WRs in the draft

who likes who?

 

The only guy likely to be in our range I like a lot is Williams, and that still may take a trade.

Bryant is going to make some team happy, more so if the 'stock is falling' rumors are true.

 

I like Gilyard from Cincy. Doesn't have great speed but is a playmaker & a good kick returner. We solve 2 problems with this selection. Picking him in the 2nd round however would probably be a reach & I doubt he last to the 3rd.

 

williams is a good prospect, but i don't know that we go with another usc product. i'd also put him in that first group of guys that by either name or talent might require us to move up.

gilyard and shipley are ok, i just don't see them as being bpa when we pick at 48. gilyard might be more of project than shipley.

roberts is kind of inbetween. i don't think he's an adequate blocker, and he didn't play at a big program, both of which are minuses for us.

lafell should be a good fit. but are we looking for that type of wr now?

 

I saw one mock draft of the second round that has us taking LaFell from LSU.

 

I believe he compliments Smith very well, could easily play outside, and allow Smith to play the slot. Jarrett, if given the chance, could also line up outside in the 3W packages.

Not that this is a major factor, but he apparently almost aced the Wonderlic, which is comforting.

 

Decker has been gaining some hype recently. He was injured and had some QB issues but he was money. Also can't tell if he's white or black, him being white might be a deal breaker. But hes physical and has some decent speed just not the suddenness and burst.

I kinda like Taylor Price from Ohio. I've pimped him a bit here but he seems like what we might be into now. He's fast has good hands and runs good routes. He didn't go to a great school but by all accounts had a good Senior Bowl. Maybe we go in a direction like this and get this year's Austin Collie.

 

cecil shorts, mt. union. comparable stats to pierre garcon, and shorts is an all-american sprinter. he'll get drafted late and outperform almost all the wideouts picked ahead of him.

 

They'll probably either take some under-hyped dude we've never heard of, or another over-hyped USCer

 

Amanti Edwards? I doubt he's a QB, but the guy might develop into a good slot WR
