Re: Where are all the Recievers????
samarjdza is taller and WAY better than stoval but he might become a pitcher instead of an NFL WR, which would be sad... he's a game changer.
S Moss has the best chance at putting up numbers day 1, but may never be a #1 and requires a bit of a scheme change from normal NFL playcalling (more reserve and screens like CAR and WAS use). I think Holmes is the best long term prospect (taller santana clone with a higher chance to be a true #1 than sinorice), but might take a bit longer to get up to speed. Outside of that there's some big guys, but no one amazing. (J Orr is the fastest tall guy i believe, at 6'3")
I agree the draft sucks at WR, hence why i rather get better talent than drafting a potshot at a need. We could get a starter at G or TE eaily with our first pick and a bidwell like punter for the next 20 years, so i'm hoping we don't waste picks on WRs or DEs that aren't that great.
there'ss 7 TEs that would be better than royal, 5 or so would of which would be significant (almost guaranteed) to become the #2.
in the 3rd we can get mcclover at DE for a situational pass rusher (DE/OLB type thats pretty solid and bigger/faster than clemons who currently fills a similar role).
torp is a good punter, spencer is a VERY athletic guard (Which is rare) and could play tackle too, meaning he'd be our reserve starter for the OL and could even replace doc if he plays well enough (doc is big, but slow, this guy could possibly pull like randy).
we'll definately have a shot at good people, and i' prefer guys that have a high chance to make immediate contributions than guys that'd take a couple years to make good. if we want a starting DE that's a serious upgrade to wynn (who could then be our #2/#3 DT) FA is a much better option. by the time we pick we have undersized/undermuscled tapp who could eventually be good and little else... in FA we can get kampman and make it a done deal.
there's also safeties like greg blue and some decent nickel corners out there. We don't need an elite RB or QB or #1 WR and our D performs well enough right now that we can get what we want without a 1st rounder. I don't think greg blue would be a day 1 starter, but clark is good enough and it'd be a young body in the somewhat old db pool that could come in situationally until he can step up.
