Yet Another Wide Receiver Thread

[Daseal]

I'm not personally for them. I would rather keep Gardner or give McCants/Jacobs an expanded role than taking one of these two (who would also probably look for a contract.)

Can't say I'm big on Givens or Patten either. Patten is a pretty average receiver (as mentioned earlier) and although Givens is fairly effective around the goal line, we already get that same quality from Gardner (who I still think we should trade) and McCants (who is under-utilized).
I know it's off the topic, but I think we would do well to use also Rock Cartwright in short yardage and goal line situations. He was very good in that role under Spurrier, and while he doesn't have Portis's all around skills and big play ability, he is stockier, tougher, and harder to see when running for hard-earned yards between the tackles. Curious about what others think on the subject.
