<![CDATA[Receivers]]>We all know we need some playmakers on the outside, so who is worth taking in the draft? I think we can forget treadwell, as I don't see us taking him at #2 or being around at #32, but what about other guys?

NFL.com has a write up on this 'sleeper' guy (though I doubt he sleeps much anymore), a german who has only played for about four years, in germany:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000648990/article/german-wide-receiver-one-of-nfl-drafts-biggest-sleepers

Headline: "he's 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, runs a 40-yard dash of 4.39 seconds, and has a 37-inch vertical"

I'm guessing his route running is not quite as refined as it could be, but with those measurables, maybe it doesn't need to be. I'd take a shot if he can catch.

Given the experience of this offensive coaching staff, I have confidence the right WRs will remain. I have been intrigued by Pryor too & now we'll see what these coaches think of him as a WR. It will be interesting.

I agree, but I don't see us taking a receiver there, especially if Gordon is back in business. Too many other needs at RT, OLB, QB, ILB, FS, CB, that are harder to fill later in the draft.

  • Charone Peake (Clemson) 6'2 - 209 - 4.37 Comes with a hands warning, but seems to be his prep to catch and not a focus issue, so should be fixable. Some injury history, but more a case of development delay due to players in front of him named Watkins and Martavis. Sometimes the other guy is a guy, too... well this is the other other guy.

Watched Peake at a NC State game. Man has all the tools in routes but he's not trusting his knees on cuts nor welcomes blocking downfield. Watched tape on Tulsa's Keyarris Garrett 6'3" 220 4.53 40 maybe just another option. Want a Julian Edleman? Watch the Buckeyes against Western Michigan this little 5'10" 177lbs annoying little Nat Daniel Braverman (projected in 4th)

Sure....but if a stud falls to us at #32...don't be surprised if we grab one. Ray Farmer no longer drafting for us.

If Hue does want a QB....then he will also want a weapon to go with him.

I guess I shouldn't, as teams bring in a great deal of players each year, but we won't be in a position to draft the kid unless we trade down. Wentz and Goff are getting love, but nobody I've come across has written that either QB is deserving of a trade deal that most certainly include a bevy of picks.

Would the 49's, a team in need of a QB, be willing to trade? I can't think of too many others, right? Perhaps the Rams?

We need WR's. Our coaches have publicly said that as well. Apparently, the Josh Gordon debacle isn't going to be over any time soon. Sure, we can draft one in the second round, but does anyone else remember how our second round WR's have fared? I like Treadwell, mainly because he excels at jumping and plucking the ball at its highest point.

Other than that, Doctson intrigues me from TCU. But it's not a great year for WR....no...I'm afraid we missed out on those years.

Does that make you a Ray Farmer Disciple?

Once late Day 2 rolls around I'd consider:

  • Malcolm Mitchell (UGA) 6'0 - 198 - 4.40 After a blazing start as a Frosh, he then tore an ACL that cost him two seasons. As a Senior in a limiting offense he led team with 58 for just shy of 900 yds.

in the draft according to their grades... has only one wr, and Will Fuller is at 18.

I'm thinkin now, that I'd want to draft a smallish, very fast TE later on, instead of any

of the wr's after the first round, who has also player wr......
