Ryan Grant - Pick # 142 Overall

SirLK26 · 05-10-2014, 06:00 PM

How is it fair that Seastrunk gets his own thread before this dude? Discuss Grant here.

My question is: "What does this move mean for our current WR corps?"

^Seastrunk is the better player, and I don't think it means much of anything right now.

With the first man crush of 2014, the warpath selects, EARTHQUAKE!

man you are making every excuse for the guy. he is the second coming of Darren Sproles or is it Sultan McCullough?

I don't see how Seastrunk, other than his name, is better than a guy who had 75+ catches, 1,100 + yards each of the last two years. Grant I think can contribute.

Averaging 8-9 yards a carry will do that, I think Grant can contribute, but I think Seastrunk is the better player right now, just plays a devalued position.

Hey, he's got some legit hands. Although it's definitely a crowded group ahead of him.

Robinson, Hankerson, Gettis, Williams? You've got a rookie with great hands breathing down your neck; step up or face the consequences.

Good hands and solid route running. Just not the burner speed. He may develop into a good #4 or possession receiver in our corp. he has potential to beat out the best of the rest of our WRs in a year or two.

Like another receiver the Redskins had.... Art Monk. Not saying he will ever be that good but he could end up being a good possession receiver.

I guess I am just splitting hairs ... Not like we really needed another WR either lol

Ryan Grant can clearly play, but he's more of a quiet production guy than a physical marvel, and it is not clear to me where he fits in the receiver rotation on this team. He may very well end up being a better option than Andre Roberts down the road, but then you have all this money invested in Andre Roberts.

So u can't draft a guy with similar skill set to Andre Roberts? All this money, I don't think Roberts contract restricts our ability to pay anybody

You can, and they did.

Quiet production is always useful.

I'd like to see how hard it would be to get out of the Roberts contract in the third year. It was only a 4 yr/15-16mil. Not a cap killer that's for sure, and if we are some how replacing him with a guy who would be making 675k in the final year of his contract I am sure the cap hit would not be felt as much because of the cheap contract of his replacement.

It's not that hard to get out of the cap hit at any point really, but spent money is spent money.
