If someway Julio Jones falls to the Saints Loomis better sprint that pick in, doubt it happens but this offense would be unstoppable

Julio would be our Anquan Boldin, but faster.
Wouldn't be our #1 WR but a "nice compliment" to the receivers we have.
Probably would mean Devery would be expendable.
Skip all the talk of drafting another TE, because Julio could easily block OLBs in the run game.

That's nice that he's a team player but I don't want to draft him to block; but the blocking is definitely a bonus.

His hands are a lot lke Colstons. He can snatch just about anything near him, but will occasionally drop a few that hit him right in his hands. He sometimes turns to run before catching the ball.

Not real bad, but he'll drop 4 or 5 like that every year.

Just imagine Colston with 4.3 speed.

I place WR near the very bottom of our list of needs, but if he's there at 24, we have to pick him.

I don't think the foot injury will drop him that much though.

Every WR blocks. Those who can't really stand out - not in a good way.

Yep, totally agree w your assessment of JJ. But IMHO, we still need another WR - a "Colston with 4.3 speed".

Hell, maybe that's Jimmy Graham...? Especially considering how much Payton uses his TE.

To me, Meachem is a younger, faster Devery with better hands. Stretch the field and catch 3-4 passes per game w the occasional 40yd TD.

That said, I don't see us drafting a WR before the 4th round.
