MLD Woody Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Why the comparisons to NE and their WRs? We don't have anyone close to Gronk or anyone close to Brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd be cool with Hartline or Shorts. I see no reason to take Ginn though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think he was measured at just over 6'4" at the combine. yes i think he's the second tallest rated top 10 WR/TE in the draft . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andeftw Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 what about funchess? I think the guy is going to fall down on draft boards after his combine. He doesn't want to play TE because he refuses to block and he's not an option as an outside WR. The only thing he's got going for him is that he can jump. Other than that, speed is poor and hands are inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkid3 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just about as good as McCown did. Really? I hope you're being sarcastic. If not you sound stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownsfandenver Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 i think Funchess is being projected as a 2nd round TE pass catching type by some experts mocks. Kiper has him rated a a Julius Thomas type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 i think Funchess is being projected as a 2nd round TE pass catching type... I think he;s dropping like a rock(as predicted, btw)...... Honestly dont want Funchess at all, but if they take him, I pray it's not in the second round....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Now visiting with Texans today Makes sense... Hartline would be a nice fit there given recent Texan developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the upside they say he plays with a lot of intensity. on the downside they say that's not always the case. on the upside he would probably also be able to play tight end effectively. on the downside he doesn't want to.

Flugel Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Did you read what quoted, i think i pointed out why you sign Shorts. not all rookie receivers come out Calvin Johnson. Some take time. Shorts would give the Rookie time to transition to the NFL. How many 1st round WR picks are bust cause they dont develope fast enough or ever to the game. here are the top 10 Sylvester Morris 2000 draft 21st pick KC Jay Soward 2000 draft 29th pick Jags David Terrell 2001 draft 8th pick Bears Freddie Mitchel 2001 draft 25th pick Eagles Ashlie Lelie 2002 draft 19th pick Broncos Charlie Johnson 2003 draft 2nd pick Lions Reggie Williams 2004 draft 9th pick Jags Troy Wlliamson 2005 draft 7th pick Vikings Mike Williams 2005 draft 10th pick Lions Ted Ginn 2007 draft 7th pick Dolphins Appreciate the research you put into that. 1 minor correction is the Lions drafted Charles Rogers 2nd overall in 2003 from Michigan State. In fairness, to that guy - Joey Harrington hung him out to dry over the middle to the tune of 2 consecutive seasons beginning with broken collarbones for a guy that didn't have much of an injury history in college. More recently, the first round isn't nearly as bad of an omen for drafting WRs as it used to be. You still have to do your homework and snag someone worthy of round 1 consideration. For example, drafting a slot receiver like Tavon Austin up as high as the Rams took him was a reach regardless of his speed and quickness. Here's some examples of good first round WRs just off the top of my head: AJ Green Julio Jones Calvin Johnson Demaryius Thomas Plex Burress Dez Bryant Torry Holt Larry Fitzgerald Santana Moss Randy Moss Terry Glenn Mike Evans Odell Beckham Jr Sammy Watkins Kelvin Benjamin Reggie Wayne Marvin Harrison Hakeem Nicks Andre Johnson Torrey Smith Depending on when and where there's a run on defensive prospects, we might be able to land an immediate impact at WR somewhere within our first 3 picks. That wouldn't suck especially if we were able to do it in round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
