Tall CB's can't typically hang with the Brandin Cooks types.

Gimme four Steve Smiths and I stomp your tall ass CB's all day long. And I hate that M***** F***** as much as any WR in the league.

Most teams are trending toward big CB's who have more trouble flipping their hips. I'd counter that with shifty speed demons.

I think we would have a pretty nice balance:

Brandon Coleman 6'6"
Marques Colston 6'4"
Nick Toon 6'4"
Seantavious Jones 6'3"
Brandin Cooks 5'10"
Jalen Saunders 5'9"

Then you add the TE's and I don't think adding another 5'10" receiver like Dorsett would hurt.

The issue there is take Colston away and non of the other 5'11"+ receivers have proved a thing. Toon has shown the briefests glimpses he can play in three years and the other two have not seen the field. Im not writting them off but we are taking a massive risk making so many changes

Very true, I'm hoping Nick Toon can build on a solid last half of the season, he actually became pretty consistent near the end.

If Brandon Coleman can work out that he's supposed to catch the football then we would be in a better situation

I still think we should sign Greg Jennings though, guy can still play and we need more veteran WR's to show the younger guys.

yeah who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.

In light of the Phillip Dorsett love we're showing... Here's a 3 round mock where we trade up in the 2nd round to land him if he's still available when Chicago is on the clock. It only costs us the second of our 3rd round picks.

R1P13 Danny Shelton DT Washington
R1P31 Stephone Anthony ILB Clemson
R2P7 **Saints trade picks 44 and 78 to Chicago** Phillip Dorsett WR Miami
R3P11 Ali Marpet G Hobart

Nice.

Greg Jennings yes, if we sign a guy like Dorial Green Beckham

There's no free agent talent at WR i'd want, rather improve with younger, better talent through the draft...
