I like the Attaochu pick. You'd want 2 WRs taken in the first 3 rounds? I do agree about Benjamin tho

And to wildtigercat93: yes, yes they were.


Going into this season, outside of the draft, you have 2.5 proven commodities. An aging Colston, a young receiver in stills, and a meachem that has limitations. You don't know what Morgan brings because all you know is he can fall down to earth and be a burner, Tanner is going to be activated and sent to the PS again, and Toon who can or cannot pan out.

Colston's cap hit gets a bit heavier to swallow next year (9.7mil). Even if he produces his regular amount, chances are he won't be a #1 WR, but more of a #2. We'll probably keep him, but he could potentially be cap casualty if we say draft Matthews and he replaces Colston.

Jarvis is a strong receiver, good route runner, and this offense never had a kick arse dominant #1 receiver, but more of team work good route running and knowing your role. Jarvis fits that mold similarly to hold Colston fit it. Not overly fast, but physical and can block for the run game. He may not have colston's height, but he has the toughness and concenration that I think can translate into a lance moore type of role.

You could go into 2015 with the corp of:
Matthews
Stills
Jarvis
Colston (if he is kept)
Morgan (if he pans out)


As of right now, our holes are at C (no clear starter), #2CB, and OLB if anything. Attaochu would be a great pick, but I think in the 4-2-5 rob runs its more effective with another CB like SJB. The guy is a big physical freak and can hang with those tall receivers. I actually like him the most in the 2nd, but I honestly think he's gone.

I'm all for taking 2 WR in this draft, but taking 2 with our first 3 picks indojt necessarily agree with. Take SJB if you want with the third pick. I mean I liked the Breeland pick as well. He's a corner with good size.
