millenium falcon Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 both are 6-1, 200, with nice speed, which is close enough, as i was hoping to add a WR in the 6-2, 200 to 6-3, 210 range with darrius heyward bey, brian robiskie, brandon la fell, demetrius byrd, manuel johnson, micheal jones, and patrick turner other options in the draft in the 3rd-4th range depending on whether we get a comp pick in that area and who falls. houshmandzadeh is the only F/A i like and although he may be too expensive, he should surely want out of cincy.

mcsupersport Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The only way I would sign a high priced receiver is if Roddy gets hurt. I would say use a late round pick to maybe pick up another receiver, but our receiver core right now if very solid.White--1st receiver should be pro-bowlJenkins--decent 2nd receiverRobinson--possible 2nd receiver, definite third when healthyDouglas--solid 3rd, maybe 2ndFinneran--Decent 3rd, can play 2nd if neededWe don't need another receiver right now, except for depth, and you don't sign high dollar FA or high Drafts for depth. We have too many other holes mostly on defense to waste much money on a solid area. If we get a top defense and need another receiver to get to Super Bowl then yeah do the trade/sign but not this year. I could see us sign a higher draft/FA TE faster than a receiver.

UCSBDirtyBird Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 TJ will be too expensive, and we don't need to draft any receivers next year. The guys we have now will be fine. We need to stack the defense and maybe pick up a better TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethanga62890 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Brandon Tate is the only WR we need to even look at as he can do PR/KRs and fit in as a slot as well as Maclin can in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbresette Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I would think about drafting Macho Harris from VT as well considering that he is a good CB and can return punts and kickoffs. He also doesn't have the attitude problem that other VT kids that have come out have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporkdevil Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm not against drafting another WR, considering that Jenkins might be gone, Finneran's time in the NFL is limited, Jennings WILL BE CUT (the more I say it, the more it will become true). But to sign a guy like TJ, who is a great player, is really not what we need to do. We will have Douglas/Robinson to start in the slot, along with White, we don't really need any more starters. I'm OK with depth, but no need to drop $8+ million on a WR whose name is not Roddy White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need a decent guy as the #2 that can make plays. Laurent can do that. Nobody is winning superbowls because they have 2 big money superstar WR's.

Poster Large Johnson Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 TJ Whoseyourmama is a PHENOMENAL WR & if we had a shot at him we take it. Team him with ROddy & we have a pretty good tandem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta_Dawgs46 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 TJ is getting up there in the ages. We have young receivers in Robinson and HD. Why not coach them up to be a #2 receiver? That way we save money to sign free agent at a position we will deseparately need next season: DT, DE, Strong Safety, CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sign Roscoe Parrish as our new PR and cut JenningsParrish is locked up....he signed a new three year deal last year.We need an upgrade at PR but I think first and foremost we need to look at DT. Surprises are good (babs' play, trey lewis) but if we can add some elite talent that will give us a lot of flex in the d line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-line help huh??.....If only Haynesworth would come here and the Titans would let him walk(not gonna happen though )yeah and i dont think its the best idea to give a guy that much money. The key to long term success is making the most of your draft and keeping things cost effective. Thats why Indy is struggling now...because they have so much money tied up in 5 players that they dont have the depth that they used to.I think DT and TE are the big needs for us. We might want to snag another young athletic LB in the draft especially if Boley leaves...then I think LB shoots up to the top of the list. But we should be set up to start drafting for depth instead of starters soon....thats fantastic for the future of our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
