WR at 28 Question

[davos]

Let's say the top-5/or guys talked about a lot are gone by 28:

 

Watkins, Evans, Benjamin, Matthews, and Lee

 

This can definitely happen imo because you have the Lions, Jets, Ravens, Colts, Redskins (if they trade into R1), and Chiefs at the very least who need wideouts pretty bad (albeit a few worse than others so they may not all necessarily take a WR).  Also, there's more than one wideout needy team past us that could trade up for someone.    

 

Now out of the remaining crop, would you take any at 28?

 

Most notables:

 

Allen Robinson

Odell Beckham Jr.

Brandin Cooks

 

I know it's dependent on what other guys are available but would you be content with any of those three at 28?

 

Not asking if you'd take them over an available CB, OL, or whatnot but if you would take a wideout outside that top-5 at 28.

Beckham Jr. and Cooks I would strongly consider. Would depend on how the rest of the board fell. I would go Beckham Jr before Cooks. He plays big despite only being 6'. High points the ball great. Has more than enough speed to be a deep threat, and gives you production as a returner as well. Not to mention his hands can engulf footballs and his catch radius is insane for a guy who's not 6'3 +.

 

Not a fan of Robinson in rd 1. He doesn't stand out enough in any area of his game to be a building block for an offense imo.

Content? I'd be ecstatic if we came away with OBJ or Cooks at 28

[davos]

I've really warmed up to OBJ recently.  Think he'd be a great addition.  

 

His best plays are coming up or deep for those long balls and he can really outplay CBs on the physical side of things.  Also, he doesn't seem to give up if a play is extended.  Those type of strengths fit well with Cam.

My favorite is Robinson of those 3.

My favorite is Robinson of those 3.

 

I really want to like Robinson and I'm likely missing something because scouts and a lot of people like him...but nothing jumps out to me.  He body catches a ton and kinda reminds me of Carlton Mitchell from a few years back.  

 

I've seen some nice highlights however so am not completely dissing him.

Wouldn't be crazy for any of those guys at 28 but OBJ would be my favorite. Although I think he's more a second round guy.

i would have to go with Odell all the way. they guy had over 1000 yards WR, and over 2000 all purpose yards. Cordarrelle Patterson didnt have that many yards last year, and he went 28 to the vikings. he had a huge impact for them as well, returning kicks, running the ball, and playing WR. Odell plays larger then his 6'0 height, has huge hands to catch away from his body, vertical speed and YAC ability.

 

another name not being mentioned is Davante Adams from Fresno St who could have a late 1st round grade.

If 5 WRs are gone by our pick at #28 we will take another position. Most likely OT, OG, or CB

[Dex]

Cooks. How is this up for debate?

[Untouchable]

Would be happy with any one of those 3. It would be tough to find more dynamic players than cooks and obj this year.

Cooks. How is this up for debate?

 

Because I think the 3 are close running and are 3 very different types of players.  What sets Cooks apart in your opinion for what we need?

[jdpanther5]

Of those? Probably Robinson, though OBJ is growing on me. I also really like Abbrederis and Moncrief if those other guys are gone.

I don't know if I'd take all of them at 28, but there's about a dozen really good prospects in the first two rounds.

I doubt five go before 28, and I'm sure a few of those dozen or so will still be there at 60.
