95 catches, 1200 yards, 8 TDs
I agree with this, and these numbers put me to sleep. I won't be drafting Fitz since he's top 3 to 5 on everyone's list. His numbers could be monstrous with a great QB, but he has total crap. I'd rather take WR's a round or 2 later who are going to put up the exact same numbers.
And who might these guys be? I have no doubt some players can put up those type of stats but I'm having trouble thinking of who they might be 12-24 picks later.
Welker, Nicks, Brandon Marshall, Victor Cruz
Maclin, Bowe, Dez & Miles, Demaryius Thomas.
i like this list a lot better than the previous one. I can see it with maclin. I have reservations on Bowe (new sysytem, Charles is back, contract unsettled). Dez or Miles, one or the other, is likely to hit the yardage and/or TDs, but 95 catches on a team that has Murray, Jones, Witten, and the other WR (Miles or DEZ), is a lot to ask for. Thomas, will not happen. If Manning is nothing, he is a creature of precision and trust and I think Tamme has the trust issue and Decker is the guy that fits more of what Peyton likes to do. I can see thomas being a high TD guy with average yardage and 65-80 catches, but not top shelf numbers across the board.So basically that leaves me with a decision of taking Fitz, who I know will, somehow, someway, post a top WR statline when all is said or done, or I gamble and try to think that someone in the next 12-24 picks won't have a good sense about Maclin. I think I take fitz and rest well at night. Too many questions with all the others.
