Tell me who Collin Johnson looks like catching this pass? Set the video link to start on the catch I'm referring, restart, watch the whole thing after...

Collin is certainly a playmaker, but his injury situation makes me nervous. He almost literally missed every other game this last season. He is also strictly an outside receiver; I don't think I ever remember seeing him lineup in the slot at all at UT.

Drafting those injured players have been our MO lately and it hasn't really worked out well for us. We need to go with proven production and stop reaching and hoping that a player will get better in the pros. Taysom Hill is totally different.

If we do go after another WR I'm honestly hoping he is more of a Colston type.

We have that player, with some juice, in M. Thomas; we don't have a WR-Z who runs consistent routes, quick acceleration, turbo-boost option, reliable handling, and a go get ball GPS - what we've had is Ted Ginn...

I agree Thomas is alot like Colston but put 2 of them on the field and it would command double teaming one leaving one in single coverage. Would be extreamly hard to cover, not to mention the TE or swing back being thrown to at will. Defensive nightmares all over the field. Also agree about Ginn but not so sure we have to have a burner to have great success.

That's great, but we've got a big receiver already on the roster in Jared Cook who can split the field with Michael Thomas...

What we don't have is a Brandin Cooks/Devery Henderson/Robert Meachem to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the field, Ginn was overpaid for three seasons to do it...

Make Brees' passing target buckets bigger, and, as an added plus, you afford even more YAC opportunities...

We've got to stretch the field...

I was looking at that 2009 SB Roster at WR ...

Bobby Meach, Dev, Shockey, Lance Moore ...

No wonder we won it all. Weapons everywhere, could get open and guys who had great chemistry together.

MThomas needs help. Hopefully it happens (I would prefer we get one in both) via draft and/or Free Agency.

- Has to be a legit speed guy at WR.
- OG needs to be a mauler. A nasty streak.
- DT needs to be a legit pass rusher. Not a NT or tweener.
- Need both cover and thumper at LB.
- A TE who can excel at blocking or receiving. Both is the impossible dream.
- If a legit RB falls, as they have been lately, it is a need.
