Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[theJBexperience]

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?

He's not going to drop that far.

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.

Here's the article about Wright dropping to a third round grade in the eyes of some evaluators: Baylor 'triplets': Smoke and mirrors?

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.

The nightmare match-ups this guy is going to create. Loving it.

Can he run routes though

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

He is way faster than Hernandez, maybe a better blocker? He fast as hell and physical. Damn I'm gettng excited about the Shanaplan now.

Paul playing this role will definitely benefit RGIII on runs.

I guess we can rule out him being a kick returner now.

With Gaffney's departure, I expect one of Banks or Austin to make the team as a returner. I'm not sure Aldrick Robinson is 53-man roster material...could be on PS again. I doubt we'll roster Paul as a TE with Cooley, Davis and Paulsen already in the position, we won't keep 4 TEs.

Garcon
Moss
Hankerson
Morgan
Paul
Armstrong
Banks or Austin

I hope Paul playing TE doesn't spell the end for Cooley. Will be hard to keep 4 TEs on the roster, unless they don't count Paul as a TE per se.

Paul will likely become the best blocking TE on the roster. Don't worry about his size, remember that all the O linemen are on the small side & the ZB scheme calls for a lot of stretch & open field blocking. He will have trouble adjusting to pass pro against bigger & equally quick OLB/DEs but he'll learn.

I somewhat find that hard to believe
