Very few journalists agree with this statement. I know the PFF stats were positive for the receivers, but there was too much overlap in what they could do. We need options that aren't small, quick receivers who could only operate in space and blocking tight ends. Gordon, Cameron and Austin are the only guys who don't meet these descriptions and they all have HUGE question marks for next year. I can live with the position not getting addressed until the 2nd or 3rd round, but only if they plan to invest heavily in free agency or have trades lined up.
As far as this upcoming season is concerned, no it doesn't. But then again, it doesn't matter what players we bring in for next season period given the QB situation.With the way things are shaping up at the QB position right now, I'm not sure it matters if we get a big time wr here.
Not sure I like him at 19 more than I like Perriman in the second round, but depending on the options available I'm OK with it.
There is a growing belief Perriman is going to be off the board in the end of the 1st round, and he hasn't run his 40 or had his pro day yet. I would hate to see Seattle get their hands on him.
Just impossible to predict that back of the first/early second area anymore.
Last year we all knew Benjamin, Cooks, OBJ, Lee and JMatthews were right in that range. Think we'll see a similar circumstance this year.
There are even MORE guys in that range this year, I'm just not at all confident they are as talented.
They were simply not a big problem throughout most of the season, despite not having the "big name" in there.
