If we Draft a WR, who do you want?

#56fanatic · 03-28-2012, 05:50 PM

I can't see drafting a WR is any priority in this years draft. Unless some stud drops pretty low and its one of those "how can we pass this player up" I dont see where we need any further WR on this roster. We need OL depth and secondary additions. PERIOD

GM, don't mean to burst your bubble, but my uncle coached Chris Carter at OSU, and he tended to emphasize the run. Statistically he was close to 50/50 with regards to the run/pass ratio, but with Keith Byars at RB, he ran first, passed second. My point is if the man has the tools all you have to do is coach him up a bit. He could be the next TO for all we know.

Because i started this thread before the trade.

I would definitely draft Mike Shanahan. Not the coach of the Redskins but the wide receiver from Pitt. The guy plays like Joe Jurevicius and is around the same size. But Shanahan won't be coming out until next year's draft in 2013.

I'd rather take the LeSean McCoy-esque running back out of Pitt. Can't remember his name though.

i'm with you. i would rather the skins not draft a wr at all this year and if they do, just try and find someone in the late rounds with potential. we have enough of a core to get us through the next season. the wr i have the most questions about is armstrong. he was lighting it up for a while and then just dissapeared. my thinking is because once mcnubb was gone we didn't have a qb that could get a ball to him down field. i'm hoping with griffin coming in we will have the ability to start using armstrong as we did when he first got here. i hope he shows somthing in camp and can be our deep threat this year.

Armstrong didn't play much because: He can't beat the press, he only runs one route effectively, and he sucks. Armstrong is gone.

and has inconsistent hands... AA's gone, and I'd add T. Austin, Banks, and Anderson.

I dunno, there is something about Austin. I believe that with RG3 here, Austin could end up making his mark here. I would love to see two of our young WRs step up, instead of only Hankerson, who I think is going to end up becoming a legitimate numero uno in the league. When I look at our young WR corps and RG3, I can honestly say that this is the best WR group we have had in DC since the posse left.

Im sure this has been said before on this board, but with a blue chip franchise QB leading your team, and a decent OLine, WRs who normally are run of the mill become above average options at the position seemingly overnight. I believe we are set at the WR position, but that does not mean I dont think we shouldnt draft one in the 5th round or later looking for a diamond in the rough type. It IS possible.
