Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

I've never been one to open a can of worms but.....PT.1

With all the talk going on recently, I decided to walk the tight-rope and bring up one of the sore subjects that has gone on longer than the funk this team is in. Are you ready? The........wide-receivers. But draft gurus, go away, this will be about next years free-agents and (wishful thinking) possible trades. We might be able to sign one of these dudes if the money is there to do so. I was going to save this multi-position preview until later, but watching the other games this week made me a little brave to tread here. Admit it, the draft history of this organization has never really been good (lucky may be a better term)and as the current regime seems to think it is going to correct itself with a snap of their fingers. Nope, not going to happen. Since all the Ram's receivers are on the bubble, I've included them too. So, what are the other option(s)?

Trade(s)-

Rodney White is a good option with his team on the decline (good, but no longer elite), but what could we trade for him? Jason Smith or Banan, Salas and mid to late draft choice. I know, in my dreams. Someone please give me an option, Sam would have your eternal thanks with him at #1.

Brandon Marshall is another sports car with no engine to get him going. Too bad the FO hasn't grown a pair. He'd be wearing blue and gold this week.

Other signed top flight #1s are pretty much untouchables.

Get free agent from division opponent-

Ted Ginn, that's it. There isn't any other reciever I would kick the tires on. He's a number three, but could return punt and kicks better than what's on the team now.

Established #1s-

Reggie Wayne: very little injury history. Knows how to catch fire-balls and is a game changer.

Marcus Colston: funny how a superbowl puts you in the lime-light.

Vincent Jackson: doesn't want to play for us it seems, but other fans here like him too.

Up and coming #1s-

Bowe from K.C.: You won't have to move. Man, you will get a multi-year contract next year.

Brandon Lloyd: Rumors abound this year that may make this posting un-nessesary, but with this FO.

#2s-

Jordie Nelson: Easily a number one on this team. His YAC sure does pad Rogers stats. But who would ever want to leave a team that may win a few more superbowls.

Pierre Garcon: Small injury risk, but makes the tough catch in traffic. Need to sign him to 2+ years for reward to out-weigh the risk.

DX: Resign him FO, if he makes strides next year as he has this year, Jackpot!

Mark Clayton: If he comes back to 100% of what we saw last year, happy times for Sam.

Slot/#3-

Danny Amendola: Resign him, resign him and resign him. May your rehab reload you for next year.

Crayton from Dallas: Some-one that use to wear blue and gold may make him available to us next year.

Pettis: Don't trade him, or else!

Sims-Walker: If he cleans up his act, #3 is his only option next year.

Gibson: If he catches 50+ this year, he'll be back.

Curry: Special-teams gem.

Anybody else not mentioned that's on the team now will be traded,waived or cut. I relize this may be way too early for this posting. Of course, if the rams clean house, some of these guys won't come here unless Tony Dungy is Head Coach/GM and Jeff Fisher takes over the defense. But lighting a fire on the fan end now will be the only jolt I'll feel til 0 for becomes 1and.

I'm offended

I don’t know how to swim. So what sense does it make to jump in to save another person who is drowning? But if you mean he doesn’t create a scene to get some help or throw some object to rescue him then that’s a different story.

Meh on almost all of those

except V-Jax. Dwayne Bowe’s an interesting option, but man is he lazy.

I'd be very interested in Brandon Marshall if the opportunity presents himself

Vincent Jackson as well, but that’s about it for me.

It's put up or shut up time for these WR's. Someone's going to have to perform or else they'll all be hitting the street. ESPECIALLY YOU ALEXANDER

I think the drafts the way to go

   Start someone out with a pure Rams background and Sam’s long term weapon. Not against another option in addition, but we need Jeffery or Blackmon. I don’t often think a WR in the first is a good idea but I do now. I apologize for bringing up the draft?……no, I guess I don’t.

I have to agree that first round is the way to go

Here is a list of recievers taken in the first round:
Hakeem Nicks
Jeremy Maclin
Santana Moss
Calvin Johnson
Percy Harvin
Randy Moss
Roddy White
Julio Jones
Larry Fitzgerald
Torry Holt
Michael Crabtree
Jerry Rice
Joey Galloway
Mark Clayton
AJ Green
Braylon Edwards
Santonio Holmes
Andre Johnson
Reggie Wayne
Kenny Britt
Dwayne Bowe

I think that list speaks for itself.

You could probably make

just as nice of a list for each of the first seven rounds.;
plus (albeut shorter ones), for the 8th through 12th rounds,
and for undrafted free agents.

Furthermore, you could make just as long of lists for each round, for busts (read: guys who didn’t make it, regardless of projections).

Just sayin’. :)

There's a rumor

that TO visited one of the Rams work-outs during the lock-out. Now that explains the drops.
