Our speed WR of the future?
He's a bit small for an NFL WR (5'9" 176 lbs) but with his speed I don't know if that would matter. I think we will take defense with our first pick. I'm not sure he will still be there in the 3rd round.
We need a speedster with some height on him. Tired of the mcclusters. Avery has the speed but not sure why he cant be more consistent. I think missing our 2nd round pick is going to hurt us a lil. Wonder if we can tag albert again then trade him. Even if we get a low pick its still some5hing.
Forget it. They already tried that and there were no takers. Let Albert walk and move on and perhaps get a compensatory pick in 2015.Quote:

We will re-sign Dexter. Andy loves him, and I don't think Dexter is the diva type demanding big money.Quote:

If Jenkins improves as he has been showing some signs recently, we may not need a speed receiver. But do we know he will improve?
As for Benjamin, I looked at some of his highlights and I cannot get the Baldwin comparison out of my head.
Do you know how big TY Hilton is???Quote:

Hemmingway is coming along nicely, but we'll still need a another consistent threat to really be aggressive with a pass-first offense.Quote:

Did you watch tonight's BCS Champship game? Yes, Benjamin caught the winning TD, and admittedly in a nice manner. But he dropped a few catchable balls that killed FSU drives. Now everyone roasts Bowe about that, do you want another Bowe on the roster then?Quote:

And yes Bowe is going to get raked over the coals for dropping passes earlier this season, and for the Riverside incident as well. I don't agree with Texaschief all the time, but in this case he makes a valid point; Why pay top dollar for an inconsistent reciever when you can draft a WR that won't cost top five money that might develop into a consistently good reciever.
