Watkins101 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) It looks like we will need to add at least one or two major receivers via free agency or the draft after we have taken our Qb. Some Wrs that will be free agents in 2018 are Pryor, Jeffers, Fitzgerald, Hopkins, Watkins, Decker, Matthews, Wallace, Landry and others. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2018/WR A look at some of the top receivers in the draft. Thoughts? Anybody you really want? Edited August 12, 2017 by Watkins101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 No reason to spend Big money on a WR until the QB is in place. That is what we have always done. Try to get Matthews at about a 5-6M AVV on a re-sign but if not just wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I would draft one and possible re-sign JMatt if he performs. He's a good fit for the offense. Edited August 12, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I find it kind of funny that we all of a sudden feel that we dont have WR's We just dont have a ELITE guy.....we have 3 starting caliber players and a bunch of number 3's Lets see how this plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Christian Kirk - Aggies Deion Cain - Clemson James Washington - Oklahoma St Parris Campbell- Ohio St (Curtis Samuel/McCaffrey hybrid type) Antonio Callaway - UF Simmie Cobbs - IU Dante Pettis - U-Dub Having this discussion makes me want to kick the dog that I don't have. Trade a number one WR for a short slow often injured CB and a draft pick and then use the pick on what hopefully is a number one receiver. Just f ING genius.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 That Watkins guy will be an interesting FA. He's only like 24. In the draft, Courtland Sutton seems like a guy that would cause Beane to hold a book in front of his nether regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I forgot to mention Calvin Ridley, Bama. Underutilized in 2016 like their other pass catchers due to the QB but he's a talent. Flashed as a freshman. Not sure how he'll produce this season with same QB + Daboll as OC but he's a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manbeast Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We will be building this franchise into a perennial winner through the NFL draft. yup but right before we start winning we will let them sign with NE and trade the rest after we fire everyone.

#34fan Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Watch out for these 3: Bryce Bobo 6'2" 190 WR -Colorado Daniel Imatorbhebe 6'4' 246 TE -USC Nate Wozniak 6'10" 275 TE -MIN I'd draft all three if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) We will be building this franchise into a perennial winner through the NFL draft. hope so. probably the primary way forward for a franchise likely not very popular with free agents, especially now. need to emphasize the draft, draft well and lock up drafted players for 4-5 years and lead them with a true franchise QB ... thats the formula. gonna take a few years....

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Sammy might be a FA. If they re-sign him back, I'll completely take back all of this worse trade ever talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
