Frankly I have wanted Lloyd since last year...you can check my old posts. I think getting him for a 3rd and 4th is an absolute fleecing! We'll see how he performs with someone at QB who can ACTUALLY get him the ball...all I know is hes staying on my dyansty league team!

He is going to be a great one!!! There are many 49er fans out here that are upset that he has been moved!

I really don't know how you can say that lloyd isn't a down field reciever because it looks to me that he can be. Anyway, lloyd will be a third reciever, second at best so I don't think that we need him to have the weight of the recieving core on his shoulders like he did in san fran.
David Patten will be back from injuries and he can catch balls anywhere on the field. Lloyd's speed and quickness will give us options in the passing game that teams have to respect and that will open up the field for everyone else.
Following up on my previous post, there WILL be a competition for the #2 WR in camp. With the signing of Randell-El it looks like we'll have Lloyd, Randell-El, and Patten squaring off against each other. Skillswise I don't see us losing out no matter who wins because the two odd men out will make for some hellacious depth at WR. It's a little premature, but this could be the most potent offense we had since the late 1980s.

The WR group we now have will be a great one as long as the injury bug stays away. Which one has the best shot of making plays over the middle though.

lloyd. the point in being 4 deep is to be prepared in case of injury.

I think that's going to be part of the test. We know all three can catch the ball, but the one who steps up between the hash marks will be our #2 guy.

Also, who clicks with the QB? I think that chemistry is important so I guess we get to see who has it...

Cooley will handle that for us. And Fauria is edept at that as well.

The way I look at it... ask yourself how many teams would like to have any of these guys as a #3 or #4 receiver...
Brandon Lloyd
Antwaan Randle-El
David Patten
I think the possibilities speak for themselves, although I think the Redskins braintrust is probably looking at Lloyd for a #2, Randle-El for a #3 and KR, and Patten as a #4 going into camp, but knowing Gibbs and how he prefers to have open competition for positions I don't think they'll be married to that line-up

Good for you, good for us. At this point, I trust Al Sanders, Joe Bugel, Gregg Williams, and Joe Gibbs even more than my own opinion. I can honestly say I have been wrong on everything I thought would happen over the last couple years. Most people I know are in the same boat.
Brandon Lloyd doesn't look that great with his old team, but playing for a team fighting for a return to the playoffs does strange things.
Right now, if the skins told me that they were bringing back Michael Westbrook and Heath Shuler and they would usher the team to big game I would believe (well almost)...
