He would at best be a WR4. I'd rather give Mack Hollins the chance to develop
I have no idea who the Patriots are taking in the first round. You can usually get a good idea of what a time is looking for by their visits. They're definitely looking at pass rushers, running backs and wide receivers. From first rounders to mid rounders. Not looking at offensive line outside of one visit with Kolton Miller. They did visit with two of the top safeties, which is very interesting. They didn't talk to any safeties other than Reid and Harrison. So they are definitely on the board for the first two rounds.
If I had to guess Bill's priorities...
Pass rush>Secondary>Cover linebacker>Defensive tackle>Running Back>Wide receiver
He might still take Kolton Miller in the first round. It looks like that's who they've targeted at offensive tackle, if they take one at all. If they don't take a QB in the second round, I don't think they'll take a QB. They will take a WR, but I think it will be on day 2 or 3. They could take a running back in almost any round.
If I had to guess what will happen.
1 Pass rush or outside linebacker
2 Running back
3 Safety
4 Kyle Lauletta

I'm assuming he meant that he wanted to make the Hall and that's what was keeping him playing but he's giving up on it because his body is breaking down
Not that he'd make the hall even if he played for like 5 more years
How would they feel if Lamar Jackson was around their daughters
I'll bet the numbers are similar historically.
For as much as receivers depend on "raw talent" to be great, they almost always take 3 years to develop. It's also so dependent on their QB and surrounding talent. If the other receivers on their team are too good they won't get the ball. If the other receivers are garbage they'll get hit with the #1 corner every game.
2014 was an anomaly, most classes kinda wind up where we've seen the last few. A few guys from 2015 will randomly break out this year and all of the sudden their class looks great.
You remember what happened to Emmitt Till and Tom in To Kill A Mockingbird?
Last year proved offenses in general are going through a crisis.
If he doesnt he will personally shit down the throat of everyone who doesnt vote for him
Out talenting shitty college corners doesn't mean much in the NFL when your not waving for the ball wide open constantly any more
What's with the Maclin hate? If he is out there and if they want him, then who cares? Maclin is better than Hollins obviously, still young, sure hands, great route runner, and great locker room guy.
I mean it is a big IF since they did sign Wallace already but if they come out of the draft empty handed at the WR position or don't like what's out there, why not Maclin? They barely have picks this draft so it wouldn't be shocking if they don't a WR and don't like what they have in Treggs, Gibson, and other camp bodies.
Of course, another team could also offer him a decent contract. I am shocked teams like the Jets or Titans haven't picked him up.
Is he going to play ST? I don't see a reason to have a 4th WR who isn't going to contribute in other ways, and Hollins is fine as the 4 as is. The Eagles have said ST is a priority next season. That ship has sailed.
I could easily turn this around and say why the Mack Hollins hate? He barely saw the field last year, but whenever he was thrown to, good things happened. He's a great blocker, a hard worker, contributes on ST, and he's only in his second year. Why do you want to bury him down the depth chart and hurt his development?
The only reason I can see you wanting Maclin is because he's a former Eagle. He doesn't have much left, there's a reason he's still out on the market. Andy Reid gave up on him after two seasons. The Ravens decided not to bring him back, and they have literally nothing at WR. Those two things should tell you something. He's turning 30, has been hampered by injuries, and he has had declining production for the last two years. If I suggested signing an anonymous receiver with that exact story, it would be considered a waste. Maclin's time as an Eagle was great, but signing him would be pointless
Browns took Braylon Edwards when Rodgers was there lol...
Reid didn't give up on Maclin and even he was surprised by his release.
Alright fair enough, but he still has had two seasons of declining production, is older, slower, and hampered by injury. If the Eagles didn't sign Mike Wallace I'd be open to it but I don't see a need for Maclin now
That can be said for any position. If Megatron is on the board, I take Megatron. I don't take JaMarcus Russell just because he's the least shitty looking QB in the draft.
