We have plenty of speed guys on the team. What we need are guys who can adjust well to the ball in the air and come down with it in contested situations. None of our fast receivers have great ball skills, elite body control, or enough strength to come down with the contested catch. Strong has all of that.

When I see Strong play, I think of Marques Colston. He's not a burner but he has enough speed and is strong at the catch point. If you like the redzone effeciency now, it'll improve even more with a guy like Strong on the team.

Another player I would look at is Duke Williams in terms of a big bodied, physical WR, elite body control, and excellent hands. He can probably be had in the 3rd as I expect him to run a relatively slow 40 time like Alshon Jeffrey did.

Could definitely use a WR like that, but our speed receivers (Avery and Jenkins) both suck. They can't run routes very well and their hands suck. They are just fast and that's it.

That's why I wanted Nelson Agholor. But I would like to bring in both types of WR's and add another red zone weapon at TE.

Jarrett Boykin was a cheap option I mentioned before in free agency that is a somewhat similar type of WR to Strong (though not as talented). Hopefully he'll be one of many for us.

I want to add 2 WR's this spring. Scrap Avery, Hemmingway and Jenkins.

If you guys want a quick slot guy, I'm really liking ECU's Hardy around the 3rd round. Tough and quick slot guy with really good body control to adjust to any passes. He can go up and get it too.
