WR Amari Cooper or Kevin White?

[shopson67]

yeah our DB's are in pretty good shape but Jenkins and Johnson will be FA's in 16 so its a possibility.

Pass defense was 19th last year, even with the loaded defensive line pressuring the QB. There is definitely improvement to be had. Jenkins and Johnson are far from shut-down corners.

As far as WR not being a need, what Rams WR will draw a double team? Until they have that guy, they aren't set at WR. Britt is not that guy, Quick was developing but who knows what he'll be like after that injury. Bailey is not guy. They can't even figure out how to use Austin. Givens continues to regress. Pettis is on the roster fringe. How are the Rams set at WR? Maybe they can snag Brandon Marshall if he's cut loose.

The only part of the roster that could be considered set would be the defensive line, and even that could use depth, especially with the release of Langford.

I completely agree shop. I would like to see are passing defense stats midseason to the end after they started coming together though. WR Parker has kinda fell off the radar but he had a very good combine and I don't think gets past 15. Chances are there will be a very good DT at 10 I can hear the screaming now if that's the pick lol.

But we can't assume that White/Cooper are going to automatically be good and need to be double teamed, the DB's in he NFL were supposedly the best in college, these guys were going up against a few DB's in college that "might" make it in the NFL

All you can do is trust your scouting. You can't assume any of these linemen are going to automatically be good either.

What's the word on Justin Blackmon? When he's reinstated he will be a cheap FA with high talent level. If he's making league minimum what's it hurt to take a chance on him?

Therein lies the problem, can we trust our scouting? Although I would have to say overall we have drafted fairly well, we just dont seem to utilize what we have!

I'm not sure, but I don't think he is a free agent yet!

I tried to look into it yesterday and couldn't find much, he's still on suspension but I would assume he'd be coming off it closer to the start of the new league year seeing as he missed an entire season.

I was thinking he had been released, apparently I was wrong. Thanks for the info.

No problem, I had kind of forgotten about this knuckled, kind of like I will probably forget about Josh Gordon in a year or two!

Which is unfortunate because both of them can play, just gotta get their heads straight.

Blackmon is still under contract to Jax and Khan says he wants to give him a second chance
