Reciever can help offensive woes

dwiley21 · 01-19-2006, 05:18 PM

Part of the Saints offensive troubles are all the dropped passes. They have 3 solid big-play capable recievers (when healthy) in Horn, Stallworth, and Henderson, but my feelings are they lack a true possession reciever. Horn has been great at getting the team out of a 3rd and long jam in the past but he was not up to par this season. Who out there either a 3rd round or later pick or free-agent wise could help the Saints solve this problem.

Henderson wasn't solid in the least this past season. Stallworth was the only consistent player due to Horn's injury. Hopefully i hope they get rid of Horn but i doubt it. Reggie Wayne will be available but the Saints won't pay for him. In the draft I like Sinorice Moss but he'll go sometime in the first round. Perhaps we can get Skyler Green or Derek Hagan if he is coming out this year.

You won't find a fix for this in the draft. Receivers rarely make an impact in their first few years. The odds of us drafting a franchise QB is greater than drafting a receiver that will make an impact in his first two years.

I am in agreement we need some competition, whether it be from FA or draft really doesn't matter to me. I think if the group we have now feared they may lose their starting position they may just step up but nobody has been good enough to push them yet.

the biggest problem with our wr's is that they are all tiny. joe horn is our tallest wr at a towering 6'1, they you have stallworth at 6', henderson at 5'11, hakim at 5'10, and moore at 5'9. next time one of them scores a touchdown they should do an umpa lumpa dance.

i forgot lewis at 5'8. we also have lyman at 6'4 and poole at 6'2, but they are not exactly worth of starting on any team.
