If Bowe goes down . . .

[OldSchool]

What the hell are they going to do with the WR position?

I don't care how good of a play designer or play caller Reid can be, or if Alex Smith plays like he did in the playoff game for the entire season, we'd be lucky to average 20 points a game if our WR core becomes:

Avery, Jenkins, Hemmingway, Wilson/Williams/Dressler

Is Dorsey expecting our defense to hold opposing offenses to less than 10 points a game or something?

The only WR's out there right now who are worth even a tiny glance are:

Miles Austin
Santonio Holmes

That's literally it on the FA market.

Do we trade Flowers for someone? Who would make that trade? Hali?

It seems like the FO is betting on Jenkins, Avery, and Hemmingway to step up their games in year 2, but I won't be holding my breath on it.

Another possibility is that they expect Kelce back at full strength and expect him to be a 40-60 catch guy for us as an inline TE and occasional slot guy.

All I know is that Reid really has his work cut out for him. This offensive roster, in terms of receiving weapons, is nearly as bad as his early 2000 Eagles days when he had Todd Pinkston, Freddy Mitchell, and James Thrash as his top receivers. I just pray that Bowe can stay healthy and put up at least 80% of the production that Owens had for the Eagles in 2004.

Dorsey will pick up a veteran cut in the preseason.

That said, I fully expect that Hemingway wll be the odd man out when that happens.

[RunKC]

We've got a couple weapons we're high on from the draft in Kelce and Thomas, so I don't think we'd be completely ****ed, thought that would be a bigtime problem.

Losing Bowe would hurt, but Charles is still the focal point. We won games last year with him despite not using Bowe effectively.

Would scare the shit out of me though. No doubt.

Most teams are screwed when their top weapons go down.

We would be more screwed if Jamal went down.

Denver isn't screwed if a receiver goes down. **** me, they're not even screwed if TWO receivers go down.

Green Bay WAS screwed when Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb went down last year. Now they're not (Davante Adams, Jared Abbrederis, and Jeff Janis all in the same draft... jesus mother****ing christ)

It's all about where and how you choose to be screwed in case of injuries.

In Kansas City's case, we were 5-deep at CB going into the draft. Adding Gaines made us 6-deep, and we didn't bother to remedy that unbalanced depth by shipping out Flowers. We chose to do that instead of taking Moncrief, Abbrederis, Ellington, or Martavis Bryant.

Now if we have an injury at WR, we're ****ed. For ****'s sake... we're ****ed even if we stay healthy the entire season at WR. We're just plain ****ed at that position period.

And since we didn't stock up NOW when all the good WRs are available in the draft, we're not going to have ANY options next year other than reaching on a WR because we desperately need one. Or overpaying for one in free agency. That's our other option.

There could be someone available next year at our 1st or 2nd pick who will be just as good as anyone that we could have gotten in the 3rd this year.

In a normal draft class, that would be the case.

The WR talent is all ****ing gone, dude. So many underclassmen came out this year. The well is officially bone ****ing dry in 2015 if you want a WR.

You can either reach on a prospect in the 1st round or wait until 2016, basically.

Dorsey should have seen that shit coming, and he didn't. Now he'll pay for his lack of vision.

Lets not forget we've got two first round talents starting #1 and #2 for us.........

There are still some WRs that I like for next year. It's not as deep as this year but not completely devoid of talent either.

Moncrief would have likely been a first rounder next season.

And guess what?

We won't get him next year either.

I don't get you Sac. You hate on Avery for dropping passes and want to upgrade with another guy that drops passes?

Jaelen Strong
Dorial Green-Beckham
Amari Cooper
Rashad Greene
Ty Montgomery
Austin Hill
Devante Parker

Most, if not all, of these guys will be available next year in the draft. Like any of them as a potential #1 and at least a #2? Any other names you want to throw in there?
