804_Falconfan Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I know WR is not a big position of need for us but with Finneran in the last year of his contract and since I don't think we will keep Booker on after this year. We may add WR depth later on day 2 of the draft. Two WRs I think could come in and have fill in in a role similar to Finneran's are Bryan Anderson, Central Michigan and Eric Decker, Minnesota. 6'2" 215lbsCareer: 204 recptions, 2776 yards, 21 TDsDecker is a tough receiver. I saw him take a huge hit last week, go get stitches in his chin and then come back and catch a TD later in the game. Not an overly fast guy but has good hands. Classic possession receiver. Has benefited from improved QB play. Would really like to get him if he falls. Some have him projected as high as a 2nd - 3rd round pick but I believe once the JRs declare he could be overlooked and slip down to the 4th round. After seeing the slips from last years draft, anything is possible. Also was drafted in the 2008 MLB draft. Bryan Anderson6'5" 215lbs (Same as Finn)236 receptions, 3,011 yards, 21 TDsAnderson has great size and production. He has benefited from the maturation of Dan Lefevour. Was an All MAC 1st Team selection last year. Projected as a 4th - 5th rounder. Caught the onside kick in the Michigan State game that allowed Central Michigan to kick the game winning field goal. Its more likely that we are in position to get him rather than Decker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 saw decker play last week. he's a tough little guy. his toughness reminded me of welker. he was catching passes over the middle and getting busted up, but he has sure hands and even after his chin got messed up he kept on playing.

The Gritz Blitz Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Decker is playing himself into round 2 or 3 imo. He has a lot of tools and is going to be a very good WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
