Ebron

He didn't call any one out. You brought up donations, Glenn. Enough already.

 

OK.

 

Thats rich, coming from you about calling people out.

 

Nope because then he'd have that one piece of the equation that he's missing IMO.. size.

Size matters..

 

Absolutely!!

 

Regarding Markus Wheaton, I just meant he won't match Sanders production from last year, in terms of this year and maybe the year after. Sanders had 740 yards and 6 TDs last year. I think Wheaton will be a while before he matches that production. I want our offense to be better than last year. Will AB match his numbers from last year? I think that would be tough to do, but let's hope. So I am just trying to find where our production will come from in 2014.

I think after his combine there's a great chance that Evans will be gone by #15. Even if he gets close to us, I still wouldn't be surprised if either Baltimore or the NY Jets traded ahead of us in order to secure him. There's a much greater chance Ebron is available IMO.

 

Statistically, AB put #1 numbers. There's no denying him there. Let's see how he looks this upcoming season. Hopefully he can or will come close to duplicating 2013 numbers. His greatest ability is to create separation and put up great YAC numbers.

Is he a DOMINANT receiver? Not yet and I'm just not sure he ever gets to that level. Someone on 3rd and 4 and YOU KNOW the ball is going to go his way and he still comes up with the catch. He's going to see alot more double coverage in 2014 I expect. Let's see how he does.

 

I agree, mostly. I think we could get around 500 yards from Ebron in his first year similar to what Eifert did for the Benglas last year but I don't understand why any WR we draft is going see the field much with Wheaton, Moye and J Brown all sitting in front of them and all with year under their belt. Especially Wheaton, whom I am expecting a lot more from, with Sanders most likely being gone.

 

I don't follow, he put up 973 yards this season? And that's without Ben as his QB. With the other weapons we have, I wouldn't expect that from him and also it being his first year, I suspect the numbers would be lower.

As for his drops, numbahs said that anything that touches his hands is considered a drop if he doesn't haul it in, I don't think thats exactly a fair evaluation given this guys catch radius. He gets his mitts on a lot balls that others might not come close to.

 

Anyone we draft still have to make the transition to the pros, big difference from college, have to learn the playbook too. Wallace in his first season had around 700 yards I think, no WR we draft would come close to those numbers because they can't come close to his speed.

 

If we drafted a WR at #15, I can assure you, he would not be sitting behind Wheaton, Moye & J Brown. Maybe on the 1st day of training camp I guess, but it wouldn't be for long.

 

If he's not ready, he's not going to play, really that simple. If Wheaton, Moye and Brown can go out and do better because they know more, they will, they aren't going to sacrifice wins and losses just to get a 1st rounder on the field.

I know Bell wasn't a first round pick, but MT flat out said, if he can't do his job blocking, hes not playing.

If we take a WR in the 1st round, he'll only see the field if he knows what he is doing.
