guy like Smitty that Cam could trust from day 1

 

Exactly. I would get Andre for exactly the reason you said. He would produce from day one and be trusted. I would then go draft a WR in the second or the third round.

But he has to be big and physical. Let's be honest Cam LOVES to throw high.

None of those guys are worth giving a lot of money too. The only free agent receiver that has made an impact recently or lived up to his contract  is Vincent Jackson. All the top receivers in the league right now have 2 or 3 years experience. We need to stop beating around the bush and just draft our guys. I would rather go O line in FA anyway, that list is better.

I agree that he could be deadly in that role for a couple more seasons.  His years of consistently stretching the defense are coming to an end but putting him in the slot and letting him kind of freelance his way open based on what the defense is giving him could be pretty effective, IMO.  Only, however if we have somebody on the outside that must be respected or moving him inside will be a big waste of time.  There is nobody currently on the roster who does that.

Someone who gets open. If Nicks can be grabbed at a decent price I'm all for it. Please to all who constantly rag on "bad attitudes" some of you all wanted to throw Mitchell off of a bridge after he had his way with Cam last season. 

 

Now he's one of our more beloved players and had a an amazing year. Sometimes a change of scenery will do a man good.

 

This team CANNOT afford to go into another year with Smith as our offensive focal point. Lafell can go too. Ginn has multiple uses and catches nearly everything thrown at him.
