Upcoming FA WR's

I assume that the “big receiver” role will be filled by the emergence of Hank and Niles Paul next year.

so I chose Welker

I’d take him over anyone here if I’m looking for an outright number 1 WR.

and he won’t be available, I’d rather just stick with our guys or maybe mike wallace for the deep threat but he’ll probably be too expensive.

a la Hakeem Nicks, Calvin Johnson, Fitz, Brandon Marshall (not the surest of hands), Dez Bryant, etc.

Vincent Jackson(6’5 230) and Bowe(6’2 225) are the only FA WRs that fit this mold IMO. If i were choosing I would take Bowe b/c he is 2.5 years younger.

My reasoning for needing a big, physically intimidting WR is that we need only to look at our divisional opponents. Both the Giants(Nicks) and Cowboys(Dez) have these types of WRs and create mismatches in opposing teams secondaries. This is the evolution of the WR position and we need to reflect this on our roster. No more finesse WRs!

If you want my 2 cents, we need to draft a stud WR like Justin Blackmon if we really want to do some damage. I dont see this happening since he will be gone in the 1st and I think we take a QB in the first. But could you imagine Blackmon in the 1st and RGIII or Tannehill in the 2nd (if they make it that far)? Take a page out of the Cincy 2010 draft.

Eddie Royal is a good free agent target who knows shanahans system. Dwayne Bowe has been a pretty good number 1 reciever.

But my vote was for Marques Colston- He’s definetly one of the most underrated recievers in the NFL.

Even with Moss, the Skins have lacked a true No. 1 WR threat for years. Hankerson was drafted to potentially fulfill that position, which has yet to be seen (hoping his 100 yd game against MIA was just the beginning).
Adding a No. 1 WR in the off-season would help take some pressure off the QB, give time for Hankerson to develop, and open up things for Moss (hopefully moving him to the slot).
Of all the FA WR’s mentioned, none are really good investments. Meachem & Ginn are average & Manningham is just a notch above them. Welker works more in the slot. Colston has been injury prone & VJAX has been inconsistent (not to mention the off-field issues). DJAX is more of a deep threat plus has concussion issues.
Mike Wallace would be best pickup.

the best, most talented players are extremely egotistical, with some form of off-field issue. If all these guys were saints, V-Jax would be the hands down selection, since he is top 5 or 10 WR in the league. But that is not the case. So a team must decide if they can put up with the head case. One line of thinking is – San Diego has been putting up with his act and he still performs, year after year. The other is – guys like Randy Moss and Albert Haynesworthless underperformed and isolated themselves in their new locker rooms, at the same time, stealing from the owner. We, as fans, need to not care about the off-field stuff; leave that to the FO. We want the best talent on this team. That makes the selection easily V-Jax.

he is one of the younger guys on the list….a burner like we (and most teams) have never seen, and is also consistent as a possession reciever when needed. Colston and V.Jack disappear at times….D.Jack is a whiney bitch, Welker is a slot guy, and Meachem and Ginn are VERY inconsistent. I don’t mind Manningham…but my choice would be Wallace between the 2. However…..I don’t see any way Wallace hits the market w/ Hines Ward getting long in the tooth. They need at least 3 in Pitt and with Wallace, Cotchery, and Brown…..they have it.

DeSean Jackson is going to really be motivated to play against the Eagles twice a year.

Of course, I remember him hearing footsteps ALOT from Landry over his career, so that might outweigh it. But a guy who has a chip on his shoulder against one of the teams, and naturally dislikes the other two that we play 6 games a year with…..

He would be my top choice, even though I doubt KC lets him go.

leave their current teams. Welker is not leaving NE, Jackson is not leaving Philly, and I doubt Colston will leave NO. Manningham seems like the best choice to me, as I think he may want to emmerge from the shadows of Nicks in NY.
