Small WR

[Monksdown]

I think that the popular misconception is that tall is good. In fact, some people openly trade tall for more important things. Like route running, run blocking, and catching(to a degree). Speed is very important, but to an extent, it's very similar to height, in that it creates separation. Height creates separation, if only at the point of reception. Speed generates openings for less accurate quarterbacks. I think that speed is something that we should focus more on because of Patrick's is more strength than touch.

The reason we like to reach for the taller receivers is because we cant get out of our heads how good Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are. There are two of them, and a shit load of teams. So I would encourage us to not trade important characteristics, like route running, for size. Timing, and practice will be the key to Patrick's success. Not playing 500 with the ball, which is not Joe Gibb's style anyway.

In conclusion, tall helps. That is all. And i would rather see David Patten run a precise 12 yard out with the ball waiting for him when he turns, than see Plaxico win a jump ball competition 35 yards down the field. Because I believe in consistency, which route running and precision provide.

From what I have read it seems as though Boldin is more likely than Burress to end up in Minnesota.

"Cardinals' officials instigated talks with the Vikings regarding a proposed trade that would send wide receiver Anquan Boldin to Minnesota in exchange for running back Michael Bennett and a second-round draft pick, according to KFAN radio, the Vikings' flagship station."

I stated earlier that Patten would be a target of the skins, he knows how to win and he's a good character. A gibbs type player all the way. We will be upgraded all around the board, we may not make a big splash with big names, but well get some gems.

if i were the cards i wouldnt trade boldin for bennet... not with the upcoming draft class of rbs... though they do need a QB much more.

I agree with him, especially if he is calling a good game

That's yet to be seen since 15 years ago. Lets get some size.

What about the Titans...........I heard they are looking at WR, and the Bucs too.......

I hope they will leave a WR for us.......but most mocks have us going defense in the draft....'course that's just speculation too....

I heard an interview with Fisher and apparently their new coordinator from usc is pushing for offense, but I had the feeling listening to Fisher his feeling was defense, that one could go either way.
