I've been reading that Kendall Wright is dropping down many draft boards to a third round grade. If he's there when we pick, should we pull the trigger and keep he and RGIII's chemistry going in the pros?
I would think yes because Santana Moss might be in his final season with the Redskins. Kendall Wright is a first round talent. But the Redskins have to draft for need. With the additions at WRs in free agency, wide receiver isn't a need. Unless Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan feel that a RT could be found in the 4th or 5th round with Wright available when they pick in the 3rd round, is the only way they'll draft Wright. But Wright will not fall that far down to the 3rd round.

Well I just feel like we already have two pass catching TEs. I would say that you would want a blocking TE, but then again, maybe the Shanahans may not want or need one. BTW, Paul is 220ish.
One of the things that Shanny loves about NP is his blocking. (to go along with his work ethic)
Also, according to a recent tweet by Niles Paul, he's currently at 234.
^ Which observers say Garcon is less consistent than Gaffney. I think some of you have a strong misconception of what Gaffney is.
Garcon > Gaffney
Moss > Gaffney
Hankerson > Gaffney
Morgan > Gaffney
At best he is our 5th best WR. What are you guys crying over Gaffney for? Lets get real here.
Agreed.
A career journeyman steps in and has a decent year in absence of any other legit or healthy WRs on the roster, and all of a sudden he's a guy we can't do without?
Please.

Here's the article about Wright dropping to a third round grade in the eyes of some evaluators: Baylor 'triplets': Smoke and mirrors? (http://m.profootballweekly.com/NFL_features/38349/)
I was surprised Hank dropped that far last year, and inevitably, every year, a talented player drops way further than projected. Maybe it will be Wright all the way to the third.
I'm torn about taking him if he drops that far. I'd really like to find Jammal Brown's replacement early. It is tempting given their chemistry though. Has there been a good college QB/WR combo that's taken their act to the pros, and it worked?

Pretty much zero chance Kendall Wright is there at pick 69 but if he is that card will be turned in faster than the RG3 pick.

I like match up problem this presents to defenses.. He will block your corner, he will burn your LB. He will occupy your safety. It would take a Gamecock spur type athlete to match him and they are rare.

He's always ran good routes and had incredible blocking.
