re: What do you guys think about doubling up on WR in the draft?

I wouldn't mind if the doubled up at both pass catcher (TE/WR) or defensive back (CB/S), of course, if there is talent in those picks.

I'd be fine with a combo of mid and late round WRs to get some more talent in the WR room.
Someone like Skyler Bell in the 3rd would be nice. He has a nice, well-rounded profile.
PSFN profile - Skyler Bell
I'd also like someone like Eli Heidenreich, Kendrick Law, or Cyrus Allen in the 5th or 6th. They're more quick twitch, RAC, slot type WR.

Or if there is some concern about Vele and you want some size, you have players like Malachi Fields (might not be available later), Jeff Caldwell, or Caleb Douglas.

Skyler Bell originally played for the Wisconsin Badgers, where he flashed promise, but never got a chance to catch on due to inconsistent offensive structure and quarterback play. He transferred to UConn in 2024, and achieved career-highs in all metrics in his first season there -- but his 2025 campaign was something entirely different. It only took Bell nine games to reach the doorstep of 1,000 yards, and he ended the year with 101 catches, 1,278 yards, 13 touchdowns, and a near-elite PFSN WR Impact score of 85.
The 6'0", 185-pound pass-catcher has one of the most complete three-level threat frameworks in the 2026 class. He's explosive and energized as a mover, with a full route tree, vertical splicing, steely ball tracking, and dynamic RAC chops. Focus drops were an issue in 2024, but he's even cleaned that up -- making his profile one of the most well-rounded in the upcoming group.
He'll be an older rookie, but he compensates by posing as an immediate starter with inside-outside versatility.

quote:
. . . But Heidenreich's three-year production is just as impressive. Over that stretch, he amassed a combined 3,151 yards from scrimmage and 23 total scores, averaging almost seven yards per carry and over 18 yards per catch. Strictly at RB in 2025, Heidenreich boasted a strong PFSN Impact score of 80.5, but he also achieved a mind-boggling 4.97 yards per route run, per TruMedia.
. . .
Heidenreich's deference for spatial operation suggests his more favorable future exists as a gadget WR who can be schemed touches off motions, and not as a volume runner. Having said this, Heidenreich's usage versatility is a boon unique to him, and as a bonus, he's an extremely willing, physical blocker in space. For the team that knows how to use him, Heidenreich can be an incredibly valuable rotational catalyst and do-it-all weapon.
PSFN profile - Eli Heidenreich
quote:
. . . Combining elite explosion, hip fluidity, bend, long speed, and high-end contact balance, he functions as an uber-dynamic RAC presence with usage versatility. He's sturdy and composed at the catch point when his number is called, and he has additional upside as a separator with his building blocks. Right away, Law can serve as a dynamic WR3 in an NFL offense, with RAC and blocking utility, and he has true impact starter and three-level threat upside down the line.
PSFN profile - Kendrick Law
quote:
. . . He waged a career-best campaign with the Bearcats, racking up 51 catches for 674 yards and 13 scores, while earning an 80.3 PFSN WR Impact grade. Per TruMedia, he also achieved a strong 2.6 yards per route run, a size-defying 12.23% catch rate over expectation, and a miniscule 1.5% drop rate. At 5'11", 190 pounds, with just over 31" arms, Allen is average size at best, but he possesses a dynamic brand of mobility, complete with electrified agility, twitch, stop-and-start, and propulsive vertical explosion and speed. . . .

Or if there is some concern about Vele and you want some size, you have players like Malachi Fields (might not be available later), Jeff Caldwell, or Caleb Douglas.
quote:
. . . With his build, Fields brings questions regarding his max-level athleticism, vertical speed, and separation upside with lacking flexibility and deceleration. That said, there's no denying his ability to control the catch point with timing, box-out ability, and vice-grip hands, and his heavy-handed run blocking ability solidifies his value as a rotational WR early on. With good athletic testing, Fields can improve his chances of going Top 100, but needs to keep refining his game as a multi-level separator before he can be a full-time NFL starter.
PSFN profile - Malachi Fields
quote:
. . . At 6'5", 216 pounds, with near-33" arms, Caldwell's most enthralling quality is his size-adjusted athleticism. At the NFL Combine, he quantified this with a blistering 4.31 40-yard dash, a 1.48 10-yard split, a 42" vertical, and an 11'2" broad jump. Caldwell's size, speed, and burst set him apart, but the rest of his profile still needs work.
He has excellent contortion ability at the catch point, but can be prone to focus drops and inconsistency through contact, and he has room to further excel at controlling the catch point with timing and coordination. His route tree is primarily vertical, and while he has good building blocks, his plant-and-drive footwork and sink can be very inconsistent. Additionally, Caldwell provides relatively little as a RAC threat. . . .
PSFN profile - Jeff Caldwell
quote:
SENIOR BOWL OBSERVATIONS:Caleb Douglas first caught my eye on Texas Tech's film with his route-running flexibility and malleability at his size. At 6'3", 198 pounds, Douglas can sink his hips and redirect better than most WRs at his size, and that played into his success on Tuesday.
Douglas' sync on routes can still be more consistent, but his separation upside is clear, and he was dialed in on the first day. His focus was clear as early as warm-ups, where he had a smooth one-handed grab down the field.
Later, Douglas beat Chris Johnson on a post route in team drills and made an acrobatic catch over the middle of the field. And when given another opportunity over the middle later on, he secured it seamlessly and transitioned to RAC. Douglas' hands were inconsistent in college, but if he can make that a strength, he has exciting upside.
. . .
Caleb Douglas never quite reclaimed the proficiency that captured his game on Day 1, but Day 3 was another solid outing from an underrated WR who improved his standing in Mobile.
In 1-on-1s, Douglas' best rep came against TJ Hall, when he used a delayed speed release and a crisp stop-and-go move to induce a pause from Hall, and he also converted a first-down on a smooth speed out in team drills.
Douglas' consistency is still coming along, but the route-running building blocks are there, and his 6'3" frame grants him a wide catch radius and immediate blocking utility.

