Brandon is right about this. We need help at receiver.
We’ve lost 3 receivers (Jordy, Monty and Cobb) in essentially a calendar year. We drafted three 3rd day picks.
It’s likely 1 maybe 2 tops will be here in a couple years and it’s also possibly ZERO get to Jordy or Cobb peak status, that’s not being mean or imaginative or exaggerating, that’s just our reality.
I actually wish we didn’t need a WR. I really do, so we could pick at other needed positions. However, in this particular draft there will be several selections that GB will have to seriously consider drafting a WR if they are truly a top remaining prospect.
We need a Slot or another receiver that can compliment opposite Adams by 2020. Id prefer to get them in the system now so they have time to develop and get production by next season.
If we get extremely positive results from another receiver in the meantime? Work a trade and likely get that pick right back next year.
I’d like to see us consider picking the best value at either Slot or Perimeter by selection #3, then there’s lots of potential in a deep WR draft class to pick up another receiver who slides into day 3 who in many drafts would be top 100 or so.
I can see an option of keeping 7 on the 53.
Adams, GMO, (early WR draft pick), MVS..
Then four of these remaining WR’s to compete for three spots on the 53 and one PS. That said there’s an odd man out of the following..
EQ, 3rd day Draft pick, Kumerow, J’mon or Davis.
