Chances We Draft a WR in Rd. 1
Posted on 2/23/15 at 11:45 am

What are the odds that we look at taking either Devante Parker or Kevin White with our first pick?
I know it is nowhere near our most pressing need but we do need a big possession guy to replace Colston.
Obviously we are going to be looking for one of the top pass rushers at our spot but if all of the big names are gone, what are the chances that we pick a receiver who could immediately step in to replace Colston then address DL/DB in the later rounds? We have seen the immediate impact rookie WR's can have in the past few years and talent like that may help us more next year than drafting a DB/DE that has to be coached up for a year or two.
Our window of opportunity with Brees at the help is closing every year so it would not surprise me at all to see this happen. I know we spent our first pick on Cooks last year but those two guys have completely different skill sets to compliment Cooks and stabilize our receiving corps for years to come.

11.7%

Under 1%.
Its going to be Oline, DLine, or OLB.
They will sign a CB in free agency, IMO.

14% minimum. There are 3 guys that are pretty top 15 quality.

100% if Amari is there
Posted on 2/23/15 at 12:06 pm to bayoutiger7
Not one mention of oline...

Under 1%? I know thats sarcastic but you'd be kidding yourself to really think that. Time and time again we've made draft choices that are contrary to what the media/fanbase thinks we should do. At some point you have to stop looking at need and draft for talent. If all of the top pass rushers are gone, it would be easy to see us drafting the top wr available. Mario Edwards or Danielle Hunter could still be there when we pick in round 2 so theres no need to reach for a DE with our first pick

Let's be honest, with Payton you can never really rule it out. Say we sign Kareem Jackson in FA, the top OLB/DEs are gone, and White and/or Parker are available. At that point, WR becomes a real possibility depending on how they have the players ranked. I wish we had the luxury of being able to take Kevin White in the 1st though.

This is a really deep WR class, we don't need to draft one in the 1st.

Slim to none.
If Amari were to be there I think a team would make a good offer to trade up for him.
But I'm more curious as to how or why it took you six years to make your first post?

Very slim. There's no way both White and Cooper aren't taken by Cleveland's pick at 12. That leaves us with Parker, Strong, and DGB as WRs who can sniff being worth #13. And I'd rather not take either of them because the value + need of that would be horrible. Now if you wanted to get a receiver in rounds 3-7 I could be down with that.

I would still think it would be minimal, if "all of the top pass rushers are gone" that would drastically increase the possibility of someone like Shelton, Scherff, Wayens, or Collins being available at 13.

Old username. Got a new computer and couldn't remember the more current one. Might be a good thing to start with a clean slate

I say 0% even if Amari is there. There is no way all the good D-line, O-line, & LB'ers will be gone by the time we pick (especially if one or two QBs are chosen).
IMO, we are not picking a WR in the first.

I disagree. I don't think we would pass on him.
He'll be gone so no worries.

I say negligible... but you never know with CSP... if the right guy is there, I could see him falling in love.

Not really. The top edge rusher, Beasely, Fowler, and Drupree are only helping their stock by having great combines. Yes, there are two WRs that are above and beyond, but one of those guys will probably be there at 13. Not only that, but if you count those 5 guys, the 2 QBs, possibly 3 DBs, 3 Olinemen, and Williams from USC there are just too many other options at more need than WR. Now, granted, less than 1% is, statistically, not correct, but come on.
ETA: WR: White, Cooper.
Edge Rusher: Beasely, Fowler, Dupree
DB: Waynes, Peters, Collins
OLine: Clemings, Peat, Scherff
DLine: Williams
QB: Mariota, Winston.

DeVante Parker is really a top 15, maybe top 12ish prospect everywhere you look as well.
Posted on 2/23/15 at 1:52 pm to bayoutiger7
It will be O-Line, D-Line and LB in the first 4 rounds and we will likely pick up a CB or WR late to compete in camp but not actually make the team
