Twitter: Fish: Not just Kirk, they're also looking at other slot vets WRs

[AbeBeta]

Yeah but he only has straight line speed.

Should have never traded away Ryan Switzer. Heck I wouldn't have a problem with sending a 7th to the Steelers to get Switz back.

8 receptions for 27 yards last year.

Steelers aren't gonna just give that sort of productivity away.

All comes down to asking price.

It's as simple as that to me.

 

[Cowboyny]

But ask yourself how much can you expect from a rookie, especially one drafted 4th or later. Remember we're looking for a starter to replace Cobb. I doubt a 4th or 5th round rook can do that......

First, I believe they will target a WR earlier then that range. Second in a deep class, you may get a quality receiver later in the draft. Gallup was a late third round pick, had a productive rookie season. Might be able to get a similar player in the 4th. Many experts say, strong route runners usually make more of an impact right away. Team has targeted this trait recently.

It's true that this is a very deep WR draft, but another way to look at it is that all of the other teams also see the same thing. With another draft, a kid like Kirk would be worth a 2nd rounder, but we aren't going to have very many teams competing with us, because they also know they can get a WR in the draft. Teams will compare the quality of the WR they think they can get and the draft pick they are being asked to give up. First round - no way. Second round - nah, third round you get into guys like Van Jefferson - hmmmmm maybe. Fourth round - talent, but projects -yea I am game.

In other words he heard Jerry say, "Boy there are some great slot receivers out there we'd love to have" and now he's running with it.

 

[Carson]

Could just sign Taylor Gabriel

 

[CowboyRoy]

This loaded draft group of WRs and we want to trade a draft pick? Geez

Its all about price. Are you saying you woudnt even inquire?

 

[Teague31]

Fish figures if he just goes ahead and links us to every player in the league at some point he will be correct

 

[Proof]

I would be all in on #17 for Adams, a 4th for a proven vet slot WR, and signing Kirkpatrick. Then go best DT, DE, CB, or LB in rounds 2 and 3. Then clean up on day 3 with TE, OL, QB, and any defensive player representing good value. They would be a much better team if this played out.

Add Desmond king to the list of guys is at least check on

I said in a later post I’d be fine with day 3.

We could trade them a VHS set of the 3rd season of 'Mama's Family' for him.

Maybe.

Yep.......I would start out offering a 6th rounder and go from there.

 

[Alexander]

So tell me how or why the Cardinals would not be demanding a second for Kirk? Why not just draft our guy there?

As for Goodwin, I will pass. Too unreliable and he really fits the Spagnola Principle.

That is pretty much what a hack does.

Goodwin would be another good one.

We need a veteran to backup the starters and be WR#3, and a draft pick who could do the same next year.

Gallup or Cooper can move into the slot when we go 3 wide. I'm against getting the usual midget slot WR just because they're supposed to be midgets.

 

[Batman1980]

I don't like Goodwin. All talent, no production.

 

[GMO415]

Trade for a WR with a WR talented draft? Not gonna happen

 

[DoctorChicken]

I don’t support a trade, but I love Goodwin as a person. Upstanding character and great guy.

Lynn Bowden can.
