Why not Keenan McCardell?

I don't have a problem with the fade route, but any coach who tells his QB to throw it high and playable doesn't know what he's doing.

Look at Dallas. They had T.O. one on one on the goal line, and they ran a quick fade and threw it on his back shoulder. We can do that with Moss and ARE, and we did do that with McCardell already.

To me, taking a receiver in the draft only makes sense if we are ready to move Moss out of that No. 1 role. Giving him the 6 games down the stretch to prove he's still elite seems like the right course of action at this point.

Teams should never, ever, ever, ever draft a receiver on the first day who they don't feel can be their number one in the future. No. 2 and 3. and 4. receivers are just so very easy to find, I mean McCardell and Caldwell were on the scrap heap just 2 months ago.

I think the td to T.O. was a fade stop where it looks like they're going to throw the fade but the receiver turns early and catches it short. That only works when you have the threat of the fade route. That's why springs' back was turned, he thought it was going to be high pass. Instead, had he been looking, he could have definitely defended that pass, probably picked it.
