Draft a wideout

I think that was part of Jake's problem with Keyshawn. He was throwing the ball up for him to go get just like he used to do with Moose. The problem is that Keyshawn could not go get it as well as Moose did. Hence you get interceptions against the Bengals and Eagles. Maybe next year Jake will know what he can and can trust Keyshawn to do and it will eliminate that sort of thing.

 

No, we don't. You have an irrational dislike for Keyshawn for some reason, we're not asking Carter to be more than a third receiver, and while he has been a disappointment there's no reason that Colbert can't be our fourth. We need a return man, and if that player happens to be a WR then so be it, although a CB would work better for us.

Dude, I have already explained to you how completely wrong you are about this. Don't make me break out screenshots to expose you yet again. Keyshawn ran the correct route and could do nothing about Kaesviharn being in front of him to intercept a pass Jake absolutely never should have thrown (note that Jake didn't even throw it high, he threw it as if he had no idea that the safety was standing right there), and there was nothing Keyshawn could do about the fade that never should have been thrown against Philadelphia either. What he did do is to make a number of circus catches all season long, especially along the sidelines.

Seriously man, you really need to just give it a rest until you can come to a realistic grasp of the facts.

 

Even if your opinion is right and mine is wrong you are still faced with the fact that Keyshawn is getting old and may not play much longer. Most wideouts do not blossom until the third year so it would be wise to add someone in this draft.

 

Other than he can't seem to get open anymore and couldn't catch snow in the middle of a blizzard, sure. Why not?

 

I would be okay with Colbert at the fourth if he could do anything other than play receiver. He doesn't return kicks or play any special teams. I would just as soon take my chances with someone else who could make an impact in that phase.

 

The 4th isn't that important and, unless hankton (or equivalent) is gone, he'd probably be inactive anyway. If that 4th spot was a returner, he'd be active, which is what I'd want there anyway, but we also have an open spot at CB, where we could fit in a returner also.


4th WR is a potentially good place to stash a player, though, and given Keyshawn's advanced age and quirky actions so far in the offseason, and the idea that Carter will be UFA next year, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to get someone to groom/return some kicks. It's just not a dire need like, say, S.

 

Colbert has had plenty of chances to step up and do something. I would just as soon cut him loose and give someone new a shot. Maybe Colbert can catch on somewhere else and be a better fit.

 

honestly, I don't disagree, I just don't know it'll happen. The important thing, IMO, is that he have to fight for that roster spot, and not just slide in because he's young and cheap.

 

If a talented WR falls into our lap the way that Marshall did last season, I'd be absolutely fine with that, I just object to the notion that we "need" to draft a WR. We don't. WR is near the bottom of our list of priorities, possibly even last.

 

You certainly see the need for a returner, and you'd most likely agree that a returner is as likely to be a WR as a CB, and quite possibly moreso; certainly, more than a RB and with our expected foursome at RB for 2007 there's no room for one at RB.
