brownman Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This guys a beast! I wouldn't be upset to pick him up early in the draft if he's available. I'm just a little torn as to who to go with if he's available, and RG3 is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If one of the top qbs is available you have to go for him... if you can't a trade down or someone like Blackmon or Kalil is a decent consolation prize. Moving Trent to the Right and having Kalil hold up the left may be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If you think Blackmon will be available in a trade down situation then I have a beach-front condo in AZ for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If I were in charge, I will have two ways of approaching the off-season. Option A: Draft Luck or RG3 in the first round and sign a Free Agent receiver (preferably Dwayne Bowe with Colston and V.Jackson constellation prizes) Option B: Sign Matt Flynn and pray that Blackmon falls to us. This is the riskier option, so if Blackmon doesn't to fall to us if we signed Flynn, I would start trading back. I am pretty sure the FO isn't thinking this way, or maybe they are, but I do hope we get us a QB and find a game changing Wide Receiver......

Santana_Fan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Some people think that the Browns take RG3, but I think the Browns will go after Blackmon. Give McCoy a weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cen Tex Skins Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Blackmon is awesome and I would love for us to have him but sadly that's not gonna happen.He won't be there at 6 and if we trade up it will be for RGIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 He smells too much of Peter Warrick to me.... he even has the 28 year old quarterback. We don't need another 6'1" wide reciever... we need a 6'4" Alshon Jeffrey or a 6'3" Michael Floyd type. Personally, I'd go Alshon, and then trade back into 14 with next years first and our second and one fourth to grab Tannehill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the needing a 6'4 receiver and would be okay with grabbing Alshon if McNutt isn't there.Disagree on the other,not a fan of Tannehill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because height and being over 6'4" automatically makes you a star receiver. Remember Anthony Mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably go late in the 1st. You trade down for that kind of pick. Personally, I think Floyd is the man to draft. Dude is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm conceding Blackmon's out of the picture, so I'm more focused on the other WRs that might be available later on. I like Nick Toon in the middle rounds. He's got a decent mix of size and speed, and with his pedigree, you know he'll know how to play the position. Jordan White' and AJ Jenkins are some other ones to look for in that 2-4 range. ---------- Post added January-4th-2012 at 09:18 AM ---------- Yes, because height and being over 6'4" automatically makes you a star receiver.Remember Anthony Mix? I still say they should've just thrown it up to Anthony Mix a couple times in the end zone. Forget about being a star receiver, can he jump straight up and catch a jump ball or fade once a game. I guess we'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSimports Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I love the idea of grabbing another top 10 LT. Why not? You could really address our offensive line plus have better depth (With Brown becoming a backup). Then swing around in the 2nd round an pick up the Boise State QB + Flynn as a FA.

DC9 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yes, because height and being over 6'4" automatically makes you a star receiver.Remember Anthony Mix? Yes... but was he a top 10 pick like Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitz? We've had these little tiny guys who are wide recievers, they haven't done much for us. Quarterbacks need big men in the red zone. We need a big target that can go up and snag a fade. ---------- Post added January-4th-2012 at 09:23 AM ---------- No one takes Alshon at #6 overall. No one. He will probably go late in the 1st.

Well, let me be the first to invite you to look at the mocks, where Alshon has been the number 1 rated reciever all off season and is going anywhere from 4-10 in all of the mocks I've seen. I love Floyd and he's more of a playmaker, but he's had two DUI's at Notre Dame already. That's why his stock is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI Blackmon also has a DUI arrest ---------- Post added January-4th-2012 at 08:27 AM ---------- As I see it, I think the worst case scenario for us in this draft is for the top five picks to be, in no particular order... Luck RGIII Kalil Blackmon Claiborne ...because the next BPA is Richardson and we don't need a RB. Any one of those above would be worth the 6th pick to us if we couldn't trade up or down.

It has to do more with separation and route running and the ability to use your body than size. A 6'1" receiver like Blackmon can play just as big as a 6'4 receiver and be more effective. There's tons of true #1 receivers who are 6'1 and under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was at the gym running on the treadmill when that happened. I didn't hear what was said but it looked more like a scuffle and the cornerback threw the punch, Alshon just pushed him.

As late as Christmas he had him in the top 10 but in his most recent mock he has him at 21. My thing is, we don't need a Blackmon type reciever. We have guys who can run routes and catch. We have Armstrong who can get deep if he has a quarterback to throw too him. But we don't have a guy who is big to go up and get the rebound. We move the ball very well between the 20's and then we stall. A big reciever can solve that, I am not confident that Blackmon is that kind of a reciever. If we can't trade up, I'd try and trade back and pick up Floyd. As I said earlier, he is more of a playmaker. Alshon is MUCH slower than Floyd and has less TDs. I think Floyd has 37 touchdowns in 4 years at Notre Dame. He's a beast and he's also a phenominal possession reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstarr Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Blackmon is going to be a young Andre Johnson. He has been the best receiver in College football 2 years running. Anyone who gets him, will have a beast of a wr who will command the double team by year 2 in the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
