Considering the injuries Morgan played through I thought he did a solid enough job. Hopefully he can step it up now that he should be healthier.

I think we are trying to build our WRs the way the Packers and Saints are. AKA what RGIII had in college. Four guys that can hurt you in different ways.

1. Garcon- Go to guy, Good route runner, tough, plays like a possession receiver but has enough speed to run away from most defenders which is a plus.

2. Morgan- Has the size to shield away defenders. Great blocker, can go over the middle, has decent enough straight line speed, good hands.

3. Hankerson- Has size and speed, but like Smoot said needs to improve work ethic.

4. Robinson/Draft pick- The "speedster", can fly by anyone and requires a safety to help on him just because he is that fast.

I think we have what is the potential to be a superior WR core in the NFL. I think Hankerson takes that step this season along with Morgan and Garcon will continue to be our top WR as he projected to 1200 yards this season had he not been injured. With Moss getting up there in age I think we need that 4th guy to make our WR core deadly and Davis returning helps a lot.

Good post.

I'd rather add a weapon at RB in the draft, but I won't hate it if we add another WR. The more Griffin has to work with the better.

R u not fully sold on ALF ? Or r u meaning just add a hybrid rb?

I cant seem to get the embeding to work so here is just a link:

I really like Justin Hunter. Seems to me to be a playmaker.

Pretty sure what most are talking about in a back is a scat back who is a threat to catch the ball and make plays with speed rather than a bruiser like Morris. AM is our all day back but a nice change in speed would help spell Alfred and give the defense something else to contend with.

I think it is more that Helu still isn't healthy and there are a lot of underrated backs who can fill that 3rd down change of pace back (Andre Ellington, Giovanni Bernard, Kenjon Barner)

I agree, I think we will go after a Josh Boyce or a Stedman Bailey in the 4th or 5th but I dont think Bailey will be there in the 5th but I would rather add a RB as well than a WR to help spell Morris.

I can see that but I'd hope not taking one with our first pick

Dont see that happening.

I'd prefer Terrance Williams over Justin Hunter. TW already has familiarity with RG3, is healthier, and can catch. Hunter has already torn his ACL and has Julio Jones hands.

I'm behind the scat back idea. Having a shifty speedster coming from our backfield would make our offense even more deadly.

Can't remember him being injured much in Indy, but then again it's not like he saw a lot of action/wear and tear there.

Unless you have a player with elite potential no need going out of your way as your Recievers production should be a combination of your offensive system and your QB play.

Personally I'm more worried about Tight End. Davis is not only coming off that achilies but is easily, if not already, one more YouTube video or blunt away from a suspension. With his luck someone will post a video of him kicking a puppy and its female owner while smoking a joint.

Paul's lack of hands make me nervous and Cooley is no longer Captain Chaos. More like Honorary Adviser Chaos.

That's an excellent post. You didn't mention Paulsen, but I reckon it's because you see him as the (only) sure thing at TE?

Oh shit! Is this his story at Redskins Park and do we know if they're trying to mentor him?

I am behind this move all the way.
