Yes, I would take Cooper or White at 10 overall if they were there over the OL in this draft, I never said I wouldn't. All things being equal though, if we could pick up a legit starting QB, trade back and still get a good player at a position of more need I don't see how that possibly couldn't be the preferable option.
Because pegging yourself into a position for need is how BPA players fall. I don't think anyone would take back the Aaron Donald pick - and that's my point. There's a big drop off in talent between the two, and I think we'd be better served getting a talented player like White and grabbing another lineman in the 2nd or 3rd.
I dont agree with that. Whilst I agree our offence has been rather stagnent, i'm not putting that down to a lack of talent at WR.
We've basically gone 22 games without a starting QB. That has a huge factor in it.
- Quick showed real promise at the start of last year. He was having a break out season (with austin davis throwing to him, not exactly Aaron Rodgers)
- Britt was a constant deep threat and him and quick make a great pair of physical and fast Wideouts who can block in the run game.
- Bailey is Mr reliable and should be our starting slot receiver. Never drops a ball, runs great routes. Our 3rd down WR.
- Tavon wasn't used correctly by schotty at all. You can't give a Formula 1 car to a truck driver and expect the same results. Tavon needs to up his game granted but running him between the tackles is quite frankly a stupid play. He changes games when used correctly
Im not saying we couldn't use an odel beckham type talent, but to say WR is a lacking position is slightly unfair I feel. I'd much rather fix the OL.
Quick is the only one I could say might be a solution to the problem - *might* .. he started off with a blast then absolutely tore the crap out of his shoulder - worst case scenario if he doesn't heal, we have another studly type of receiver in the making to take his place. Best case scenario, we have 2 stud's out wide that can be difference makers.
Britt? Occasional deep threat with some pretty inconsistent hands. Do you see him claiming that #1 spot? Cause I sure don't.
There isn't anyone in the receiver corps that has shown me they're a potential answer like a Nuke Hopkins, Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, ODB, etc.
And until we have a receiver that breaks 1,000 yards, I don't see how there's anyway you can even joke about the position being fixed. The o-line helps keep the QB upright; the great receivers help the ball get out of the QB's hands quicker.
