Anyone that can consistently get open would be nice. Beasley was always underrated in Dallas, but he feels he should be paid as a top-2 slot receiver. Humphries is younger, and has the size on Beasley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Hell No to Funchess, he's a turd who cannot separate. We already tried our hand & lost with a big, slow WR from Carolina. I think Beane is sis smart enough to stay far away. Tavon Austin would be pretty useless here, except on special teams. Same goes for Cordarelle Patterson. I'd be cool with anyone else on that list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 We are definitely signing Funchess. Just accept it. and honestly, none of these guys are going to be worth what they will get. I would draft multiple receivers in this draft. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I’d pursue Humphries. I wonder what type of contract he’d command? Still young at 26...good slot WR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I really think Tavon Austin is a guy that can be used in a lot of ways and can really help us out. That’s a guy I would be very interested in and he should be overly expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Golden Tate and Williams. Draft Hakeem Butler. Add in the kid from Canada. Now we might have something. Zay and Foster can compete for the 5th spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y. Orangeman Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don't love any of these guys and hope we wait for the bargain to reveal itself.

GunnerBill Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Tate (still think the room badly needs an experienced vet leader in there who has had some success in the league) and Humphries (would sign but I feel like outside is a bigger need than slot) are the only two I have any interest whatsoever in. Just so no to Williams. He is gonna get waaaay overpaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I like the San Diego guy. Austin has never achieved. He's the size of Mickey Rivers. Should have stuck with baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 There are probably 8-10 WRs in the draft with higher upside than Tyrell Williams. Signing him (and overpaying) would be really stupid. We'd end up with a marginal WR2 while watching guys we passed on to do so become top targets on other teams. It'd be the equivalent of us signing Terrelle Pryor in 2017 coming off a 1000 yard season, and passing on JuJu & Cooper Kupp in the draft because "our WR needs are now met".

Logic Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I'm actually fine with them signing Funchess AS LONG AS they don't count on him to be the #1 or #2 receiver. Funchess is an 800-yards-per-year guy. That's a guy that can help your team. If they were to sign Funchess to a reasonable contract but then also spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on WR, would it bother you? Rookie Foster Jones Funchess Duke Williams McKenzie That's a pretty promising WR depth chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavon Austin is great when used properly. He is a sweep/HB/slot/PR/KR/screen player. Ultimate X factor, if you have a good coach he will probably provide you with 10 game changing plays during the course of the year. Not an every down WR but I would be very excited if we signed him to compete with McKenzie. 31 minutes ago, 947 said: There are probably 8-10 WRs in the draft with higher upside than Tyrell Williams.

The only way I can see us taking a WR before round 3 is if we trade down and acquire more picks. Hopefully that happens. If not we need to address the position in free agency.

OL is much easier to find in free agency. If we sign 2 guys, that frees us up to wait until the 3rd round for OL & take WR or TE early. I'd much prefer that route.

They started targeting him in week 10, and he lit it up with elite production. Got huge separation and caught everything. His average from week 10 on puts him at almost 1200 yards and 7 TD's annually on a very reasonable target number . Nobody could stay with the guy. Tate was sub 800 and Williams at 650. I say with Duke, Hakeem Butler, Zay and Foster you'll have some excellent options. Beane's not dumping money into another Jordan Matthews type guy just to have a name around.

LABILLBACKER Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The only 2 I would consider based on age and projected production would be Tyrell Williams and Humphries in that order. Tate and Brown are too old. Used to think Funchess would be an option but no longer. This is a real thin FA wr group, but hoping TW is landed!

Stank_Nasty Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Brown was on pace for well over 1000 yds on the season and was making big plays for Flacco before Jackson took over and rendered the wr’s obsolete in Balt. I’d welcome him with open arms. Also beasley would be a welcome addition. Surprised these 2 havnt been mentioned by others more in this thread.
