nyjbuddy Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I understand the want for a big bodied #1 type of WR but I think Gase's offense heavily emphasizes the slot with players that don't have to be physically dominant. Landry spent 60% - 70%+ time in the slot during his good years in Miami. When he left, Gase replaced him with Amendola (the highest targeted receiver this past season) and Albert Wilson. They already had Jakeem Grant (another slot receiver) and Gase talked about getting Stills more touches by moving him into the slot. Stills played 40% in the slot during the 2017 when Landry was still in Miami. Thats 4 receivers 6 feet or shorter (Stills 6', Amendola 5'11", Wilson 5'9", Grant 5'6") with Davante Parker as the only other receiver seeing significant targets. If Gase did have control over the roster in Miami, it says a lot about the type of receiver Gase favors in his offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradis Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 19 minutes ago, Scott Dierking said: So a WR that is a mid first projection at best, is ok to pick #3? Mid-1st round? the whole WR class is still fluid. Look, no one gives a sh*t where you drafted Metcalf 2-3 years from now. #3? #10--> who cares. Is he worth our only pick before round 3, and are there better players that move the needle are the two real questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 1 hour ago, Paradis said: Just using your two posts to highlight a point-- Unless we loose Robbie to FA... i don't think we can sign a WR in FA. We only have room for 5 WRs if you're going to keep A. Roberts Quincy Robbie Burnett (this is happening i believe) Rookie (this also needs to happen) Gunner/Peak Something's gotta give there. And that's pushing it, committing to 6 WRs total, far from guaranteed. I am not in favor of keeping two WRs who are primarily STers. So if we keep Roberts, then Cannon is the gunner -- no need to keep Peake. Replace him with a FA WR who can give us something in the passing game. Quincy is an injury risk, rookie WR may or may not be ready to conribute, who knows what Burnett is going to be. I think we need to sign an experienced WR in FA to replace Peake.

Sure trading back always sounds nice, but it’s not easy. Especially this year. That is my philosophy. If you can get extra picks and get your player at 8 awesome but if you can’t take him at 3.

A healthy Metcalf is nearly on par with AJ Green... who went #3 if memory serves. I don't understand what you're saying. Are you suggesting that the only positions that hold value in are SEC dlinemen and QBs? When we took the "value surpreme" pick with Leo Williams -- it literally did nothing to improve our team on the field. It was redundant. Value? Value is winning games and hypothetically a player like Metcalf is going to make a bigger difference on this team than some of these other players.
