We Need Playmakers!

its not that im doubting him being a good receiver...im doubting that he'll be a dominant receiver that is worthy of a top 5 pick. i know speed isn't the end-all-be-all, but we need speed. we have a slew of young guys that can be possession receivers. we have no one that can get deep. so long as defenses can stack the box and cheat up the safeties, its gonna be hard to have much of a running game or short passing game.
even at this point, adding speed wont do much. we could just put mitchell in, but that wont solve the problem. we have no one thats a threat to deliver the ball deep. teams dared colt to go deep all season....a few miracle catches resulted, but nothing changed.
insofar as qualities....thats a good question. generally speaking, blackmon is a nice prospect. the root of my argument is merely to be careful calling this kid a lock, and that he's not a good fit for us.

I agree, Torrey Smith who was picked right before Little last year in the end of the second round seems like the perfect type of player. He really showed up for Baltimore and really made defenses think about the deep ball. If we could find value like that, Id be thrilled. I think both Blackmon and Little (although neither are burners) have shown that they have the potential to be big YAC players which our system requires.. Maybe 5 is too high for Blackmon considering we have Little and no speed at WR. But if its not Blackmon (and not RGIII) I guess its Claiborne if we dont trade down? I dont see ANYONE I like at 4 other than those 3 players and we NEED a very solid WR...
