my objection to watkins at 3 isn't really an objection against watkins as a player. Don't get me wrong he is an explosive playmaker and a nicely polished wide receiver with good hands and a knack for making big plays and I would love to have him on the roster but I am very against taking a wideout that high

 

regardless of blackmons status I wouldn't address the wide receiver position before the 4th round. I feel like this draft has enough depth that we could find impact receivers in the later rounds to take place on the roster next to brown shorts and sanders

 

you are going to get a  wide receiver like benjamin or beckham with so much potential in the back end of the first or even the second round, a great guy like moncrief in the 3rd or even an abbederis in the 4th. Plus having seen what sullivan can do with guys like shorts, brown and sanders I have faith in his ability to make gems of late round guys.

last year we were 21st in passing yards with henne and gabbert under centre, 31st in rushing and joint last in sacks which to me says it all and remember we have only added 2 pass rushers in fa

 

chris clemons a 32 year old coming off an acl injury and watson an unproven olb. Yes it's an improvement and a welcome one but if clemons gets injured again or isn't as productive after the injury we're in a similar spot to last year. We start pressuring our opponents and we will start getting turnovers, the offense will get more time on the ball and so we will put up more passing yards.

 

add to that watkins is not exactly better value than mack at 3

 

mack isn't von miller and watkins is not megatron a 6-5 guy running a sub 4.4 but both are very good players worthy of a top 10 pick and both have the talent to be potential probowlers.

 

however we can afford to take a wideout and ignore a clowney or a mack who could become the centrepiece of our defense and by their play and the attention they would take elevate that of our whole defense

 

if i had to choose a wide out in this draft I would take:

moncrief in the 3rd

cody latimer in the 5th

jeff janis in the 6th

l'damian washington in the 7th

 

all of them are big frame guys with good speed and ounces of potential for sullivan to develop allowing us to use the higher round picks building our lines
