Those with better football acumen, please enlighten me...
What do we REALLY need at WR? A certifiable primary target a la Watkins or Evans -- end-zone/red-zone target, who can run, catch at great height, with huge catch radius, and can score from anywhere -- or will something "less" do?
In working on a couple mocks, I felt like I might just be adding to a clump of similar receivers in Cruz, Randle, Manningham, and Jernigan. It's certainly never a bad idea to add ANY WR talent, but I'm hoping for a little better explanation/differentiation from folks here. Thanks.
Fix the OLine and everyone looks better.
If we have the very Fortunate chance between Mike Evans and Odell Beckham Jr.. I think you could then default to a better "fit" for an offense. That is if their grades are similar.
I like Odell Beckham Jr. alot for the Giants. He is fast, can change direction, runs crisp routes, strong after the catch, and is a true hands catcher.. but does HE make sense with Cruz, Jernigan, and Randle in the fold?
Its a great question..though really .. if his grade is THAT much better than anyone else at a need area.. you ignore type. You get a player that can make plays and start over one that can't, put simply.
Draft into the draft's inherent strengths. If WR is the target at <insert pick>, draft him and coach him up because they could use him. JJ is still proving himself as is Randle, only Cruz is a sure thing.
move the chains. quickly developing plays.
you need a receiver who 'gets it' and will know the O from the get go.
this might be a tight end.
expect some of this from the RB.
but a cross the middle, short out, etc, wr as above could be very helpful.
