2nd year WRs (1 Viewer)

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

List of 1st-4th round picks last year currently on a roster.

2nd year guys are just as likely to breakout as 3rd year guys, but 3rd year guys get all the hype. Which one of these sohpmores are gonna break out and put up 1,000 yards this year?

If Braylon hadn't torn his ACL, he'd run away with this poll. But he did, so he won't. A lot of hype surrounding Mark Clayton this year, but I'm not sold on him yet. Same for Reggie Brown. Matt Jones needs at least another year to develop IMO.

I'd love Chris Henry if his head were on straight and Palmer wasn't coming off the torn ACL.

I'm going with Roydell Williams, and Roscoe Parrish could be a nice dark horse.

 

[wannabee]

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie. I like Reggie Brown best. He definitely has the ideal situation. I might have been inclined to go with Chris Henry, and his high upside in talent, but I cannot imagine that he will be in the NFL in 3 years at this rate.

 

[Tommy Collins]

I would love to vote for Matt Jones but I think the situation Reggie Brown is in gives him the advantage.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Okay, who else voted for Roydell? Show yourself.

The situation of potential #1 WR for Jax is not good?

Not saying Leftwich isn't decent but I'd rather have McNabb throwing the ball to my FF WR. Also I think it's more clear that Brown is going to be the #1 guy in Philly.

Just curious, would you take Leftwich before McNabb in a FF draft?

 

[Bruno2]

I like Roddy White, I know the Falcons are one of the best running teams in the league and Crumpler is Vick's main target. But White is a big play WR who can get downfield, I think he will break into the starting lineup in his 2nd year.

I also like a guy as my darkhorse you left off your list-Mark Bradley. Before he injured his knee in October last year he had a nice game against Detroit and was looking like he was coming on a bit. In the first 8 games before injury he had 36 targets on a bad passing team. I think this year if he can come all the way back from the knee injury he could be a nice surprise late round pick up.

But but, Matt Jones is white!Reggie, Clayton, Edwards

 

[videoguy505]

I want to hear "Craphonso" every week on Sportscenter!

 

[BigGDan]

Mark Clayton. When McNair goes there, Clayton should blow up.

 

[Big Score]

FYI,White broke into the starting line up his first year.

I do agree that he "is a big play WR who can get downfield", but I'm concerned his QB will negatively off set that ability.

I also like a guy as my darkhorse you left off your list-Mark Bradley. Before he injured his knee in October last year he had a nice game against Detroit and was looking like he was coming on a bit. In the first 8 games before injury he had 36 targets on a bad passing team. I think this year if he can come all the way back from the knee injury he could be a nice surprise late round pick up.

I too liked what I was seeing from Bradley. But the ACL injury happening at the end of October, pretty much precludes him from having a big impact this year.

 

[bigreese82]

Roydell...from a homer..1,000 yds in the Titans offense as a #3 or #4 wr...and the #5-#6 receiving option

Maybe after Bennett is gone in 07

 

[The Carnage]

Okay, who else voted for Roydell? Show yourself.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I'm surprised that a guy as raw as Matt Jones is 2nd here.

 

[Limp Dogg Bizkits]

As the owner of M. Williams, B. Jones, and R. Brown, I am hoping that it is one of them! Most likely it will be Reggie Brown.

 

[houndirish]

Jones and Clayton owner but have to agree that Brown might be in the best position to flourish.

 

[MU Seminole]

Mark Clayton.

His last eight games: 32-376-2, add 8-33-1 rushing. Very solid numbers for a rookie. I love the fact that he's playing with Mason, whom Clayton greatly resembles, IMO.

I love his hands and short area burst. He's also much more polished than many of the others on the list.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

It just dawned on me, that only ONCE has the Reid/McNabb regime produced a 1,000 yard WR.

The best Eagles WRs before that would struggle to make top 24 @WR. Reggie Brown currently has an ADP of about WR24. Seems like he is being bought at his upside.

Lot of room for disappointment there.

Is there really something about Reggie that makes him a better play than Rod Smith at the same ADP?

 

[Bri]

David Givens made me lose my "love" for the Titan rookies. I just don't see how the 3 of them can contribute enough with Bennett and Givens getting the lion's share. Also, I read a minicamp report that Wade and Volek seem to have a chemistry between them and while minor that was like "the straw that broke the camel's back" for me.

I'm staying away from them this year.

I like Braylon. Show me why you were the number one pick. I've got my bag ready to put over my head but I like Mike Williams too. Matt Jones' athleticism+skills are a ridiculous combo and wow does he seem to have a bright future.

 

[msommer]

The general opinion on this board seems to be that Troy Williamson is a one trick pony. I differ, but we'll see.

FWIW, IIRC he was running with the first team in the minicamp

Again, this goes to whether you think Reggie Brown is as bad as Stinkston and Fredex.He isn't.

OTOH, is he as good as TO? The other WRs on the roster (Gaffney/Lewis) are gonna catch some balls... Gaffney is pretty talented in his own right IMO. Westbrook and LJ Smith are gonna get theirs. Is Brown head and shoulders above everyone else? Is he a guy you HAVE to get involved during the game?That's what has me worried about the Eagles situation. There's no WR on that squad that you point out and say "he HAS to get the ball every game, he's too good not to".

