He will lead us in deep targets for sure but overall I would expect Doc and Crowder to get the bulk. V Davis / Reed will have huge impacts too, and of course CT.

I agree with skinsfan, I don't see Richardson touching 1k yard this season although I'm certain he will play a role in expanding our offense, which he should considering the contract he got from us.

i'll go ahead and take a wait and see on PR - hope for the best

P Rich had 8 drops on 52 catchable passes last yr, 8th worst drop % in the league. He's got to get better at that as well.

[Schneed10]

The key stat though is that Richardson had only 52 catchable balls thrown at him. You have to ask why - Doug Baldwin was their best WR so of course he draws the most but that Seattle offensive line was dismal. Wilson was running for his life on so, so many plays. And when speed is your #1 asset like it is for Richardson, it's just not very often that Wilson can find you.

Richardson's QB this year will be protected by stud Ts guarding the edges plus Scherff up the middle. I'm confident in Roullier too.

Even if Richardson continues to drop balls at the same % rate, he'll have more targets just by virtue of the fact that Smith will be protected well enough.

I don't know about 1000 yards but I definitely see him coming through with better numbers than he had in Seattle. His real value is the deep threat combined with the strong protection - defenses will be forced to play him deep leaving 7 man fronts for Guice.

We finally have a runner than can make a defense pay for consistent 7 man fronts. If Guice is 4.5 yards per carry like I think he'll be, then Paul Richardson is one of the first guys he'll have to thank for it.

Agreed 100%.
Like I said, watching All 22 version of Hawks game, it feels like PR would've gotten more than a 1000 yards had Wilson been better protected! He was open so many times but Russell just couldn't throw his way... finding a check down was already a miracle.

I think Richardson will have a really good season for us. He had 703 yards with virtually no OL...

Great points, we do have damn good Tackles. (well 1 is the goat) Wilson faced more pressure last season than any QB, I just don't know if PRich is anything more than a 1 trick pony. He hasn't really had a chance to show that yet so we will see. I think Josh will have the biggest impact at WR in the RZ for sure and for possession balls. Guice and CT will get a big workload too so I just don't see PR getting more than 4 catches a game

Speaking of WR's

I was going to post this news. Anyone familiar with those players in the supplemental draft? I don't know anything about those players..

CB Sam Beal is the highest rated, probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Adonis Alexander CB might be a later round pick.

The skins were at his workout too

So the Skins were there...makes sense. All three of these CB will be drafted, Bryant and Beal seem more talented than the Va Tech kid.

Ok, lets think...we could use the talent at CB and we are setting up for a large amount of compensory picks...

Why not go out and get a Corner now that would be drafted this coming year? If we like someone, put a grade on him and get him.


Brandon Bryant, Sam Beal to apply for NFL supplemental draft - NFL.com

Adonis Alexander to apply for 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft - NFL.com

Alexander is a pretty decent player as well. His size is great. 6-3 207...he is a little slow, so Safety could be in his future

[Irrefutable]

Does anyone know how the supplemental draft works? Do they go round by round like the regular draft, or do teams put in an offer (a draft choice pick) and the best offers get the rights to the players?

And more on Alexander;

[JoeRedskin]

Without googling it, I am pretty sure it's a bidding process. Teams submit the name and the draft choice they want to spend and then the player is awarded to the team that submitted the highest pick.

Generally, it's a pretty short list of available players.
