2015 draft??

lee909 · 03-14-2015, 11:47 PM

All this plenty of great receivers late. We have enough late round prospects on the roster. There is a reason most of these guys either went late or were UDFA. They either have size or speed not a combination of both.

Now im not saying getting a WR early is a must but we have lost around 2000 of our roughly 5000 receiving yards.

Call me strange but i dont fancy pinning my hopes on a small slot receiver and a ageing/banged uo receiver. Nick Toon has 21 career reception and this is his 4th season and he will be 27 during the season.

Often the differences in a first round pick and a fourth round pick is where a player is on the development spectrum...

You're truly elite talent is among the first five to fifteen picks, depending on that year's draft's bumper crop...

Many of us have posted that we noticed Brees was "forcing the ball to Graham"...

You think that Payton hadn't noticed that as well?!?

Graham is such a big target to throw that Brees was not using his Payton-coached skills of checking down to the other receiving options...

If we can see this on rebroadcasts on NFLN, Payton surely can with the computer-aided game film that his full-time production staff can produce...

That software/game interface probably comes with Madden-script overlay and maybe even that 360° GoPano views...

Anyways crunching numbers to production, having only one ball per play from scrimmage, something had to give as talent had to be spread across the field on both sides of the ball...

But to change course mid-stream and spend a high pick on another offensive player (exception Scherff, Line of Scrimmage) after having sacrificed two players, one of which is likely to end up in the Hall of Fame, in the name of improving the defense is, well, self-defeating...

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