 

[Bri]

While it's nice to hear and thanks for posting it, FWIW=very little as he got time with the first unit last summer too.IMO He's at a point(or the vikings are) where he'd better be working with the first unit

was this before Smith retired? I don't think so....that didn't change your mind some?

 

[EBF]

I think Matt Jones offers the best combination of talent and opportunity. If any of these guys is going to have a monster season, then I think it'll be him. He has freak potential and a good chance to be his team's top target. People act like Wilford is the team's best WR, but he hasn't exactly lit the world on fire. The way I see it, this is an open competition. I'd put my money on Jones.

Reggie Brown is an intriguing option, but he seems like the classic sophomore WR who's overrated after a decent rookie year. I think he'll do okay, but anything more than 900 yards and a handful of TDs will surprise me. My guess is that he'll finish in the 700-850 yards range.

Mark Clayton is also a decent pick. I don't think he has superstar potential, but he could post a high-reception 900-1,000 yard season if things fall in his favor. That said, Mason is still playing well and Heap will vulture yards and TDs. I'd temper my expectations.

Williams and Williamson are wild cards. They each have some potential, but I don't see it happening quite yet.

Braylon Edwards and Mark Bradley probably won't make much noise next year, but are interesting long-term options. Bradley is a huge value pick in dynasty drafts. He can often be had 100 picks later than Reggie Brown and Mark Clayton, which is fairly ridiculous when you really think about it.

I'd like to hear a few comments from the Vincent Jackson crowd.

Of course he isn't as good as TO, who is? But nobody I know is projecting him to be the #1 WR in FF, maybe top 20.

[Bri]

I'd like to hear a few comments from the Vincent Jackson crowd.

nothing to say that wasn't said last year.He's a freak and if he can stay healthy he should be a good player possibly even dominant. However, how many games can you use him for during your ffseason? And who sits? Keenan or Parker?

He's about a year away from some serious production IMO. Keenan will retire and he'll move in OR he'll be hurt all year and the Chargers will either try Floyd and Osgood out at WR or draft another WR. He could inadvertently force their hand

 

[Trig2U]

Speaking of freaks... how 'bout that Matt Jones?!

I also like Reggie Brown, and Mark Clayton will continue to step up.

But Jones, as raw as he still is, is just outrageously talented. I saw him make a couple of plays on the field last year that made me jump out of my seat and yell "WOW!".

I dunno, Leftwich is good, Wilford should contribute and help keep defenses honest, the Jags defense is good... it just seems to me like the chances of Matt Jones grabbing a big chunk of those Jimmy Smith numbers that are up for grabs aren't too far fetched.

Do they have the same ADP in a redraft? I'd certainly take Rod Smith higher, but he also goes higher.I'd take Brown higher in a dynasty of course.

 

[nygiants56]

I would love to vote for Matt Jones but I think the situation Reggie Brown is in gives him the advantage.

Reggie Brown seems like the logical choice to have a breakout season, but hasn't Andy Reid been talking about trying to run the ball more in 2006? Any Philly homers have any insider info on this?

 

[FUBAR]

Brandon Jones, TEN [ 3 ]

Craphonso Thorpe, KCC [ 2 ]

Roydell Williams, TEN [ 4 ]

I would rank Williamson #1 of the bunch if he had a QB with more of an arm.

According to myfantasyleague, Brown is WR24 and Smith is WR26.

 

[trader jake]

voted matt jones. a few posters have mentioned his natural ability and with jimmy smith's retirement he'll now get a lot of targets. the two components that puts him over the top on this list for me is his ability to make plays in the red zone and the likelihood that he improves from year one to two in the NFL after playing QB in college

matt jones: ability + opportunity + likely improvement + and he's already showed a knack for making plays in the end zone =

That's why I'm on the Matt Jones side. For all that he is unpolished, with Jimmy Smith gone, Matt Jones is the WR that the coaches feel they simply have to get the ball to.

I also am very high on Jones. How much value does he have though?

I have Wilford, Mike Williams, Brandon Jones, and Reggie Brown. Would you trade any 2 of them for Matt Jones?

I know, I would like to include Wilford as I really don't want both WIlford and Jones on my team. Would Wilford and B. Jones be a fair offer?

But everyone shut up already.

I'd much perfer to take him later in the draft rather than sooner.

Right now, he is a value pick. If he gets hyped, he might be getting drafted too early.

I wouldn't make that trade as a Matt Jones owner. However, if he would make it, you should take it.Matt Jones has uper-tier potential. I don't see that potential in Wilford or Jones.

Having studs is what wins games.

 

[ATC1]

B. Edwards - Dynasty (career)

R. Brown - Redraft (best number this year)

M. Jones - low risk/high reward (potential breakout)

Mark Clayton. When McNair goes there, Clayton should blow up.

I agree. He's the guy until Braylon is fully recoverd from injury...
