All those players are complete receivers who can do it all. Who can stop Antonio Brown over the middle?

Brown, Beckham - Yes, special players...

Hardly think the rest of that krewe could do it all...

Point of the post regarding over the middle and having a tall receiver, meh...

But I'd agree that we do need a big wide receiver that is at least 6' 2" and with a reliable wing span/catch radius who can 'put a body and box out a cornerback' to convert 3rd downs and red zone scores without an upside-down acrobatic catch is essential for this team to winning games...

Just picture Cooks getting smothered by Panthers Josh Norman last season for the win in Carolina; if we'd had a younger, healthy Colston, Jimmy Graham or Laquon Treadwell can come down with that pass from McCown and change, quite possibly, the entire season...

Agreed on the last part is especially, the 2006 - 2011 Colston would have beasted Josh Norman. Colston used to be unstoppable in jump ball situations early in his career.

But we don't have a Brown, and it has more to do with Brees' size and the tight window to throw in. would Brown fit in our offense in the slot? Idk.

AB would be every bit the megastar here as he is in Pittsburgh. He's a special player, period.

I've mentioned his name a few weeks ago but I still like Su'a Cravens out of USC.

Good looking prospect in the 3rd round (assuming he falls that far).

From what I've heard we love him and he's not falling past us in the 2nd round. I thought he'd play weak side LB but then I got to thinking... This is Vacarro's contract year if we don't pick up his 5th year option. If we draft Cravens to play safety we could possibly even trade Vacarro. There's gotta be someone out there who would give up a mid-round pick for him.

I could see the Saints simply letting KV walk after this season.

He's way more pass-catcher than blocker... Maybe a move to WR in our system? 6' 2" 230 lbs.
