Routes not in question? Are we talking about the same Justin Hunter?

Jack, The Titans opined he could run good routes (The Tennesean) or as you say, look it up. It is he doesn't do enough to be successful. Can McDaniels light a fire underneath him?

Before Hicks got to the Pats no one would have ever said Hicks was better than Fairley.

Well played.

The Rams cut Long to sign Coples?

LOL okay...

I am in the James Jones (Jones caught 50 and had 8 TDs in an emergency role. He is only 31 pr just a few months older than Amendola), Anquan Bolden (AB caught 69 with 4 TDs and QBs that were poop last year), Andre Johnson camp (Johnson still had 41 catches and 4 TDs with injured and declining Colts QB play).

Another Vet?Roddy White might still contribute and a great locker room guy. He caught 43 last year.

Cousins let's consider this; Would Bolden have been open for TB on one or two more completions in the AFC Champ game versus La Fell, Martin, White or even Amendola for that matter? The guy just wills himself open! I want him for crunch time. Lets the kids get beat up in the regular season.

Chris Givens is still very interesting. Youth , size and speed. He was hampered by bad QB play when Flacco went down.

I am not a Percy Harvin fan, but Percy brings one thing that La Fell, Martin and Amendola can't bring....fear by opposing defenses. He was the best WR on the Bills to start 2015. He's only 27. BB knows him well. Can he or will he contribute?

Trades?

Juron Brown from the Cards. 6'2" and 205 . Can play ST. Said to be a starter on many Teams.

How about a trade for Justin Hunter? 6'4" and 203lbs. Speed burner. Is he worth a low pick to the Titans? Only 25 and his hands or routes were not in question. His head was not in the game....ie bad coaching.

How about another "2 for 1" trade: We are thin at CB. Bucs "spare" CB Alterraun Verner only 27. With the Titans he was playing at an all Pro Bowl level in 2013. He is dying a slow death on the Bucs. Terrific with the Titans. 11 Ints in 4 years and 23 pass broken up in 2013. He can't be this bad , this fast.
PLUS
33 Year Old Vincent Jackson for a mid round pick for both. I think the Bucs bite if we can redo contracts.

We have ten picks. We can't use them all. Let's get a ready to play guy or two.

Thoughts?

Cross Givens off the list. The Eagles got him.

NFL Draft Scout seems to be the most accurate site I've seen in terms of draft projections and they have Drake as a 3-4 round pick. Based on that, I don't think taking him at the end of the 2nd would be that much of a head scratcher.

NFLDraftScout is no more or less accurate than any other site when it comes to draft projections. Also, they are the same people who now do the CBSSPORTS.COM draft section.

EDIT: I say this as someone who has used NFLDraftScout.com regularly, including having a membership account.

This is actually why people should be taking a wait and see approach with Cooper rather than having an opinion one way or another.

I think we are done w/ fa. We need to save room for some rookies. We have more picks then spots open and at least one udfa will make the 53.

They probably figure that Jeff Fisher will be able to light a fire under Coples' ass.

Honestly think we can cross every WR off the list outside of Washington, Boldin and maybe James Jones(I believe there was reported interest). If there is going to be another WR signed have to think it will be one of them.

 

[Love The Drake]

Maybe with the extra pick they are targeting a rook wideout I hope not or more preferably a trade for a vet.
So looking at Belichicks track record who had a down year or a injury
Im looking at Stevie Johnson, Charles Johnson from Minny
Josh Gordon Vincent Jackson
Eh lets just sign Nate Washigton

They tend to be quite slow in upgrading a prospect's stock well after other boards have raised him up. My advice to others is to read Draft Scout/CBS's board in conjunction with another's like ESPN or NFL.com.

still awaiting lord percy's arrival...

 

[jah]

I think the concern is more that there aren't many roster spots for rookies, although one could argue that's "one of them good problems."

 

[Love The Drake]

still awaiting lord percy's arrival...

Thought he was signed to the Ravens and a locker room cancer?

 

[JMC00]

This is what we call training camp fodder

 

[Kontradiction]

Bowe earned $1.8M per catch last season. Where do I sign up for a job like that?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Totally. Waste of money. I'd rather spend it on a Rolex for Hightower.

Not a fan. Think hes a camp body also
