Amari Cooper
Kevin White
Breshad Perriman
Devante Parker

All fit the mold of a WR1- 6'+, 200 lb+, 4.4 or below 40s

Here is a reminder of our current crop of WRs

Marques Colston
Brandin Cooks
Nick Toon
Jalen Saunders
Seantavius Jones
Brandon Coleman
Joe Morgan
Willie Snead
Andy Tanner


I'm starting to think we really need one of these guys (Perriman is a recent riser, still wary on him, admittedly). I like some of the guys at the end of the 1st and mid 2nd round, but they all seem to have question marks. Dorsett and Devin Smith bring back memories of Devery, Jaelen Strong seems a tad raw and project, etc.

Look at that corps of WRs. We may need a WR at 13 and one in the 2nd rd

Upvote if you want one of the big 4 WR at pick 13, down vote if you want to wait on a WR

I personally think Cooper and Parker are going to be the best of the bunch

lol at Perriman in the top 10. I'd rather wait until the 2nd/3rd round to take one. jmo, but it just seems like the smart thing to do. Like you said...all of them have question marks and there are other good options later in the draft. If we're going to take a chance...it's better to do it in a round besides the 1st.

I probably wouldn't want Perriman there. Cooper and White will likely be gone. So really, the only option for me would be Parker. I like him a lot and he is more of a complete WR than we would find later imo. I don't think guys like Dorsett are complete WRs, though I really like Nelson Agholor as a possible pick at 31 or 44.

Yeah Perriman in the top 10 is a joke. He's the definition of an athlete project. Kills athletic drills and measurements. His route running and catching need a good bit of work tho. I wouldn't mind him at 44 tho.

The only realistic 1st rd WRs I'd want are the top 3 if either fall to 13 (or if there's no other value on the defensive side for Parker's case)

I've been on the bandwaggon for WR at 31 or 44 and then ILB with the other, just from how the value of each position lays out in this draft. Would like to get Perriman, Agholor, or possibly even DGB if the FO isn't scared off by his CC with one of those picks.

I wouldn't touch Perriman until late 2nd round. Blazing speed coupled with size is always attractive, but his route running is raw and his hands are only decent. I understand both are fixable, but we have a track record of drafting projects instead of pro-ready players.

DGB is a boom or bust guy...but his ceiling is as big as any WR in the draft. I'd take the chance at 44, but he might be gone by then. I wouldn't mind taking a chance on one guy with our top 5 picks...but we need to be careful with the other 4 imo. There's nothing wrong with taking a chance every now and then...it just can't be the norm.

Yes on Cooper, White, or Parker at 13. No to Perriman there. Now if a Gregory or Shelton is there at 13, take him and then I'd be ok with Perriman, Strong, or DGB at 31.

We'll take a WR in the first 3 rounds...not sure which it'll be.

Defense/O-line is paramount

The reason why I don't want a WR at 31 is b/c one of these guys is going to fall to 44. At first I liked the idea, but the more I think about it...waiting until one falls to 44 or a guy in the 3rd makes the most sense. jmo

Perriman is late second to early third. Top 10 is a joke. We almost have to take a edge rusher at 13. Pickins' may be slim by 31. If Shelton or Cooper drop to 13 i may gamble. Odigazowa, The OLB from Oregon and maybe Eli Harold left at 31 for edge rusher

We have to draft a guard in the top 3 rounds. 3rd round is way too early to take a RB. We might not even draft one at all.

Perriman won't even last until 40 IMO. Some team is going to take the chance on his athleticism and prospect. I could see a team like the Ravens in the first taking him if Strong is off the board and they're aren't high on DGB.

We disagree here. There are a lot of guys in the second-round range at this position. Just have to make sure you take the right one. Owa Odighizuwa, Eli Harold, Lorenzo Mauldin, Nate Orchard, Hau'oli Kikaha, Preston Smith, Danielle Hunter, or even Markus Golden.

Granted some of these guys might fall because of demand at other positions and one team valuing one of these guys over the other. But they're all solid players that could potentially be had at 44.

If we come away with Danielle Hunter, Marcus Golden or Preston Smith as our answer to our pass rush issues, i will be very disappointed. I like Mauldin, orchard, Harold, Owa and Kikaha. Hope the draft falls right for us. This one will be fun.

Well yeah obviously I like others considerably more than others, but my point was there are still a good number EDGE guys with second-round or worse grades.

A deep draft for WR's per CSP and I think a TE or red zone target WR can be had 3rd round and beyond.

Don't be surprised if we move from a mismatch TE to a complete WR. Don't mind Cooper or white at 13, but I'd pass on Parker if OL/pass rusher is available our first pick

do people not like Perriman because of the small school?
