Filling the Shoes of Martavis Bryant

You could also cite all the ones they got right as well, because there are a lot of them. And are there any specific concerns you have with James Washington?

There are more they got wrong. I left them out as i was just pointing out higher picks that we all got excited about.

I'm not a receivers coach or a scout. As far as i know washington will be a HOF'r ,, or he will be Limas Sweed. Which is my point about wanting to bring in a veteran receiver.
 
Washington can honestly go either way. If he gets better at feigning and route cuts on the proper foot, taking better angles back to the ball, he will be fine. I do like his hands, and his competitiveness. If he can fight in the pros with that chip on his shoulder, he will do well. If he is unsure and takes missteps, he won't be productive.
 
How the HELL are we EVER going to replace 40.2 yards per game and 12.1 yards per catch.

How the HELL are we EVER going to replace all the end arounds he got stuffed on, & find a receiver who when he gets touched doesn't go to the ground.

How the HELL are we EVER going to replace a prima donna who does NOT have the stats of a prima donna worth putting up with all his prima donna BS.

How the HELL are we EVER going to replace Martavius Bryant? There is VERY LITTLE TO REPLACE........................

Yeah I think that is the area we need to see. That route tree. I tell you his speed is like a sneaky speed. I think he is going to surprise in that area, much like he did in college. Even so he will need to develop that full route tree..........

Then I think he'll be fine, because scouts at the Senior Bowl were marveling at his his pretty refined route-running ability already and by all accounts, he's a smart dude who'll be learning from the best in AB and Coach Drake.

I'm hoping so. He just has a weird body type. He looks like a small LB going out for patterns. Really a unique body style. I don't know if this team is thinking Hines Ward. If he's half the WR Hines was, we have a steal in the 2nd.
 
4 wide you can have both brown and Washington to stretch the field and juju for the slot and Vance as a safety valve chip and release with bell in the backfield, and inside the 30 you can bring in hunter to be opposite of brown with juju and washinton to work the middle and samuals in the back field.
