What if he never reaches this potential everyone speaks of?...
Like Ive said before, they have Quick... They dont need another WR that is all potential. They need someone who can play NOW. |
all of these guys are just potential at this point. There isn't one receiver in this draft that is a lock to come in and contribute immediately.
for that reason I don't even want to draft a receiver. I'd rather sign one of Bowe, Wallace or jennings. |

Ahhh but there are risks there too. You gotta pay a significant amount of money to those guys and 2 of those 3 WRs will be 29 and 30 years old next year.

Big time WR's that get the big money in free agency never work out for whatever reason. Vincent Jackson is trying to change that trend though.
It's just a tough position to judge. There's so many variables.

Never is a very concrete term. Typically, they don't work out when you overpay for guys who weren't that great in the first place. I could see Jennings not working out because of age and injuries. I think Wallace will work out and I think Bowe will give whoever signs him 3 or 4 years of good production.

I don't see how anyone can say this with a straight face. If jackson is already working out this year then your conclusion that they never work out is already false.
If you only have to go back one free agent class to prove it wrong than it likely didn't make much sense in the first place.
Even if this was true I can't remember 2 receivers as good as Bowe and Wallace becoming free agents at the same time. Especially when both guys are under 30 and both still are producing(even if there numbers are down because of QB play).
Most good to great WR's who enter the market are past their prime or headcases. Even in these cases a couple of them have worked out. Owens produced with the Cowboys, Rice produced with the Raiders, Lofton with the Bills etc, etc. |

1) Cordarrelle Patterson
2) Robert Woods
Right now, these are the only two WRs I would select in the first round of this draft class. And I wouldn't select either one of them prior to the bottom 1/3 of the 1st round. |

Woods isn't going to go in the first and I just don't see what others do in him.
Patterson has huge potential but I'm concerned he never becomes a polished receiver. |
