McDermott says WR2 is already on the roster


Recommended Posts

I'm totally fine with this with hopes that Sammy is healthy this year. Holmes is a good blocker and a big target. Considering our team makeup and likely game plan, #2 WR isn't very important. I'd ether draft Howard if we want a target in the passing game. Would prefer defense though. Really hope we try and load up on talent on the defensive side of the ball, although I suspect we take a QB somewhere in the first 3 rds. Hopefully we can trade down and grab an extra pick or 2

I sense a smokescreen. I'm starting to have a feeling it'll be Williams or Davis if they don't trade back- which is what I think they should do- because looking at the roster, I don't see a #2 WR in there. Not to mention this is a draft with a deep DB pool.

I think Foster could be gone at 9 to Cincy after they waved Ray Maualuga this week.

 

 

That was his projected spot even before Rey was cut. Makes the most sense now. This has Patrick Willis written all over it.

Lying season? Or truth?

What he really is saying is, is we ARE GOING TO RUN THE ROCK and minimize TT's flaws.

I expect another defense heavy draft and a battle for WR PT between Brown / Holmes / Butler / Listenbee / Powell / Lewis / late draft pick

 

yep, which is why a redid my mock draft for defense heavy.

QB ain't coming off the board until 12th at the earliest.

While I agree in general, there are teams that may want to jump the Browns if they believe their guy is being targeted by Cleveland. But it's such a generic QB group, it may not matter. Perfectly reasonable to think that if a team misses out on QB A, they are just as OK with QB B.

Don't forget Listenbee. Last year guy didn't play but was expected to be great. Actually we had three guys that we drafted that we expected to be great and didn't play at all or very little. Great draft. We keep saying TT is a bridge. I believe he will shine this year. Draft "D" and be happy.

technically , wr2 is on the roster

 

all he neglected to add was they are always looking to upgrade every position

 

so who ever is wr2 today, may not be tomorrow.

 

these coaches and front office guys practice saying nothing.....err, not tipping their hand on future plans

Possibly McD is trying to create a sense of competition among all the WRs on the roster during OTAs. By putting this out there, they feel they have a shot to earn that job and will go out trying to do that. Eventually they may add someone but if so, it makes your 3rd, 4th option that much more ready.

 

A guy like Holmes who has been trying to get on the field and feels he's a #2 should approach it that way. If they all think they have no chance to earn that spot, they won't be as driven imo.

If McDermott honestly believes there is a legitimate #2 WR on this team then the Pegulas should start looking for the next coach right away. Hopefully it's a smokescreen for the draft/trades/etc.

 

I concur 100%, IMO we not only don't have a legit WR#2 currently on the roster, we also don't have a legit WR#3, IMO HC Sean needs new eyeglasses, at least in terms of his WR evaluation, but I also think its simply a smokescreen
