Volume WR, Who is it Gonna Be?

Who's to say Moore or Perriman can't be a volume receiver? I know they're both billed as deep threats -- especially Moore, who people consider a one trick pony -- but I see no reason why Perriman couldn't be that type of receiver. Moore has his issues with hands and route running that might put a damper on that, but Perriman could fill that role, imo.

I definitely think BP can be our number 1 guy with 80+ receptions, him and Joe just really need more time together.
Although I believe he can get to that point this year, I think it is more reasonable to think he doubles his production this year, which would give him 66 rec / 1000 yards. That being said hopefully with these numbers, he assists in creating mismatches for our other WRs and TEs that may be involved in the play.

Yea i believe he ends up with around 70 this year. I have a feeling hes going to have a slow start but have a very strong second half.

if we are talking about val-ium WRs my money is on campy
If he can stay healthy, he will be our secret weapon

We should trade for Marqise Lee Before he seriously breaks out and would cost to much. If this draft class works out and we trade for Marqise we are Super Bowl contrnders

Ya know what man, im gonna jump on this wagon with you. I dug up some film on him and read some things, i like that he would offer something in the return game, which i have been a huge advocate for bringing someone in just for returns. Do you see him as a slot guy? He does not look 6foot on tape he looks tiny. A 4th round pick for him id be ok with, maybe even a 3rd
I love Lee and was a huge advocate for him in 2014 when he was coming out of the draft, but he's such a frail, small wide receiver that injuries will likely always be a concern for him.

He's at his best when he's on the outside and can fight single coverage.

I would not want him in the slot because he struggles catching in traffic and fighting through contested catches.

I dont get the love for Watkins. The guy is a beast but he cant stay healthy and will be a FA after this year, hes going to get 10 mill a year. Same instance with Jeffrey, just didnt get why people wanted him brought him. Trust me, we all want an upgrade and to be able to have THE GUY, but imagine the uproar if we go out and get that guy, pay him and then he gets hurt. Good god

And it would be the same people who had wanted him in the first place.

Exactly.
Thats my exact point, look at BP. Every single Raven fan holds their breath every time he goes to the ground. We drafted him and he never missed a game prior to his rookie year here in Baltimore. We know for a fact Watkins has an injury history. You are suppose to minimize risk. There is no logic in trading for a guy who missed half of last year and three games prior while giving up a draft pick and then having to sign him to a long term deal which would be 10+million easily.
He is a beast, no doubt, but to me it would be like signing Ryan Mathews when he left the Chargers for big money. Mathews missed 10 games his last year in SD and played the full year the year prior (which was his best year), its also the only year he played all 16 games in his 7 year career. Luckily Phili got him cheap, Sammy, however, will not be cheap. For a one year rental then ok, not bad if its for a 5th rounder or something. Just my opinion

Sammy is still only 23. He's had injuries but no season ending ones.. Just ones that lingered..
I really feel he is worth the risk. Anyhow, i'm not holding my breath.
With all due respct to perriman, he isn't close to the talent watkins is.

Id rather a season ending injury than the ones that linger, you never get healthy that way, trying to play through. And we honestly dont know what BP is compared to Watkins, now obviously Watkins has done it and looks a notch above BP, but i wouldnt be shocked to see BP hit 1k yards this season. Also, sometimes availability is the best ability.
Totally with joy on this one. I could easily see bp having a better career than Watkins. At this point Watkins hasn't come close to his draft status. It's really a shame, because the guy can't stay on the field, but has loads of talent. If he busts do to injury, he wouldn't be the first one to do so.

I dont think people are giving BP enough credit. This is why im slowly starting to be ok with our WRs right now, BP just needs to see more targets. He showed he can make crazy catches in traffic, the amount of times he caught with his hands and didnt body catch surprised me. I honestly am more worried about our run game

I would like Perriman to be that guy, but somehow this kid has emotional issues vis-a-vis confidence. He seems like a good kid that is over sensitive. That doesn't bode well for the rough and tumble NFL. But, if he can get his act togehter and gets going, he'll be terrific. I am rooting for him to realize his full potential.
