We need a slot receiver

It all depends on the offense we are going to run...Wes Welker/Roscoe Parrish would be worthless here except as a reliable returners.

Someone like Patrick Crayton or Bryant Johnson would offer a little more flexibility at the #3 spot in the offense we are going to run.

That all being said, Laurent Robinson could easily be that guy if he isnt the #2 this year...I don't think Jenkins is explosive enough.

I'm of the opinion that we should draft both Dennis Dixon and Josh Johnson, just to spite Matt Ryan personally, and move one of them to slot receiver.

Did Matt Ryan steal your girlfriend and kick sand in your face?

You do realize who started this thread, don't you? My God, when did this board become filled with corpses?

we got a need? well, heck yea. Let's go down to the Walmart and just pick one of those up.

Funny, I don't think we can pick any kind of offense in the NFL where you don't need a slot reciever....it's fine to be a running team but if you aren't balanced and capable of running 3 WR sets at times then the ferocious NFL defenses will shut down your run game.

Even a strong running team like Tenn or PITT with Mularkey used plenty of 3 WR sets.

I wouldn't mind seeing TD pick Jacob Hester in the late 4th or early 5th. -- He's the type player you could play almost anywhere and he will give 110%.
don't mean to be rude or anything but what does a RB/FB have to do with slot receivers?

As no one on this board has a sense of humor or wishes to enjoy the MB anymore, I will say that we have Jenkins and Jennings and with all of our problems one of them will have to do as our third receiver next year.

I second this opinion. Jenkins and Jennings as 3 and 4 will do fine. Horn will be gone, so draft a need.

I was thinking he played a little slot along with tailback/fullback?

He has great hands and is fearless over the middle. -- Horn is about the only receiver we have that doesn't have problems with the middle.

Welker suited the NE offense, but not ours. He's no blocker and we won't be in shotgun formation on 1st/2nd down, so those little pitch and catch/run routes are not timed with a 3/5 step drop

wes welker is like tim dwight, who was killing it in your offense of 1998, which is similar to the offense we are going to be running.

if harry douglas can do KR/PR then do it. i just want a slot like wes welker who will do both.

Tim Dwight caught 4 passes in 1998
