[QUOTE=squidkid;591012]i'm only assuming he's trying to fool some more people into thinking he's worth the money.
i think wr and rb are the easiest positions to find in the nfl.
most wrs are only as good as the qb throwing to them. the elite ones that you need to get or keep are the big, physical ones[/QUOTE] I disagree about the big physical WR. It is a smart physical WR that will be his worth. And yes I am talking about the Hinds Ward, AB, Cotchery, AR EL, Louis Lipps, Lynn Swann, Santonio Holmes, Courtyney Hawkins, and Sanders. All Smurfs and good to great NFL WR's. And this is just for the Steelers. Check this list yourself.

TE can be the big guy in the red zone. Also most are right on here that the QB matters also. :)

[QUOTE=squidkid;591055]im not disputing a smart, tough a but small receivers arent valuable. i want to couple that(brown) with a tall, physical wr and/or te[/QUOTE] TE I agree. But still a good to great tall WR must be very rare. Unless 6-2 or 6-3 is tall? The really big almost TE sized WR like Megaton with enough speed and wiggle seems like a unicorn. Was Plex really that much better then Ward or AB even? Lets forget his small brain. :) Just talking WR production and talent. There seems to be more then few really big WR's in this draft with talent. But will they pan out in the NFL.? And it takes a premium pick for them most times. Were the smurfs can be had 3rd or lower which is nice. Also would like to give Wheaton a chance. Now a big WR to develop in a later round draft steal kind of guy would be great. Maybe Moye or Brown can be that player this coming season after being around AB and JC. The Sweed pick still gives me the chills. And Plax had his issues when here and after. Also something to look at is the bigger WR in Haley's offence? How have they done in AZ and KC? Yes the QB matters in both of them stats but just wondering how he works with the big WR. Yes I know he had Fitz.:)

The production trumps the size.

Makes sense. Much easier and more common to find the Wes Welkers, Danny Amendolas, Antonio Browns in the draft than the C Johnsons, A Johnsons. The Steelers seem to get it, but their talent evaluation goes deeper because they typically find these gems where others have overlooked.
Oh, and btw, don't miss M Wallace in the slightest. He got what he wanted, and so did the Steelers. So it all worked out good.

who's advocating drafting a big, physical pass catcher that doesnt produce over a small, weak one that does?

agreed because there are more of them. this year the steelers sucked enough to put themselves in position to draft one of the rare big wrs.
why not be one of the few teams in the league that have the luxury of pairing a physical freak wr with one of those a wrs that every team has?
