Randall Cobb

[loudnproudcolt]

I know what most are going to say about this, but Grigson has stated we need more WR depth, since we cannot be sure how Carter will adapt, Montcrief should continue developing, but TY is the only proven commodity, in addition to Allen and Fleener, but they are not WR's. My guess is Grigson gets one in the draft, I would love Jaelen Strong at 29, but what about Randall Cobb.

The WR pool is deep, but he may be the best one who actually hits FA. Thomas, Bryant and Maclin are going to get tagged if no extension. I know he is going to demand around 9M/yr. but we have the cap money, he would be an incredible slot receiver who we could use on screens, end arounds, and he can be a punt returner. The kid is only 24 years old. I know the Jags, Oakland, Cleveland, and Jets will throw boatloads of money at him, but if he wants to play with an elite QB, and make the money he wants, he would be a great fit for us, and our offense if we get the line right, and a RB in the draft would be incredible. He is dynamic and young, so before you say too much, we need a WR, and he is a proven commodity.

Will likely be way too expensive.

 

He wants 8-10 Mill a year.

 

So does TY.      Too much money given to WR's.

 

I'd like to pick-up a FA WR,  just one a little more affordable.

 

I know Cobb is good,  but the WR we take on has got to fit our budget.

[Bluefire4]

Nope. Let's look at other vets on the market.

[Manning1887]

I would pass. Too many good wide receivers in the draft. 

 

I would like to see Phillip Dorsett in the 2nd round. Perhaps Titus Davis with one of our 6th round picks.

I like Cobb...he is better than T.Y....and would provide insurance against Rosenhaus for T.Y.s next contract.

Somehow I don't see Grigson taking a receiver with our first pick. Too many will be free agents as time passes. But as always, we never know what Grigson is going to do. I think Carter might turn out better than some anticipate.

I like Cobb a lot but for him to leave Green Bay they'd almost have to show him the door. There is no other scenario that he'd be better off in than where he is now. Someone would have to come knocking with an offer that the Packers would laugh at and as much as I like Cobb, I hope we don't go knocking. Besides, Nelson is the one I'd want any way.

Someone also mentioned Phillip Dorsett who I'd like in the 3rd round if we went heavy on D with our 1st and 2nd.

Random thought;

I can't believe I actually thought DHB would ball out for us. Lol.

You think Cobb is better than TY I don't see that at all remember he has Jordy getting a lot of attention on the other side

Maybe I'm a homer but I take TY over Cobb all day

[UKColt13]

8-10mil a year is way too much for a receiver that won't be a number one on your team for the foreseeable future barring injuries.

 

I like Cobb and he is very good, just not 8-10mil good.

[Valpo2004]

I'd prefer to get Eddie Royal.  Good solid receiver, does his job, a stick mover.  Won't cost a lot of money.
