bladiebla Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) You forgot Easley on those lists, he's still around, allthough for how long remains to be seen... Cut day is going to be painfull. All these new WRs makes you wonder if they are setting up EJ to start right away. Edited April 28, 2013 by bladiebla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Brad Smith should be nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 i am hoping that whoever the best of the bunch turn out to be, they can offer versatility and be interchanged to an extent so that they can create chaos and confusion. the raw talent and speed of this group has definately got us excited. add in the potential of the tight end/h back players and it gets more intriguing, even if still far from proven. this is hard to say, but i can't wait for preseason!

peterlaw Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think Kaufman has a good shot as being 1 of the 6 WRs. Although he may end up on Practice Squad. Not good news for Easley although he deserves another look now fully fit. Not sure how we keep a space for Brad Smith but I would like to see if Hackett can find a role for him. Maybe it's Graham that is not safe on the roster? I see Woods as WR2. With the addition of the other WR draftees maybe Stevie can now switch to the slot.

Doc Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Woods has 4.37 speed. He can do more than make possession plays. And Easley, Graham, and Smith should be nervous. The top 4 look to be Stevie, Woods, Rogers, and Goodwin, with Kaufmann having a real shot to stick given his size and redzone potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Brad Smith should be nervous. Agreed. That's why I put the question mark. With all the competition, plus all the people on practice squad and the new UDFAs he'll need to impress. It's strange, suddenly seeing competition at the spot. Woods has 4.37 speed. He can do more than make possession plays. And Easley, Graham, and Smith should be nervous. The top 4 look to be Stevie, Woods, Rogers, and Goodwin, with Kaufmann having a real shot to stick given his size and redzone potential. Good point. After going over some analysis, he seems to be a real plug and play guy. I see him in instantly at #2, maybe #1 eventually, especially with Rodgers now.

Word is though that Graham has improved immensely over the off season (bb.com)... Competition is going to be stiff for sure, chemistry with EJ may be an important factor.

Sadly though, Easley's window might have passed, and his injury history makes him a risk. Edited April 28, 2013 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 All these new WRs makes you wonder if they are setting up EJ to start right away. WRs generally need a year to figure out the NFL as well. I expect improvement this season, but expect 2014 to be the season we see the big improvement in the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyToTasker Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah, seriously. The WR group went from yawn to potentially explosive and dominating. BB and the Pats should be concerned for what to expect on opening day. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleaMoulds80 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 A WR that understands how to run routes will outlast a WR that can just run fast. This is why i love WRs like Reggie Wayne, Stevie Johnson, Jerry Rice. 40 is overrated. Great pick up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see Woods (who I think is a lock to be one of the starting two) or maybe Rodgers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 4 look to be Stevie, Woods, Rogers, and Goodwin, with Kaufmann having a real shot to stick given his size and redzone potential. I agree. unless they want to use him for kick returns, Smith gone. Easley has done nothing and is doubtful better at anything than the rookies. Graham was lost last year, now he faces waves of talented receivers who all have what he has as his only gift--speed. It's interesting that it took Marrone to come in to do in a single draft waht Buddy couldn't do in 3--set up a decent WR corps. To answer a previous thread's question as to who was in charge of this draft, I'm sure it wasn't NixWhaley.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix is the face of this front office; if you don't believe it watch the 25 minute draft wrap up he did with Marrone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix is the face of this front office; if you don't believe it watch the 25 minute draft wrap up he did with Marrone. Arrogant? Slow down, son! I don't know how you are using that word, but it just seemed obvious to me that this entire sea change of a draft coincided with the arrival of a very energetic, forward thinking head coach. I know it pains you to be asked to look back on the previous 3 drafts and tell me if you can't see it's like night and day between the drafting philosophies (and the overall quality of draftees to this point). But you at some point have to acknowledge the obvious. Do you think this draft looks anything like this with Nix/Chan? Being "the face of the front office" has absolutely nothing to do with my comment. Every GM in the NFL is the face of the front office. You either somehow missed my point, or you intentionally ignored it to prop up Buddy. If he' s doen such a great job, it should be obvious to everyone uniformly and he certainly wouldn't need you sprinting to his defense after pretty innocuous posts like mine above....

Nix obviously had a great deal of influence, but it isn't wrong to say that Marrone also had quite a bit of input, seeing as he came out of college and knows these players quite well. Ok, maybe he didn't have as much influence as WEO is insinuating, but I am sure that his knowledge helped tremendously in the scouting process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
