Seriously though I have a question.
I mentioned that I wish we could draft Malcom Kelly this year, although I was dreaming about getting him in the 2nd round. But lets say he was avaliable at #12, I'd take him.
However, one poster mentioned that we already have a good possession WR in Brandon Marshall and we don't need another. That is what Malcom Kelly is being billed as; a possession WR. In fact, I believe in his write up on NFL.com, they call him a 'west-coast' WR.
The concept I see here is that almost everyone wants a burner to stretch the field(ie Bernard berrian, and like ol' Ashley Lelie).
But isn't one of the problems that Javon has with our offense is that WR are asked to block so much? We are a run first offense that requires our WRs to help considerably in the run game.
Think back to our Super Bowl teams. Eddie Mac and Rod Smith. Which one was the burner who stretched the field? Were they not just two excellent 'west-coast' WRs who could run precise routes and catch the ball and who weren't afraid to get dirty when it came to run blocking?
How could anyone not want someone who would not only catch everything thrown at him(Kelly has been credited with only one dropped pass in the past two seasons) and knows how to block(Oklahoma is a run first offense)?
Just wondering what the rest of ya'll think. I mean, I understand we have greater needs than WR(DT, LB, S, OL), but how many would really be that upset if we picked up Kelly at #12 if there wasn't another player of his caliber available in a need area for us?
