Not enamoured with WR prospects

[jterrell]

You probably don't know this, but I wonder how that compares to other years.

Pretty standard. it is why WR is arguably the easiest position to fill.
Draft this year is very soft for WR at the top end.
But there are a ton in round 2-4 WRs.

I'm sure it makes it tougher to get a good one, too, though. It's kind of like looking at a police lineup. The more options you have who look very similar, the easier it is to pick the wrong guy.

Yup. All these guys have warts so you gotta pick your flaws and go with it.

This isn't the Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs, Jefferson draft by any means. And you can put three of these guys together and they don't touch Chase as a prospect.
You've gotta mix of injury, scheme, size, speed, hands concerns.
Solid players but quite possibly no surefire WR1s.

That's why I would not draft any of them in the 1st.

Flowers in the 1st of Josh Downs in the 2nd? Both are 5-9.

Flowers is who we want - and need. We already have the TCU kid in Lamb.

I think he’d be a great compliment to be our long term version of Cooks.

Could be. I know teams have trouble figuring out who will succeed, otherwise another 5-9 receiver (Carolina's Steve Smith) would have been a first-round pick instead of third and Tavon Austin (OK, he's 5-8) would have been third round or lower instead of first.
