John from Riverside Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I dont think there is a doubt in my mind that Robert Woods is gone after this season What happened with Sammy is really unfortunate....you really cannot predict this stuff...... much in the same as when Ragland went down....Whaley did his thing in getting Justin Hunter It will be interesting with Powell and Hunter......I really like Powell....dont know too much about Hunter but to me this is auditioning for spots for next years roster.....if Powell and Hunter can emerge and give us production....we might really have something especially when Watkins gets back.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 How about we establish a #2 for this Sunday before worrying about 2017?
NoSaint Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 The odds of either Powell or hunter emerging as an NFL quality #2 are pretty slim. The odds of both playing like that are roughly equivalent to winning the lotto. The odds of them being effective depth and/or package players? Very possible
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 The draft is where you can get a no 2 WR (probably 2nd or 3rd round).
NoSaint Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 The draft is where you can get a no 2 WR (probably 2nd or 3rd round). Day two of the draft is the economical way to get a really solid one. How effective he would be week 1 is a question (would've been nice to have a year as depth before stepping up) but yes to the strategy overall
Augie Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 The draft is where you can get a no 2 WR (probably 2nd or 3rd round). Yeah, I don't think he's on the roster now.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Does this team throw enough to need great WRs? Look at Carolina last year.

What reason do you have to believe that we will ever really have Watkins back? Hopefully this is all a fluke, but he's missed games every season. At this point, it's not unreasonable to think that he's only another injury away from being too injury prone to give the money too? His foot. Was his hip. Then his shoulder. I'm happy to be wrong, but I'm just not optimistic anymore.
CommonCents Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 In what round was Justin Hunter drafted? Same round as James Hardy.
NoSaint Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 In what round was Justin Hunter drafted? Yea but their third team in month makes it a different discussion. And you know that. He's still got potential, which is great, but to try to imply that picking up a guy cut twice in September is remotely similar to drafting a guy in round two is a bit much

Not saying he has lived up to potential....he has not Same round as James Hardy. So.....round 2
Virgil Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Has he really missed THAT many games up to this point? Not saying he has lived up to potential....he has not So.....round 2 It's just what he's missed them for. Such a variety of injuries while he is so young. Again, happy to be wrong but it's not like he takes a lot of hits. His injuries come out of nowhere and I'm just not optimistic anymore.

CDogg20 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Is Sammy designated for return or did we use that on shaq? I just found this out so im a little behind
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Does this team throw enough to need great WRs? Look at Carolina last year.This is a great point. I also think the NFL has evolved from the day of having a #2 WR. I like having a good WR, good TE, and a back that can catch the ball. Couple those 3 with some solid WR's on the roster who can catch the ball, and I think you are good. It seems what happens is a teams #2 WR option gets signed away by another team after his rookie deal to be a #1. Draft guys or find them on other teams practice squad, develope and move on.
CSBill Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Same round as James Hardy. and about the same production
JM57 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Is Sammy designated for return or did we use that on shaq? I just found this out so im a little behind Shaq is on the PUP list, not IR. Also the IR-DFR designation is gone now, teams don't have to specify ahead of time. Everyone goes on IR, then the team can take only one player off it.
