I'm starting to think more and more WR is where we go first round of the draft. I wouldn't be surprised if we took two WR's in this draft.

Which scares me because besides JG he is about the only legit receiver we have. Stills Is good and will improve but I honestly don't see JG staying healthy all year. If Colton is still hurt or reinjures himself we are left with Stills and a rookie most likely.

really? no crap

this has been going on for what? 3 years solid now. if there is one contract that needs to get redone it is his. plus you know he will not make the entire season and thats been going on for what? since he signed the contract.

i love the guy but fact are facts the saints gave out big contracts after the super bowl win and we have been struggling with them ever since.

good news is he is coming to the end of his contract so a move to get his numbers in line should be coming in the next couple of years

Doesn't sound good for Colston at all. It sounds like he could be one of those after June 1st cuts. Yes, the Saints will more than likely have to draft some WRs this year.

Will draft WR x 2 this season.. At least.

Danno

1st- WR Odell Beckham Jr
2nd- WR Donte Moncrief
3rd- CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste

I can see it.

TheOak

I do not see any other option for us. We need receivers... Not want them.

Sproles - Gone
Moore - Gone
Meachem - Gone
Colston - fighting injury
Morgan - injury prone
Graham - foot battles
Stills - good to go
Toon - drops
Tanner... ?
Givens.... ?
Hawkins .....?

Beckham would give us the WR version of Bush/Sproles. Kinda our own Percy Harvin without the injury bug.

Moncrief would give us just an all around good WR. Perhaps Colston Part II

SJB would be a good project at CB. Long and rangy.

The more I read about Moncrief the more I wonder why he's not projected as a late 1st early 2nd?

TheOak

Possibly this?

WEAKNESSES: Perhaps the only thing standing in Moncrief's way of becoming the first "skill-position" player from Mississippi to earn a first round draft selection since Eli Manning (No. 1 overall, 2004) is the question about his straight-line speed. Moncrief was not caught from behind on tapes viewed but the big-bodied receiver may not possess elite timed speed.

Negatives
Donte Moncrief Scouting Report: NFL Outlook for Mississippi WR | Bleacher Report
Takes a very passive approach to catching the ball, and usually lets the ball come into his chest rather than catching away from his body.
Struggles to focus on the ball when locked in tight coverage and misses a lot of difficult but catchable passes.
Body control is poor—struggles to position himself to box out the defender and adjust to the ball quickly enough to make plays as a possession receiver.
Phenomenal workout numbers, but it doesn't always translate to the field.
40-yard dash and 10-yard split times just didn't translate to consistent separation in college.
Tried to play like a pure speed receiver in college but he doesn't have the elite separation ability to play that same role in the NFL and will need to develop his ability to win with his size.
Frequently failed to get on the same page with his quarterback in terms of depth and timing of routes; it wasn't always necessarily his fault, but its an issue worth inquiring about.
Athletic enough to make one move after the catch but lacks the agility to put together multiple moves to weave his way through traffic.
