(Take this with a grain of salt, I'm not stamping it just yet. I am making what I beleive is a solid case for the route of our problems without assuming the youn guys will get that much better at this point...)
Lots of slot receivers, no real outside WR.
Givens is not a very good outside WR. Yes he's a good deep threat because he's fast. However, his hands aren't that great and you can almost forget about a catch in traffic. I'm not sold he's the answer.
Pettis isn't really much running routes past 8 yards. His length and hands make him a good short yardage guy.
Quick! He was an X-Factor coming into this year. What I mean by that is his performance was crucial because we have no one else with his skill set. He's not got it done. He should be an every down player by now and he doesn't look like he's improved much from the beginning of this year. I'm not willing to give up on him just yet, but we need a guy that at least has reliable hands out there...
I know many just want to trade down but I'm thinking it wont do us that much good. This team doesn't have a ton of needs anymore. Even WR isn't a big need because we have 5 solid ones, just not one dynamite outside WR. We have not had a true number since Holt. I just want to at least solve this problem in the offseason...
At this point I'm a Watkins fan or trade down then get Evans scenario. I'm not crazy about Evans at this point either...