Thanks. I've spent too much time on the draft simulator so I've been looking at a bunch of players.
But it gives me a chance to see some of the potential depth picks or players you think have a chance to develop.

I like Skyler Bell and Eli Heidenreich as well. There are so many things you can do with Eli in this offense from a receiving and rushing standpoint. And, as you stated, Bell has a well rounded game.

Yea, I made a thread on here about Burks during the CFB season. I really like him as well. I’m also high on Zacharriah Branch

This shite below, makes you look like a moron. Shough is going to say that he thinks Polk will make a difference…….that’s what he SHOULD say about his teammates. I hope he does make a difference……..but you can’t COUNT ON THAT.
If we draft a WR at #8, sign a big name FA WR, and hear anything from the team/ media about WR concerns then yes I'd look like a moron. I'd also happily eat my words.
But we didn't sign a big name FA WR yet did we? And the media/ team have downplayed WR concerns haven't they? Looks like #8 would be the last play.
You are calling me a moron for making logical deductions using the current state of the situation while blindly disagreeing without any evidence to support your claim.
Everything I've said has evidence to support it while your opinion is completely baseless.
Nothing I said is baseless. We did trade for Polk and take a guy all the way from Canada that we wanted on the team. We let all big name WRs sign elsewhere which shows its not a huge concern or that we like what we have.
If Shough said that Polk would have an impact and then we added 3 WRs ahead of him then I'd agree but guess what? We haven't!
We could announce that he's our WR2 and y'all still just wouldn't accept it or believe it. "Of course the team will say he's our WR2 but you can't count on that".
I can't argue with people who will choose denial no matter what happens.

Tyler Shough’s opinion on Polk supersedes the opinion of Maye/Vrabel shipping off a 2nd rd pick, who had league worst metrics? How are you painting yourself as having the level headed take here

Not at all. Are you under the impression that a player who struggled on 1 franchise has never had success on another franchise?
Are y'all painting yourselves level headed by judging a dude who only has 33 targets? That's right, not receptions but targets. Is it level headed to base an entire guys career off only 33 targets his rookie year? That's not level headed in the slightest. ESPECIALLY after the opinions and attacks on Vele's career prior to getting here last year. That almost makes these opinions that much more ridiculous at this time. Y'all also ignore that the 33 targets came on a 4-13 team that was absolutely arse. That was NOT the Superbowl team from last year.
Hollins, Boutte, Douglas got the advantage last year building chemistry on the upgraded roster while Polk was injured. They also added Diggs AND drafted Kyle Williams. You are talking about a dude who started WR6 by default last year regardless of his play. Ever think that they liked the other WR's and were helping Polk by giving him a change of scenery? That's not even acknowledging the heavy RB/ TE use on the Pats.
If you believe its level headed to classify a 2nd rd WR on a 4-13 team with 33 targets a bust then I legit don't know what to tell you.
Its level headed to think 33 targets isn't enough data to know. Its level headed to think the guy does indeed have talent/ athletic abilities being 2nd rd value. Its also level headed to think he plays minutes this year after the QB says word for word:
quote:
"That's tough because there's so many guys you don't know who necessarily, you know, we might add or leave but at least for sure that I know that we're going to ride with. I think the growth and expansion of Devaughn Vele, and Ja'Lynn Polk as well, I think those guys have kind of been under the radar."
"There's so many guys we don't know about but here's the 2 guys that are under the radar and we are riding with".
Maybe I wouldn't be seen as a moron if I based my opinions off blind thoughts and empty opinions. We could announce that he's our WR2 and y'all would be so in denial that you wouldn't be able to accept it. That's how level headed y'all are.

Judging the facts as we know it is being leveled headed. It doesn’t mean he’s going to be a bust
Blind optimism based of a quote from his QB is called being a fan, not level headed. You can spin the what ifs to make you feel better but it doesn’t change the facts

He really doesn’t understand how rare it is for a team to ship off a 2nd round pick for a bag of balls that soon
The Patriots COULDN’T WAIT to get rid of Polk. That’s not to say that he absolutely can’t develop, but the fact that he can’t get separation/get open……….is definitely an indication of WHY they wanted to move on from him so soon.

Bingo! The QB, as well as the organization, is going to say that he could make a difference….that’s just the game they play with the media
